Redwood Canyon's opening hole is a demanding straightaway par 4 playing as the course's #1 handicap. The fairway is relatively open off the tee but narrows approaching the green, where bunkers and rough demand an accurate approach shot to a well-bunkered putting surface.

A moderate par 4 with a gentle dogleg character that rewards position off the tee. Water hazards frame the left side of the hole, requiring restraint and accuracy rather than length to find the fairway and set up a manageable approach.

A short par 3 with a straightforward green complex. This one-shotter offers a reprieve from the longer par 4s and serves as a good scoring opportunity from the tee.

A strategic par 5 ranking #3 in course difficulty with multiple routing options. The hole features a dramatic dogleg shape with hazards positioning the fairway in a narrow corridor—aggressive players must thread the needle while conservative players can work their way around the dogleg over three shots.

A mid-length par 3 with a well-defined green surrounded by protecting bunkers and rough. Wind exposure and the protected putting surface make club selection and precision the critical elements on this one-shotter.

A short par 4 offering genuine birdie potential from all tees. The narrow fairway requires an accurate drive, but a second shot into a relatively open green provides a scoring opportunity on one of the course's easier holes.

An attractive par 3 of moderate length with a picturesque setting. Bunkers frame the green complex strategically, and the hole's #9 handicap ranking reflects the precision needed to avoid trouble and find the putting surface.

The most generous par 4 on the course, playing short and offering the best birdie opportunity of any four-par hole. The wide fairway and open approach create a favorable risk-reward scenario for aggressive play.

A dramatic par 5 and the course's #5 handicap that commands respect through length and hazards. The fairway narrows at critical yardages, and water or hazards positioned throughout the routing force thoughtful decision-making on the approach.

The second-most difficult hole on the card, this par 4 features a challenging fairway configuration with strategic bunkering. Accuracy off the tee and a precise approach to a defended green are essential to avoid penalty strokes.

A generous short par 4 and the easiest hole at Redwood Canyon, providing a momentum-building opportunity. The straightforward design and accessible green make this one of the course's most scoreable holes from all tee positions.

A well-bunkered par 5 with a dogleg character that requires thoughtful route planning. Strategic positioning of hazards creates distinct playing corridors, rewarding bold but accurate shots while punishing poor decision-making.

A short but tricky par 3 with a small, well-protected green. Hazards surround the putting surface, and the diminutive target demands precision from the tee despite the modest yardage.

A shorter par 4 that plays trickier than its yardage suggests, with fairway constriction and greenside hazards commanding attention. The hole's moderate length belies the accuracy required to avoid trouble around the green complex.

A challenging par 4 ranked #4 in difficulty with a dogleg routing and strategic hazard placement. The fairway geometry and well-bunkered green demand both distance control and positional accuracy from the tee.

A mid-length par 3 with an island-green character or significant hazard protection. The moderate yardage masks the precision required, as the putting surface is well-defended and leaves little margin for error.

A scenic par 4 with moderate length and a slight dogleg that encourages controlled aggression off the tee. Strategic bunkering and the hole's positioning in the round make it a pivotal test of accuracy and course management.
