Hole Par Yard Description Image
1 4 432

A rolling fairway that slopes significantly to the left in the landing area. The green is sloped from back to front and is also raised in the front right.

2 4 443

A downhill tee shot to a wide fairway that slopes to the left. Fairway bunkers are in play on the left side approximately 270-295 yards from the tee. The green is one of PCC’s most severe with a false front and left side. The closely mown area to the left of the green sees a lot of action.

3 3 196

A tee shot over water to a fairly subtle green. The bunker left of the green is not visible from the tee. Tee shots landing on the bank right of the green will run into the water.

4 4 360

This short hole presents a difficult driving challenge.  An uphill carry of approximately 265 yards is required to reach the upper fairway which slopes to the right. Three fairway bunkers placed diagonally along the left side will catch some aggressive shots on that line. The green has a mild ridge in the middle and slopes slightly from back to front.

5 5 527

This hole plays slightly downhill off the tee and uphill to the green. The fairway slopes from left to right and the green can be reached in two by longer hitters. Cross bunkers approximately 50 yards short of the green force players to make a strategic decision. The green slopes from back left to front right and has a closely mown area to the right.

6 3 164

A severe slope from the front right of the green towards the center makes getting the ball close to forward or right-side hole locations difficult. The well bunkered green complex makes par saves difficult as well.

7 4 471

A tee shot that carries at least 265 yards rewards players with extra roll and a view of the green. Tee shots that find the bunkers left of the fairway make reaching the green very difficult. Only well struck iron shots from the fairway will hold on the green which slopes towards the back left of the green.

8 4 480

Players must hit to a tight, uphill landing area that requires both precision and length.  The green is very deep and most severe towards the front portion. 

9 4 368

Most solid tee shots will leave a blind shot with a short iron or wedge to a two-tier green. Take note of the hole locations as it's very difficult to save par if you end up on the wrong tier.

10 4 411

A small creek on teh right side of the fairway can be reached by long hitters or when conditions are firm.  Because of the angle of the green, a tee shot down the left side is prefered.  The severe green on this short hole makes birdies and bogeys possible. 

11 3 148

The false front on this green will cause shots that land short to feed into a large bunker. Tee shots that carry over or left of the green will force an extremely difficult recovery as the green slopes significantly from back to front. 

12 5 588

This par 5 presents several strategic decisions on the second and third shots. Well struck tee shots can leave players 220-270 yards from the green because of the down slope in the landing area. A creek that runs diagonally across the fairway makes players choose to lay up either left or right of the creek, or attempt to carry it. A spine separates the back left and back right portions of the green. The creek continues next to the green on the left.  

13 4 482

A ridge that runs diagonally across the fairway affects where tee shots end up on this slight dogleg to the right. The flattest green on the course is guarded by two bunkers and chipping areas in the back right and left.

14 3 228

Long irons, hybrids or fairway woods will be needed to carry the pond that is short right of the severely undulating green. Mounds to the left and a chipping area behind the green provide additional interest to the green complex.

15 4 372

A carry of about 240 yards is required to clear the cross-bunker complex in the right side of the fairway. The green slopes significantly from back to front and is guarded by bunkers in front with a  chipping area to the right.

16 5 582

Tee shots that find the fairway will allow players to carry the large cross-bunker complex on their second shots. Players who find the rough will have to choose whether to lay up, play left or try to carry the bunkers.  The green site is severely sloped from back to front and has an upper and lower tier.

17 4 427

Players will face a challenging tee shot to this dogleg right fairway that is guarded with cross bunkers and trees on the right side. The approach shot is to a subtle, elevated green.  

18 4 285

When played from the forward tee, long hitters can attempt to drive the elevated green, a mere 285 yards away.  The green complex is undulating and guarded by severe bunkers and fescue grasses, which will certainly add to the excitement of this memorable finishing hole.
