A long Par 4 early in the round. A tee shot down the left-hand side will tend to bounce back towards the center of the fairway. Make sure you calculate your yardage correctly on your approach shot as anything long of the green will likely result in a lost ball.

The first of four Par 5s on The Forest. Favor the left-hand side off the tee as anything down the right-hand side will end up in the right rough. However, too far left off the tee could leave you in one of Rees Jones’ circle bunkers. Place your layup shot to a comfortable yardage as most hole locations on this green are accessible.

Slightly uphill the entire way, take some extra club as you play to this green. A spine down the center of the green cuts it in half, left and right. Any hole location left of this spine should be played to with caution.

The hardest stroke index hole on The Forest, mostly due to its length and typical headwind. This is not a difficult fairway to hit but make sure you do, as reaching this green in two will be difficult if you find the rough or a fairway bunker. The green is mild once you reach it, but you must avoid going long.

The first Par 3 “up top” has a difficulty level based upon the hole location. Any flag in the front, center, or right of the green gives you a good opportunity to score. A flag on the left side of the green takes birdie out of play sans an aggressive tee shot, or a long putt made. A flag on the shelf in the back left of the green? Forget about it.

A straightaway Par 4 requires two solid shots for a chance at birdie. The right-hand side of the fairway tends to kick balls back towards the center, but a ball too far right will be blocked out by a large tree. This green slopes quite substantially from right to left and should be accounted for as you approach.

This Par 3 requires solid distance control as much as any on The Forest. Get a yardage to the widest part of the green and hit your tee shot there. Most hole locations on #8 should not be attacked.

This long par 5 requires 3 shots to reach the green. A large bunker guards the front of this over-sized, rolling, two-tiered green, and will catch any short approach shots.

This shorter par 4 requires accuracy off the tee. Once in the fairway, the green is a receptive target, but a miss right will test the best player’s short game.

A short par 5 requires a well-positioned tee shot. Long hitters will have a chance to go for the green in two, but the uphill approach shot requires extra club. The green slopes from back to front and rewards those who leave the ball beneath the hole.

This dogleg left demands two forced carries, both from the tee to the fairway, and from the fairway to the green. There is little room for error anywhere along the way.

A shorter 3 par will challenge your ability to determine wind direction, with swirling winds abound. The green is deeper than it appears and is receptive to a well-struck short iron.

Uphill and often into the wind, the player is rewarded with a shorter second shot after a drive up the right-hand side. The approach shot must avoid the deep bunker left of the green.

This short par 4 gives the player a great opportunity for birdie. A well struck drive will reward the player with a short iron approach.

A challenging par 4 that demands a tee shot into the fairway. Aim at the large tree off the tee and you will have a straightforward approach to a difficult green.

An intimidating par 3 that is our signature hole. There is some room to the left of the green, however, in order to hit the green, your tee shot has to take on the full length of the water.

The tee shot on this long par 5 must avoid the lake on the right of the fairway. A longer second shot will set up a short iron into this well guarded, multi-tiered green.
