The par four 12th hole measures 269 to only 403 yards from the back tee, but the well designed bunkers and green will challenge the player all the way to the hole.

From the elevated tee box, the fairway slopes downhill before rising and climbing to the left following the natural contour of the land. Bunkers run along the left side of the doglegged fairway beginning at the 150 yard mark and continuing to the back of the green with another bunker and collection area guarding the right hand side of the landing area. Long hitters will also need to be aware of a collection area straight through the fairway that drops 20-30 feet and features deep rough. A recovery from here to the well protected green is no bargain.

The left side bunkers are all below the level of play and present a difficult recovery from lies close to the bunker faces. The right side bunker is more level and allows the player an easier recovery unless you catch the right rear finger of the bunker where a more pronounced face requires a higher shot off the clubface.

Players will find the fairway is relatively level with uphill lies for their approach shot. Bunkers guarding the front right of the green are deep and shots can funnel to the front of the hazard. This can be a plus for the player sometimes and allow bunker shots to gain the necessary elevation to get on the green.

The green is partitioned into thirds and offers several potential pin placements. The front left third of the green slopes towards the fairway and runs from left to right. This will put a premium on lag putts from the other two thirds of the green that will feature fast speeds and breaks as much as twenty feet.

The shelf above the left front slopes away from the player with a steep hillside acting as a backstop that can catch long shots and bounce them back to this level. However there is also a small hollow in this hillside that will present a simple chip to the middle and rear portions of the green and a hair raising adventure to any front pin placements.

The rear third of the green is a clear separate area that slopes towards the front bunkers with a ridge separating it from the middle third of the green and another smaller ridge running from the middle to the rear of the green.

I find that putting on this part of the green is more challenging than the front part because of the various obstacles you can face on a putt including breaks into the hill or running away from you at a maddening pace.
