COURSE INFORMATION
“The predominant feeling you have in this place is one of peace and tranquility. The holes are secluded from one another so that golfers don’t really see others until they reach the sixteenth hole. The separations are created by a combination of elevations and trees. With the woods, creeks and ravines, and the open fairways stretching into silence, there’s a great sense of walking with nature.”
Tom Fazio, Golf Course Designer, Karsten Creek.

This hole is a straightaway 540-yard par 5 that plays into the prevailing south wind. The tee shot must contend with a fairway bunker on the left and the second shot could be obstructed by a large tree that guards the approach to the green.

This hole is a beautiful downhill par three that is normally played with a left to right wind. The green is angled to allow shots hit to the front left an opportunity to roll to the back right pin placement. The tee box features a panoramic view of the countryside for 15 miles.

This hole provides another panoramic view. A left to right shot is preferable on this wide fairway. Once you reach the green your work has just begun. The green is slightly elevated, and most of the putting surface can be seen from the fairway.

The longest hole on the golf course, it is downhill and normally downwind. The fairway slopes right to left and the second shot is dramatically downhill. The green, which is the smallest on the course, is bunkered to the left and right.
Par: 5Yards: 624DonorsBonne & Dennis Smith,
Lisa & Rob Geresi -
This hole is downhill and downwind. The front of the small green is guarded by a severe left to right slope that will funnel most approach shots into a bunker on the right side of the green or a creek, which meanders along the back and right side of the green.
Par: 4Yards: 350DonorsLaurie & Bill Dobbs
-
This hole plays east to west and is well bunkered. A new tee box on this hole not only adds length but also difficulty to the easiest of the par 3s. The green is probably the largest and most severely sloped on the golf course.
Par: 3Yards: 185DonorsJean & Bob Scheutz,

Sue & John Taylor -
This is the most difficult hole on the course at 467 yards into a prevailing south wind. The tee shot must carry 180 yards to clear the lake. The green is guarded by a bunker on the front left. Lake Louise sits menacingly to the left to swallow any pulled shots.
Par: 4Yards: 464DonorsBarbara & Tom Naugle
-
This downhill, normally downwind hole may allow quite a few birdies. However, the tee shot must carry 241 yards to clear the lake and the entire length of the hole is bordered by Lake Louise to the left. This green could set the stage for a dramatic finish to a championship round.
