A relatively straightforward opening par 4 that plays moderately uphill toward a well-bunkered green. The fairway is forgiving off the tee, but approach shots must navigate bunkers guarding both sides of the putting surface, making accuracy on the second shot critical.
A long par 5 that rewards aggressive play with an opportunity to reach in two, though water and hazards come into play for those attempting to get home quickly. The fairway opens up nicely off the tee, but tightens as it approaches the green, requiring thoughtful course management.
A short par 3 playing over relatively open terrain to a modest green. While hazard-light, the hole's brevity and direct nature demand accuracy, and the exposed green can be difficult to hold in windy conditions.
The course's most difficult hole, this par 4 features a tight, demanding layout where precision is rewarded and waywardness is punished. Strategic hazards frame both sides of the fairway and guard the green, making this one of Yahara Hills' sternest tests.
A strong par 5 with length that separates players, offering a genuine scoring opportunity for those who can manage the hazards effectively. The fairway geometry and strategic bunkering reward intelligent positioning over distance off the tee.
A mid-length par 4 where precision matters more than power, with bunkers and water positioned to catch errant shots both off the tee and on the approach. The narrow landing areas and well-guarded green demand careful club selection and accurate execution.
A relatively short par 4 that plays deceptively difficult due to strategic bunkering and a green that resists loose approach shots. The hole's compact length can tempt aggressive play, but penalty areas reward restraint and accuracy.
A mid-range par 3 played to an island green surrounded by hazards on all sides, leaving no room for wayward shots. The exposed target demands pure striking and makes club selection critical based on wind and conditions.
A solid par 4 that balances risk and reward with a fairway that opens at the tee before narrowing considerably near the green. Water and bunkers are positioned to challenge both conservative and aggressive approaches to the putting surface.
A substantial par 4 ranked fourth in difficulty, featuring a narrow corridor off the tee with hazards lurking along both sides. The approach shot is equally demanding, with the green well-protected and little margin for error on the scoring shot.
The course's longest par 3, this hole demands a full commitment over a significant carry with hazards surrounding the target. The isolated green offers no friendly bailout areas, making this a stern one-shot test that can be humbling in firm conditions.
A challenging par 4 with a driving zone that requires navigation of strategic bunkering and water hazards before approaching a well-guarded green. The hole's length and complexity place high demands on both power and precision.
A premium par 5 with length and strategic hazards positioned to make reaching in two a risk-reward proposition for most players. The fairway opens for bold tee shots, but the approach corridor tightens significantly as it approaches the green.
A mid-length par 4 that feels shorter than its yardage due to strategic design, rewarding well-struck tee shots with clear approaches to the green. Bunkers and water frame the landing area, making smart positioning essential for birdie opportunities.
A shorter par 4 that tests precision over distance, with bunkers and hazards strategically placed to challenge both aggressive and conservative lines. The compact design and well-bunkered green demand accuracy despite the hole's moderate length.
The second-most difficult hole on the course, this par 4 features a complex layout where water and bunkers force careful decision-making off the tee and on the approach. The fairway's geometry demands respect, and the green's defenses make birdie a genuine accomplishment.
A mid-length par 3 with a direct shot to a target that offers some width but is defended by strategically placed bunkers and hazards. The hole's straightforward nature can lull golfers into overconfidence, but the surrounding trouble punishes careless execution.
A fitting finish, this strong par 5 plays lengthy and challenging with strategic hazards framing the fairway and demanding intelligent layup positioning. The approach to the green requires navigating water and bunkers, making the closing hole a test of complete shot-making ability.
