the green. Hole No. 12 is a 491-yard par 5 with a dogleg right some 100 plus yards off the tee. Keep the driver in the bag on this tee shot. There is water in front of the green and traps surround this green. We classify this hole a “real good” golf hole and your par 5 can be a challenge here. Hole No. 13 is a 329-yard par 4 with an uphill open fairway with a slight dogleg to the left. Sand traps are in front of this very large green so hitting an accurate approach shot near the pin is important. Hole No. 14 is a 548-yard par 5 and is the longest hole at Tennanah Lake. The fairway runs downhill, there is a pond on the left, keep your ball in the center of the fairway as it narrows going into the green. Stay out of the ditch which runs across the fairway, some 300 yards off the tee. Traps front right and left. Hole No. 15 is a 419-yard par 4, uphill and a straight open fairway. There is a unique covered bridge here which connects the 15th and 16 fairways and this tends to be a conversation piece for all golfers. There is a sand trap on the left and right of this small but challenging green.
Hole No. 16 is a 413-yard par 4 with the fairway running downhill and trees all along the left. Stay in the middle/right side of the fairway to keep out of trouble. There is a sand trap on both the left and right of this green. Hole No. 17 is a 196-yard par 3 with an elevated green. Tends to play longer than it looks, and it takes a good tee shot with a long iron or wood to the green to score your par. Sand traps are on the left and right front of this green. Hole No. 18 is a 408-yard- par 4 with an open fairway running uphill. Keep down the middle. Traps right and left sides of this green. This back nine runs a total of 3,365 yards and records a par 36. Total yards for the 18-holes from the blue tees is 6,546 with a par of 72. This golf course, restaurant, tennis courts and remaining facilities can be reached at 607-4985000.
