Playing in the SC Fourball tournament in two weeks. Never played the course, hoping someone can give me some insight about the course and anything I need to know about it. Thanks

The course looks to be in good shape, starts off with a par 5, then a short par 3, overall it has some dog legs and a combo of some short par 4's and some lengthy ones. The greens used to be a little faster on the scale. If you keep it in the fairway, you should be ok. Good luck.

Thanks Garnet. Are any blind approach shots/drives that we need to be worried about

Number 10 - just put out something straight around 215yds.

Can't see the green and surrounding pond at all from the tee.

And make sure you are below the flag on number 9. You don't want to putt downhill on that one.

1- don't go long left you're in the poND
2- more uphill than u think
3 - long iron or wood off tee, trouble left and right
4 - aim at left edge of bunker in front of green regardless of pin
5 - approach shot is half to one club extra
6 - ideal lone just over edge of trees on left, downhill approach so club down
7 - Bombs away
8 - back half of green is down grain any approach landing back there is off green
9 - DO NOT GO LEFT ON APPROACH
10 - ideal landing spot is right side of fairway, longer approach but flatter lie
11- play to center of green
12 - if pin behind left bunker play to pin yardage, hill behind bunker that will richochet ball
13 - 3 wood aim 10 yard right of bunker off tee
14 - bomb off tee, green slopes towards fairway
15- easier hole to birdie in 3 shots to green
16 - 4 to 5 iron off tee gets you 100 plus to green
17 - green slopes severely from left to right from teebox. and its much more downhill putting than u think
18 - for long hitter ideal line is thru V on pine trees right. if you bomb it straight away you're in the pond

Thanks Guys For all the input.

USC Petey got it pretty good. I was going to say his comment about 8. All par 5s are reachable if you want to be aggressive. #15 hit down right side. #16 the best angle is far right or far left. Green is too skinny straight on. Can drive it in pond on 18.
