Both courses use a marking system that includes sprinkler heads measures to the center of the green, and with 100, 150 and 200 yard markers on the fairways and cart paths of all par fours and fives. Pin placement sheets with the day's hole locations are provided to each golfer. This information comes in handy on these large, undulating greens - which feature some of the best putting turf in the region - Tif Eagle.

HIGHLANDS REVIEW

The Highland course is designed on some extremely hilly terrain, with tee shots often beginning from elevated tees, playing over ravines or natural areas, then climbing back uphill to the sloping green complexes. Trees do not come into play on this rolling terrain, but 46 strategically placed sand bunkers that are located near the landing zones off the tee or greenside, help to provide challenge and esthetic beauty. Water comes into play on just two holes, but golfers will encounter some significant carries off the tee.

A generous number of holes play uphill on the approach - so 1 or even 2 extra clubs are often needed. There is often room greenside, but grassy swales and collection areas will challenge golfer's abilities to get up and down. Five sets of tee boxes play to distances and slopes measuring 6954 yards/138 slope, 6549 yards/134 slope, 6116 yards/122 slope, 5617 yards/114 slope for men and 127 for women, and 5005 yards with a slope of 106 for men and 111 for ladies hitting from the forward tees. While the back tees feature some intimidating tee shots, the 2 forward sets take most of the trouble out of play - making this a user friendly layout for high handicappers and resort golfers.
