The Sycamore Tour ProTips:

Hole 1
    This picturesque Par 4 drops dramatically in elevation from tee to green. Keeping the ball below the hole is of utmost importance on this severely sloping green. Anything above the pin will have a slick, downhill putt.

Hole 2
    A three shot Par 5 with a slight dogleg right. Keep to the left side of the fairway to set up your short approach to the green. Be wary of pond protecting the front right portion of the green. Bail out area is to the left side.

Hole 3
    Errant tee shots to right will find a watery grave or a greenside bunker that extends around the back of the green. Aim for the left side of this long, narrow green.

Hole 4
    Cutting the corner of this dogleg right can be dangerous. Left side of fairway is the best location to attack the pin. Huge green is guarded by a deep-faced bunker in front and larger bunker behind.

Hole 5
    Place tee shot right of the fairway bunkers for best position on this dogleg left Par 5. Long hitters have a shot to reach in two, but the smart play is to lay up in the valley. Avoid deep-faced bunker short of this elevated green.

Hole 6
    Don't hit it left! A front greenside bunker and thick woods will add up to certain disaster. Bail out right and take a par on this tough Par 3 hole.

Hole 7
    This medium length Par 4 has plenty of room off the tee. Mistakes on this hole are made left of the green where a deep, troublesome bunker will test anyone's sand game.

Hole 8
    A short but dangerous Par 4 with water protecting the entire right side of the hole. Your drive should favor the left side of the fairway and should leave a short iron approach shot. The green slopes left to right, towards the water. A good birdie opportunity.

Hole 9
    Long hitters could drive this green, but the smart play is to hit the fairway and avoid the long bunker bordering the left side of the hole. A sand or pitching wedge into this long green should yield some birdies.

Hole 10
    Pin placement and wind direction dictate club selection on this long, narrow green. This two-tiered green has a ridge in the middle that slopes down to the back of the green. Par is a good score here.

Hole 11
    This short Par 4 requires some accuracy off the tee. Fairway bunker and water on the right come into play, so favor the left center of the fairway. Any long approach shots will find a difficult bunker that wraps around the right side of this narrow green. Subtle undulations make this green difficult to putt.

Hole 12
    The only trouble on this hole is left off the tee; so drive it down the right center of the fairway. The putting surface slopes a little from back to front and should allow for some birdie chances. Two pot bunkers guard the front right portion of the green. Avoid hitting it over the green.

Hole 13
    Trouble on this hole is again left off the tee, so aim your drive to the right center of the fairway and avoid the first fairway bunker. Small bunkers are positioned short right and back right of the green. This green is one of the easiest, so be aggressive with your putting.

Hole 14
    Big hitters can reach this short, straightaway Par 5 in two, but trees lining both sides of the fairway present danger for stray shots. Be careful of left side bunker lining this long, narrow green. The green slopes slightly from the back to the front right. Good birdie opportunity.

Hole 15
    The toughest hole on the golf course requires a long, accurate drive. Any drive left is trouble and anything right leaves a blind shot with a fairway wood. A mid to long iron is needed to reach this elevated green that has a severe slope from back to front.

Hole 16
    This short Par 3 is well protected on the right by two bunkers, so play to the middle of this long, undulation green. Bail out area is on the left.

Hole 17
    Aim for the fairway bunker in the distance. A lone pond guards the left side short of the green. The last good birdie opportunity.

Hole 18
    Great finishing hole that doglegs left and demands length off the tee. An errant drive left will find trees and a sure bogey, so hitting the fairway is critical. Take enough club to carry the creek that borders the front and left side of green.
