Hole #9 - The last hole on the front nine is a 502 yard par 5. A draw off the tee on this dogleg left and solid second and third shots will setup a birdie opportunity. Two bunkers guard the front left and right of the green.

Tips: For the big hitter, you can cut the dogleg, but it is not always the smart play. Make sure the wind is with you or in your favor. More trouble lurks on the left side the closer you get to the hole. The best shot is one that draws around the dogleg and land about 240-260 in the middle of the fairway. If you get in the trees on the right, then chip it out and get back in play. Once you hit in these trees, you are looking at 6 and probably 7 or higher. From the fairway, you should aim at the tree on the right side of the green and work the ball back just slightly to the right. The right to left sloped fairway will help you in this regard. If you trust your fairway wood, this green is very reachable in 2. For the shorter hitters, play the ball down the right side off the tee, so you clear the dogleg. From here, get you ball to the top of the ridge around 130-150 yards. You are on a down slope with rough from 130-80 yards from the green. You don't want to be in this position. From the top of the hill you can see the pin. Try and keep your second shot on the left side of the fairway as this offers the best angle into the green. The green slopes from back to front and from right to left. The bunkers on the right side and left front are not very demanding and are easily escaped. Any putt below the hole will break to the left with a vengeance. Leaving this hole with less than a par means you made a mistake. Keep it in play and par or better awaits.

Hole #10 - This downhill 353 yard par 4 requires an accurate drive to avoid the Reservoir off the left hand rough. An accurate fairway wood/long iron off the tee will be rewarded with an easy short to mid iron approach. Be careful of the bunkers lining the right side of the hole by the green.

Tips: Do not use your driver on this hole, it will cause you grief. I repeat, Do not use your driver on this hole. The big hitters and shorter hitters can use caution. Use a controlled iron or fairway wood played to the middle or right side of the fairway. A driver hit errantly right will wind up in the woods and the best you can hope for is a 5. A 3-wood may keep you out of the woods even if you push it right. Trees line the entire left hand side and will cause immediate bogey or worse to enter your mind. There is no sense getting a bogey on this huge and wide fairway. This hole usually plays about 350, so take whatever you can hit safely between 200-220 and use that club off the tee. This will leave you with 130-150 yards to a huge flat green. If you are having a case of "the hooks", then aim far right, as the fairway snakes from right the left and down to the water as it goes through the trees. The green on this hole is generally very soft, so fire away at the pin. A back pin is further back than you think, so give a good rip. This is a good birdie hole.
