Course Tour

#1

Hole #1 | 437 yards | Par 4

Silver: 437; Gold: 391; Blue: 364; White: 337;Green: 310

The opening hole is a dogleg right that plays downhill off of the tee and uphill on the approach. A natural swale crosses the fairway 30 yards short of the green. The green is unguarded and features two large oak trees on the left-hand side.

#2

Hole #2 | 162 yards | Par 3

Silver: 162; Gold: 137; Blue: 129; White: 110; Green: 89

The second hole is the course’s shortest par 3. Three bunkers guard the right-hand side of the large green, which is framed by tall oak trees. The smart play on this hole is to aim the ball at the left side of the green and let the prevailing wind and natural slope work the ball to the right.

#3

Hole #3 | 460 yards | Par 4

Silver: 460; Gold: 423; Blue: 410; White: 381; Green: 267

This long dogleg right sweeps through the native hardwood forest. A large jagged bunker crosses the fairway well short of the green. A poor drive will leave the player with a decision to lay-up to the bunker or try to carry it. A grass hollow guards the left side of this big deep green.

#4

Hole #4 | 587 yards | Par 5

Silver: 587; Gold: 526; Blue: 499; White: 457; Green: 422

Take aim at the fairway bunker on this downhill tee shot. Also take a look at the breathtaking views of Waco. The second shot will test your accuracy. The landing area is pinched between the expansive lake on the right and a bunker on the left. The green is bunkered left and short while the right side juts out into the lake.

Hole #9 | 482 yards | Par 4

Silver: 482; Gold: 431; Blue: 395; White: 357; Green: 330

This long straightforward hole, carved out of the forest, will be a test of accuracy and length off the tee and into the green. A bunkerless green allows approach shots to run on to the green. A trick left to right wind helps make this a difficult finish to the front nine.

#10

Hole #10 | 610 yards | Par 5

Silver: 610; Gold: 547; Blue: 514; White: 482; Green: 449

This demanding par 5, the longest hole on the course, features a lateral hazard running the length of the right side. Your approach shot must carry the creek that crosses the fairway in front of the green. Two bunkers on the right, one on the left, and yet another behind guard the green. The hillside left of the green extends into the putting surface creating dramatic contouring.

Hole #14 | 216 yards | Par 3

Silver: 216; Gold: 210; Blue: 155; White: 145; Green: 138

A beautiful, downhill par 3 that plays differently depending on the tee you are playing. From the Championship tee, the hole plays downwind and requires a carry over a large pecan tree. The green is guarded by a bunker on the right as well as by a marsh to the right and behind the green. The other tees are a different strategy. A large bunker is situated in front of the green.

#15

Hole #15 | 419 yards | Par 4

Silver: 419; Gold: 376; Blue: 349; White: 306; Green: 279

This par 4, bordered by the Bosque River on the left, may be the most intimidating tee shot on the golf course. As well as the River, the fairway is tree lined with a creek on the right that crosses the fairway. The green is situated in a natural setting with a hillside encroaching from the right and the Bosque River on the left.

#16

Hole #16 | 515 yards | Par 5

Silver: 515; Gold: 471; Blue: 460; White: 400; Green: 387

It is possible to reach this par 5 with 2 accurate golf shots. The Bosque River continues its course down the entire length on the left of this hole. The tee shot, which should favor the right side, is downhill and carries over a limestone creek bed. Those who dare to get home in two will have to carry a second creek 100 yards short of the green. The green is well contoured with multiple levels. Beware of going over the green, there is a creek behind.

#17

#18

Hole #18 | 430 yards | Par 4

Silver: 430; Gold: 390; Blue: 368; White: 316; Green: 306

This closing hole will test your endurance and strength at the end of the round. The tee shot, playing uphill and slightly into a left-to-right wind, will need to carry a native area on the right. Do not go right of the native area; a creek along the entire right side awaits all shots that are wayward. The uphill second shot plays over a creek bed and will require a long iron to a green guarded by bunkers on the right and left. This is a difficult finish.
