TOWN OF WEST HARTFORD | LEISURE SERVICES DEPARTMENT

Hole 1

Par HDCP 4 13 342 329 320 Par HDCP 4 9 309

A Tip from the Pros: Good starting hole. A tee shot right center will allow for a short mid-iron to the green. Green depth 28 yds. Width 38 yds.

Hole 2

Par HDCP 4 17 284 277 271 Par HDCP 4

13 261

A Tip from the Pros: Dogleg to the left. A tee shot placed right center will open the entire green for your second shot. Green is elevated - play your approach to stop below the hole. Green depth 32 yds. Width 18 yds.

Hole 3

Par HDCP 4 1 435 386 373 Par HDCP 4

5 340

A Tip from the Pros: A good drive down the right center of the fairway is mandatory so you can make a good approach shot. The brook that runs through the fairway will not come into play except for the real long hitter and the length of this hole makes it as a good Par 4. Green depth 35 yds. Width 28 yds.

Hole 4

Par HDCP 4 3 406 394 368 Par HDCP 4

1 322

A Tip from the Pros: Tee shot center of fairway. Play your approach shot to land below the hole. Green depth 18 yds. Width 22 yds.

Hole 5

Par HDCP 3 9 187 183 176 Par HDCP 3

15 163

A Tip from the Pros: The tee shot needs to be straight with O.B. left and severe slope to the right makes this par 3 very challenging.

Green depth 34 yds. Width 18 yds.

Hole 6

Par HDCP 5 15 486 449 433 Par HDCP 5

3 392

A Tip from the Pros: Tee shot placement short of hill, or for the longer hitter, down the right side. The approach shot should end up below the hole. Green depth 20 yds. Width 29 yds.

Hole 7

Par HDCP 4 11 339 322 298 Par HDCP 4

7 281

A Tip from the Pros: Tee shot requires placement left center in order to have a good shot to the green. Approach shot requires good club selection - too much, you're in the water - too little, you're in the bunker. Green depth 28 yds. Width 29 yds.

Hole 8

Par HDCP 3 7 187 180 171 Par HDCP 3

17 121

A Tip from the Pros: This scenic hole plays 188 yards from the back tees and rises up in the distance against a tree-lined backdrop.

The elevated green has a front and back tier, and two imposing bunkers guard the green in front. Green depth 28 yds. Width 18 yds.

Hole 9

Par HDCP 5 5 508 457 435 Par HDCP 5

11 413

A Tip from the Pros: Tee shot left center. Approach shot requires one to leave ball below the hole. Green depth 24 yds. Width 24 yds.

Hole 10

Par HDCP 4 2 419 405 393 Par HDCP 4

8 359

A Tip from the Pros: Tee shot right center. The hole plays shorter on approach because it's down hill. Green depth 38 yds. Width 22 yds.

Hole 11

Par HDCP 4 16 291 277 271 Par HDCP 4

14 264

A Tip from the Pros: Tee shot center right. Mid- to short- iron is required for your approach. Green depth 29 yds. Width 21 yds.

Hole 12

Par HDCP 5 10 507 462 423 Par HDCP 5

10 393

A Tip from the Pros: A good solid tee shot required to clear brook that runs through this hole. Second shot should be right center.

One must be careful because O.B. runs all the way down the left side. Green depth 32 yds. Width 22 yds.

Hole 13

Par HDCP 3 18 168 151 129 Par HDCP 3

18 111

A Tip from the Pros: Try to keep below the hole with your tee shot. O.B. left and behind green. Green depth 30 yds. Width 22 yds.

Hole 14

Par HDCP 5 8 526 493 463 Par HDCP 5

2 406

A Tip from the Pros: A good drive on this par-5 gives better players the opportunity to reach the green in two. But your second shot either way is the most important. The hole turns slightly to the right toward a green guarded by bunkers on the left, mounds of tall fescue in the back and water to the right and front. The safe play would be to lay up shot. Green depth 20 yds. Width 30 yds.

Hole 15

Par HDCP 4 6 369 360 348 Par HDCP 4

6 326

A Tip from the Pros: Tee shot should be left center of fairway.

Hole 17

Par HDCP 4 12 384 363 316 Par HDCP 4

12 268

4 375
