for a memorable golf experience
Each of the course’s 18 holes were meticulously crafted by Gary Player to balance playability with strategy and challenge with stunning beauty. The result is a compelling test of golf that exhilarates, confounds, inspires and delights golfers of all abilities amidst the unspoiled beauty of the Princeton countryside.
At 145 yards, this short, picturesque par-3 requires an accurate tee shot to a guarded green. A creek that runs in front of and down the right side of the green will capture any wayward shots. The green is 33 paces deep and slopes from back to front, making club selection on this hole critical.
Two well-struck shots will reach this 480-yard uphill par-5 in two, but be cautious; trouble lurks everywhere. The tee shot must navigate two fairway bunkers on the left and one on the right. A meandering creek and waterfall guard the fairway from 150 yards in on the right, and fronts the entire green – which is 46 paces deep and slopes from back to front. Any shots above the hole will lead to very fast-breaking putts.
The 414-yard, par-4 hole requires pinpoint accuracy on the tee shot. The fairway bunker on the right is approximately 250 yards from the tee, with trees lining both sides posing an additional hazard. The green is well guarded by bunkers both front and back, with a collection area on the left. Birdies are rare and bogeys are plentiful.
A spectacular risk/reward finishing hole, the 515-yard, par-5 hole will favor long hitters who can carry their tee shot down the slope for a realistic chance at hitting the green in two. The pin position on this hole will determine how difficult it plays, as several devilish spots will challenge even the most skilled players. The green is 30 paces deep and slopes severely from back to front.
