Signature Holes

Hole 5 – "The Edge"

Par 5 • 515 yards • Handicap 1

The most dramatic hole on the course plays along the edge of a cliff with Table Rock Lake below. A risk-reward par 5 where going for the green in two requires nerve and precision. The safe play is three shots, but where's the fun in that?

Hole 8 – "Bluff's Edge"

Par 4 • 410 yards • Handicap 3

A stunning par 4 with the entire right side guarded by a sheer cliff. The fairway slopes toward the edge, making the tee shot as nerve-wracking as it is beautiful. The green is tucked against the cliff with little room for error.

Hole 17 – "The Waterfall"

Par 4 • 420 yards • Handicap 2

Named for the small waterfall cascading down the cliff behind the green, this dramatic par 4 requires a precise tee shot between cliffs on both sides. The approach is to a narrow green with the backdrop of Table Rock Lake.
