A straightforward opening par 4 with a welcoming fairway that gradually narrows as it approaches the green. Bunkers guard both sides of the putting surface, demanding accuracy on the approach shot.
A long par 5 that plays relatively straight with a wide fairway inviting aggressive play. The green sits elevated and is protected by bunkers on both sides, making the final approach the key challenge.
Pioneer Hills' signature par 4 and the course's most difficult hole, playing nearly 325 yards from the blue tees. Water hazards frame the left side of the fairway and threaten the green, leaving little margin for error.
A short par 3 with a narrow, well-bunkered green that demands accuracy over distance. The putting surface slopes significantly, making club selection and precise placement critical despite the modest yardage.
The course's longest hole and most stroke-challenging par 5, a demanding test that rewards position and patience. Hazards tighten around the green, which is best approached from the fairway's center.
A diminutive par 3 playing under 130 yards that belies its difficulty through a small, well-guarded green. Bunkers surround the putting surface on multiple sides, making this a precision target rather than a reachable short par 3.
A compact par 4 that plays shorter than most, offering an opportunity to attack despite its modest length. The fairway narrows significantly near the green, and bunkers on both sides tighten the landing area.

A short par 3 that varies significantly in difficulty depending on tee selection, ranging from just 90 to 182 yards. The green is compact and well-protected by bunkers, making precision essential regardless of distance.
One of the course's most demanding par 4s, sitting as the fourth-handicap hole with a strong test of shot-making. Water or hazards left require a disciplined tee shot, with the green presenting a challenging target from the fairway.
A moderate-length par 3 that plays to a receptive green without excessive hazard placement. The hole's challenge comes from its elevation and the need to find the right part of the putting surface for scoring position.
A formidable par 4 that stretches past 340 yards from the blue tees and ranks among the course's most difficult holes. Water and bunkers guard the approach, making both the tee shot and final approach critical.
A short par 3 under 160 yards with a small, deceptive green that tests precision over power. Bunkers frame the green closely, and the putting surface's contours demand accurate targeting.
A modestly-lengthed par 4 that presents an uphill fight to the green despite its shorter yardage. The fairway is relatively open, but the elevated green is well-bunkered on the approach.
A brief par 3 playing under 130 yards that offers a genuine scoring opportunity with its generous green. Despite the short distance, bunkers and hazards protect the putting surface, rewarding accurate execution.
The second-handicap hole and a strategic par 5 that demands thoughtful play through three shots. The fairway doglegs slightly, with hazards threatening both the second shot and final approach to a well-defended green.
A lengthy par 5 that offers birdie potential but requires solid execution throughout. The fairway is relatively generous off the tee, but the approach to the green tightens with hazards protecting the sides.
