Best Scoring Stretch
Coming off of a difficult
three-hole stretch
on the front nine,
holes five, six, seven
and eight, will provide
a respite for players
and a chance to gain
momentum going into
the back nine. Fuller
says “The holes are
realtively easy, a little
bit shorter, especially
with this dry weather,
and greens are pretty
accessible.” It will be
important for players
to capitalize on the
opportunities to score
low on these holes before
tackling the difficulty
of the back nine.

if a player gets caught up in one of the hole’s many bunkers.
Below: The scenic fifth hole will provide a player the opportunity to
score low and enjoy the view!
Most Difficult
Stretch
Fuller says, “Holes 16
and 17 will prove to
be the hardest holes
on the course, with
one of the hardest
holes [in NY State]
on 16 and then 17
is a good par-3, a
long one, protected
by bunkers on the
lefthand side.” Bob
also mentions holes
two, three and four
provide somewhat
of a challenge. More
specifically, he says
“The holes are well
bunkered, and four is
a good, long par-4;
the long ball is key.”
