| Most Difficult Hole |
 |
The par-4 485-yard 14th A reachable par 5 that will offer many eagle opportunities. A deep pot bunker guards the front of the green. The three-tiered green will offer some problems if your approach is too far from the pin.
2008: 0 eagles, 82 birdies, 262 pars, 60 bogeys, 5 double bogeys, 0 others. |
| Easiest hole |
 |
The par-5 544-yard 7th An accurate drive into the fairway is a must. Water and bunkers come into play and make the tee shot demanding. A long iron followed by a short iron shot will find an undulating green.
2008: 17 eagles, 215 birdies, 139 pars, 29 bogeys, 8 double bogeys and 1 other. |

| Course origins |
| Le Triomphe is one of a few Robert Trent Jones Jr. courses in the area. The forgiving fairways have some fairway bunkers alongside their borders and water hazards come into play on a few occasions. The club began hosting Nationwide Tour events in 1994. --Source: Golf Course Superintendents Assocation of America |
