This hilly course has a small valley coming into play on a number of holes.   For a typically flat region, this course's terrain is quite hilly.  Mounds and moguls have been added recently that will cause many uneven lies.

The toughest hole is #3, a 419-yard, par 4, with a dogleg right fairway.  The narrow fairways are bordered by thick line of mature pine trees.  The easiest hole is # 10, a 331 yard par-4.
