Par 4
What a view! Wildlife, woods, water, hills and dales. From the blue tees, play your drive on this par-4 right of the "Big Oak" toward the right side of fairway — but get it over the water! Red tees too; play the ball on right side of fairway. The ball will run left. Hit your pitch shot to the right side of the green. Putt for your birdies or pars and make the turn.
Par 4
Long par-4, dogleg right, from the blues. Some golfers think it's easier from the blacks. Reds get a fair advantage. Once you get to the green, always stay below the hole! That allows putting up hill.
Par 4
Four strokes to par this hole. Curves and slope runs to the right. Don't hit the drive into the woods, nothing but Jail! Great colors in the Fall. Big hitters can try to drive the green. The rest of us hit driver or 3 wood and approach iron.
Par 3
Of the four par-3 holes, this hole is birdied most often. The flattest green on the course, it offers a great skin opportunity. Two bunkers on either side guard the green. There's also a false fronted bunker to the left-front of the green while a third bunker protects the front-left corner of the green, a well-placed shot sets up for an easy birdie. While a well-struck ball won't come near it, it does offer a confusing visual.
Par 5
This short par-5 starts this course's version of "Amen Corner." With out-of-bounds all the way down the left side, and bunkers and trees down the right, you're offered a great risk/reward. During the summer the rows of 80-foot oak trees and sprinkling of cherry trees have overhanging limbs just waiting for your shot to fly a little too high. Shot creativity is at a premium. If you stay clean you have a great birdie or par chance. However, any errant shot and you can be looking at bogie or worse. This hole often begins the separation of the herd!
Par 3
This is a great, but very challenging little par-3. Only 142 yards from the white tees, this elevated and bunkered green is tough to hit. Keep it on the green and you've got a birdie chance. If not, its imperative to get your next shot close because the green has a lot of deceiving breaks. Watch for swirling winds on this hole.
Par 5
Finishing the "Amen Corner" is another risk/reward 489-yard par-5. Big hitters can set up for an eagle opportunity with a big drive. However, there's a lot of trouble left and right, with Sycamore trees and odd terrain changes to deal with. Shorter hitters can still make birdie with three well-placed shots. This hole offers all kinds of shot selections as one would expect our number two-handicap hole to offer. But at all costs, keep the ball below the hole here — this is a wickedly fast green! Should you play too aggressively, a sure three-putt looms!
Par 4
While the 17th hole is only 364 yards from tee to green with a slight dogleg left approach, it's all uphill. So it plays more like 400 yards. With out of bounds on the left all the way down, and guarded by a huge willow tree left, this hole requires a strategically-struck tee shot. The green is well guarded with bunkers left and right. An aggressive second shot can set you up for a potential birdie – which will normally yield you a skin! Watch the general terrain here, it will help you read the breaks on the green.
Par 4
A dogleg right that can be played many ways. However in keeping with the tradition of Hantz Golf Club of Tecumseh – the axiom holds true: Keep the ball below the hole! It can't be said enough here. It's not that long of a hole (337 yards), but a bogie is staring you in the face if your ball gets above the hole. There isn't a flat spot on this green!
