Course layout

Feature hole

The sixteenth hole, aptly named the pond, is the feature hole of the course and requires a well-hit tee shot to avoid water and bushes. Leading up to the green is a valley just past a patch of large trees. The elevated green is protected by three bunkers and trees at the back.
