HOLE BY HOLE DESCRIPTIONSHole 1Southern DescentHole 2BackyardHole 3The RidgeThe 554-yard par five is a fantasticstarting hole. With bunkers coming intoplay on each shot, accuracy is at apremium. A well-placed second shot onthe left side of the fairway allows for aclear approach to this guarded green.Proper club selection sets up a strongbirdie opportunity.The 410-yard second hole is achallenging par four. With a generouslanding area off the tee, the bunker onthe right side of the fairway is the onlyobstacle to avoid from the tee. A wellstruckapproach shot is critical to landthe ball close to the hole. This trickygreen does not yield too many birdies soreading the undulations and breaks iscritical for success.This long par four is rated as thenumber one handicap hole on thecourse. At 462 yards in length, a soliddrive is critical for reaching this green intwo. Deep bunkers front this green tothe left and a grassy swale awaits a shotdrifting to the right. Into the prevailingwinds and slightly uphill, be sure toselect enough club to reach the greensafely.Hole 4Twin FirsHole 5Fall CityHole 6CascadeThis 426-yard par four sets up for astunning downhill tee shot. With two firtrees and fairway bunkers guarding bothsides of the fairway and a creek cuttingacross the fairway at the bottom of thehill, a solid tee shot is a must. Thisheavily guarded green short right andlong makes proper club selectionimperative.Named for its incredible view of Fall Cityand the Redmond-Fall City valley, thislong, downhill par four allows for astrong tee shot. A wide fairway andgenerous downhill landing area allowsthe ball to funnel toward the green. Asevere cliff drops off left so be sure toavoid going too far left. The downhillapproach plays shorter than it appearsand the ball will release toward the holdon the approach.This is a long, downhill par-3 that is afun spectator hole. The length ofthis hole is one reason why the par-3sare likely to be the toughest set of holesfor subpar scoring on the course. Don’texpect to see a lot of birdies here.35
