470 Yards, Par 5
The opening hole demands a strong tee shot which doesn't stray from
the fairway. Along with bunkers on the left side of the
landing area, about 245 yards from the tee, tall heather is
prominent along both sides of the fairway. Another large
bunker lies on the right, 120 yards further down the line. The
fairway slopes severely away from the golfer 75 yards short of the
green, where pot bunkers can come into play. |

370 Yards, Par 4
The left side of the fairway, at 200 yards from the tee, has two
large bunkers surrounded by tall rough, while the right side has
three bunkers at the same distance. A good drive can result in
a downhill lie, but a good view of the green which is protected by
two bunkers at the right front and a bunker left front and rear.
Keeping the approach below the home makes for an easier putt. |

142 Yards, Par 3
Shortest of the par threes, this green is encircled by seven
bunkers. With the green sloping toward the tee, the safe shop is o
the middle of the green to avoid three-putts. Golfers should
use a short iron unless the wind becomes a factor. |

377 Yards, Par 4
The tee shots have a tendency to bounce to the right where tall
rough and a large bunker awaits. The second is a blind shot to
the large green. |

170 Yards, Par3
A tough, uphill par three. This hole has out of bounds and
tall rough on the right with the green protected by two large
bunkers. Club selection becomes important because of the
two-tiered green. |

406 Yards, Par 4
While a straight hole, the bunkers which dot both sides of the
fairway along with the woods on the right, put a premium on the
drive. Hitting from an elevated tee makes it play somewhat
shorter than 406 yards. The green, sloping to the right is
protected by bunkers and the woods beyond. |

367 Yards, Par 4
A narrow landing area may cause some golfers to substitute another
club for the drive. A grove of trees on the left side can
catch an errant drive as can bunkers on both sides of the fairway.
Two long, narrow bunkers are on each side of the green, while four
more guard the right front. It's a large green that slopes
toward the fairway. |

371 Yards, Par 4
This could be the most difficult driving hole on the course.
All uphill, it plays longer that the yardage indicates.
Bunkers are on both sides of the fairway and a steep slope on the
right should be avoided. A too long approach runs the risk of
bouncing out of bounds, while bunkers protect both sides of the
green. |

339 Yards, Par 4
A dogleg right, this hole usually calls for a long iron off the tee
to the top of a steep hill at the base of the dogleg. Brave
golfers can hit a driver, but out of bounds on the right and rough
at the left could spell disaster. The downhill second shot to
a severely sloping green will probably be a short iron. The
entrance to the right side of the green is both mounded and lined
with bunkers. |

351 Yards, Par 4
One of the most beautiful holes on the course, it is also on of the
most exciting. About 240 yards from the elevated tee, the
landing area is narrowed from 46 to less than 25 yards in width by a
water hazard on the left. Players may elect to use a long iron
off the tee to keep short of the water. Some pin placements
can result in large breaking putts once the golfer negotiates the
mounds and bunkers protecting the green. |

334 Yards, Par 4
A well placed drive on this uphill par four leaves a medium to short
iron to the elevated green. Heather lines both sides of the
fairway and bunkers dot the landing area. Several bunkers are
to the rear of the green and a deep one guards the left front. |

468 Yards, Par 5
While a relatively short par five, it is essential to hit a
well-placed drive. Hitting the narrow landing area from the
elevated tee can be difficult due to the tricky crosswinds which
prevail at times. A lateral water hazard is on the left, while
the bunkers on the right are at the bottom of a hill covered with
heather. Strong players may reach the green in two, but
bunkers protect the front. Caution must be taken with the
approach to keep the ball below the hole. |

204 Yards, Par 3
Longest of Indianwood's par threes, the hole traverses two valleys.
The large green offers several pin placements and is surrounded by
rough and a bunker at the left front. The green is cut
into a hill, dropping off to the left. |
| |
Dave Hill |
 |
377 Yards, Par 4
The tee shop should avoid the left side, where a small water hazard
sits about 220 yards from the tee. While the drive is
downhill, the approach is sharply uphill, adding one or two clubs
for length. Like many of Indianwood's greens, it is best to
keep the ball below the hole with the long approach shot. |

 |
524 Yards, Par 5
A strong tee shot reveals the rest of the hole from the top of the
hill. A water hazard with a 50-foot oak tree guards the right
while rough and bunkers line the left. The hole calls for an
accurate fairway wood. The approach is uphill to a green
severely sloping toward the fairway. |

404 Yards, Par 4
Cutting the corner is tempting on this par four, dogleg to the
right, but a mis-hit tee shot generally finds tall rough or a hidden
fairway bunker which could result in a bogey or worse. A good
tee shot will have a sometimes blind, 150-yard shot from a
relatively good lie. The green is built to receive a shot from
the center of the fairway. If the green is missed, it is
difficult to get up-and-down from the sides or back of this
saucer-like green with its deep flat bunkers on either side. |

188 Yards, Par 3
A tee shot to the left will catch a bunker or bound downhill, while
on the right is a 5,500 square foot bunker. Too long and the
ball can find the rough surrounding this two-level green.
Simply hitting the green is no guarantee of making par. |
| |
Bud Stevens |
 |
382 Yards, Par 4
This finishing hole is a dogleg right, featuring no less than 31
bunkers and a 24,000 square foot green. If the drive cuts the
corner, it will leave a relatively short approach. Once on the
green, the golfer is faced with some tricky breaks on the huge
putting surface. |
