This par five requires a solid drive over the first pond and generally requires you to lay up in front of the second pond for a short iron into the green. If you can hit straight at the green off the tee then you might be able to go for it in two. Another boomerang shaped green means you need a fairly accurate shot.

Par: 3
Men’s Tees (Yards): Black 181, Silver 150
Men’s Handicap: 13
Women’s Tee (Yards): Gold 140

This hole requires an accurate long iron tee shot to a narrow elevated undulated green. Deep pot-bunkers surround this elevated green and will kick any errant tee shots into a difficult up and down situation for even the most skilled of players.

Par: 4
Men’s Tees (Yards): Black 467, Blue 420
Men’s Handicap: 1
Women’s Tee (Yards): Red 369
Women’s Handicap: 1
Big valley requires the toughest approach shot on the Southside. Out of bounds on the right hand-side, tree line down the left-hand side requires a right centered fairway shot.

With winds approaching from the southwest, it becomes humanly impossible to reach the green in two, at times the long hitters have mid to long irons into the green on their third shots.
