This is a short par 4.  A fairway wood or long iron tee shot to the left side of the fairway will leave the player a short iron to the green. The approach shot should be kept to the right of the hole for an uphill putt on this severely sloped green.  This hole is the most innocent looking on the course, but it is a test of early round short game nerves.   

This is a long and demanding hole.  A straight shot off the tee is required.  Out of Bounds markers stretch along the entire right side of the fairway and there is no bail out to the left.  Two good shots are required for a chance at making a par.  Par is a great score on this hole.

This is a short dogleg left par 4.  A conservative iron off the tee will leave the player a mid to short iron into the green.  This play also eliminates the chance of driving through the fairway.  If the player wants to take a greater risk, a driver or fairway wood over the corner of the dogleg can leave a short approach shot and a birdie opportunity, but be warned, the trees at the dogleg have grown tall and deep.

This par 4 hole also doglegs to the left, but cutting the corner is not an option here.  The dogleg is near the front of the green.  The best tee shot here will favor the right side of the fairway.  A well-struck drive will leave the player past the large fir on the corner of the dogleg.  From here the player faces a short iron shot into a deep narrow green with Johnson Creek to the right.

Club selection on this beautiful downhill par 3 is the key.  Keep the ball below the hole on this large round green.

An aggressive drive over the corner of this dogleg right will give the longer hitter a chance to reach this Par 5 in two shots.  More conservative players can still make birdie by avoiding the firs at the dogleg.  Bunkers guard the green to the right.  Keep it left of the pin on this green, which is severely sloped from right to left.  Take advantage of this chance to make birdie. 

This is no birdie hole and not for the player with claustrophobia!  A long straight drive is necessary to avoid stands of old growth oak and fir trees lining both sides of the fairway.  The second shot is equally challenging to this sloped well-bunkered green.  Take a par and run to the 8^th tee.

This is a long and demanding par 3.  Club selection can vary on this hole from a long iron to  driver based on prevailing winds and time of year.  Beware of the deep bunker short and left of the green.  Par is a great score here.

Get after the drive on this hole to get a chance at birdie or eagle.  After a good drive the player faces a pinpoint shot to avoid large evergreens to the left and a series of bunkers short and right of the green.

Distance is not a factor on this hole.  A straight long iron placed between the fairway bunker and old growth oak trees will leave a short iron shot to this two-tiered green.

This is an easy par 5 that can be reached with two good shots if the player cuts the corner of the dogleg.  There are options off the tee, which make this easy but dangerous hole both fun and challenging.    The green is protected by a bunker front right and over hanging trees on the left.  This is the best birdie or eagle opportunity of the day.

This is a medium length par 3 over water.  The key to this hole is club selection.  The green is severely sloped from back to front.  The player who wants a run at a birdie needs to be below the hole off the tee.  Any ball above the hole in the summer needs to be lagged carefully toward the cup.  This green can be quick from above the hole.

Course legend has it that Walter Hagen called this one of the best Par 5’s he had ever played.  This Par 5 can be reached with two shots, but danger is everywhere.  The tee shot needs to be played straightaway about 220 yards.  Any shot beyond that yardage may roll into the hazard within a gully.  This hole can be birdied without going for the green in two shots.  The putting surface is guarded by a playable swale in front, bunker to the right and a hazard to the left.   The left side of this green is much more dangerous than the right due to the slope.

The best play on this hole is a shot to the top of the ridge visible from the tee.  Anything played beyond the top of the ridge leaves a downhill lie and narrow fairway opening on the second shot over a small stream.  Bunkers right and left protect the green and wind seems to affect approach shots on this hole more than most.

This is a medium length Par 4 that has grown narrower over the years.  A straight tee shot is the key to this hole.  The green slopes from back to front.  This hole plays short in the summer, but prevailing winds and wet conditions make it play beyond its yardage in the winter and early spring.

This is a great dogleg right over water with lots of options from the tee.   A tee shot kept left of the hazard at about 230 yards to the middle of the fairway will leave a long but fair shot to the green.  The second shot can be made shorter by playing a tee shot closer to the stream that crosses the fairway, or under the right conditions very long hitters can belt their tee shots over the hazard leaving a short wedge shot to the green.  A well-placed bunker on the right guards this green.

This signature par 3 over water was built in 1918 before all the copies were made. This is the place to take a picture for visitors.  The Rhododendron Test Gardens are to the left and the water hazard is a wild life refuge.  This hole is a birdie opportunity if the iron shot is well played. The green is the flattest on the entire course.  Enjoy the newly built salmon-spawning stream on the walk to the 18^th tee.

This is a long and challenging hole with and trees right and left.  A bunker guards the right side of the green, which is gently sloped from left to right.  Approach shots will tend to run long and to the right side of the green during the summer.  Chip shots from the left side of this green are especially difficult if the pin position is on the left side of the putting surface.
