Par: 3
Yardage: 159 yards

Hole 13: Bramble’s Snare
Par: 3
Yardage: 145 yards

Hole 14: The Forester’s Folly
Par: 4
Yardage: 374 yards
Description: Uphill and unwavering, this par 4 is marked by its tree-lined fairway and guarded green. Precision over power is the name of the game here.

Par: 4
Yardage: 307 yards

Hole 16: The Bravado Bend
Par: 5
Yardage: 490 yards
Description: A dogleg right that begs you to cut the corner—but heed caution. A controlled fade leaves a manageable second shot.

Par: 4
Yardage: 379 yards
