Goose River's opening hole is a demanding par 5 that plays as the #1 handicap. The fairway is relatively open off the tee but requires two solid strikes to reach the green in regulation, with length being the primary test from all tee positions.
A short par 4 that offers birdie opportunity from the forward tees but plays significantly longer from the back markers. The compact nature of this hole makes accuracy off the tee critical to approach distance and scoring position.
A straightforward par 4 with minimal hazards and a receptive landing area. The hole's consistency across tee boxes makes it a fair test of solid striking without dramatic architectural features.
This par 4 ranks as the #4 handicap and presents a stout challenge, particularly from the Crockett tee. The length demands from the back markers combined with a narrow approach make this a pivotal hole on the front nine.
A reachable par 5 that ranks as the #3 handicap despite relatively modest yardage. The hole's design likely features strategic bunkering or water hazards that penalize aggressive play in the scoring zone.
The easiest hole on the course from a handicap perspective, this short par 4 offers a genuine scoring opportunity. Even from the longer tees it remains manageable, making it a respite before more difficult tests ahead.
A mid-length par 4 that plays fairly consistently across all tee boxes. This straightforward hole provides a brief reprieve in the round with standard hazard placement and fairway width.
A short par 3 that serves as an accessible one-shot hole. The modest yardage and elevated handicap ranking suggest a generous green complex that rewards solid iron play without excessive difficulty.
The finishing hole on the front nine is a par 3 of consistent length across tees. This final short hole on the outbound nine maintains steady difficulty to end the first loop.
The second-hardest hole on the course, this par 5 demands two powerful strikes followed by a precise approach. Length and strategic hazard placement make this back-nine opener a defining challenge to the inbound routing.
A strong par 4 with the #7 handicap rating reflecting substantial difficulty from the longer tees. The fairway likely narrows or tightens in the critical approach zone, making course management essential.
This par 4 plays significantly longer from the Crockett tee and ranks moderately difficult. The extended yardage from the back creates a different test than the more accessible forward positions.
A mid-length par 4 with balanced difficulty across the card. Consistent fairway width and standard hazard placement make this a straightforward test without excessive demand.
A manageable par 5 that ranks as the #6 handicap, suggesting hazard placement or green complexity that prevents it from playing as easily as yardage alone might indicate. The relatively short length from all tees offers birdie opportunity for those who navigate strategically.
A mid-range par 3 that maintains consistent yardage across tee positions. This one-shot hole provides a balanced test without significant length or hazard concern.
Playing as the #5 handicap, this par 4 is a significant test despite relatively standard yardage from forward tees. The dramatic yardage increase from the Crockett tee suggests this is one of the course's most demanding holes.
A short par 3 that plays with minimal variance across tees, offering an accessible scoring opportunity. The brevity of this penultimate hole provides balance before the closing par 4.
The finishing hole dramatically shifts in length from forward to back tees, playing nearly double from the Crockett position. This closer demands a strong finish with length becoming a defining characteristic for those playing from the back.
