Hole Par Yards  
1 4 402

Great starting hole. A good drive is a must with water down the right side. Second shot over water to a green guarded by bunkers. Par is a good score.

2 4 405

Long par 4 that requires an accurate drive and then a mid-iron to an undulating green, protected by bunkers.

3 3 187

A long iron will be used on this par 3. Putting is at a premium when you reach the green. Par is a good score.

4 5 513

A good birdie chance on this medium-length par 5. Players may reach this hole in two shots. If not, a short pitch shot should yield many birdies.

5 4 426

One of the more difficult holes on the front nine, this uphill, long par 4 requires two very good shots. The green is one of the most undulating greens at Prestonwood. Par is a good score.

6 4 419

Dogleg right par 4. Tough driving hole. The second shot is to the smallest green on the course and requires an accurate mid-iron to hit.

7 5 561

This hole is a three-shot par 5 for most players. Premium is on the third shot to a large green that is guarded by water on the right.

8 3 168

Signature hole -- 168-yard par 3 to an island green. Good chance for a birdie or double bogey.

9 4 387

Dogleg right par 4 with sand and water down the entire right side of the hole. A 3-wood off the tee will leave you with a mid- to short-iron to a small green guarded by sand and water.

10 4 431

Long par 4 requires an accurate drive between two bunkers, then a mid- to long-iron to a green guarded by two bunkers.

11 4 450

The longest par 4 at 450 yards. A good drive, then a long-iron will be required to reach this green in two shots. The green is guarded by sand and water. Par is a good score.

12 4 429

Difficult straight-away par 4 with a creek running the entire length of the hole. The second shot must carry a bunker guarding the front of an undulating green.

13 4 401

Dogleg right with a lake guarding the right side of the hole. After a long-iron or fairway wood off the tee, the approach shot to the green could yield a birdie.

14 3 203

Long, uphill par 3 to an undulating green guarded by three bunkers. Club selection is crucial to have a good putt at birdie.

15 4 421

Beginning the home stretch with a long dogleg left. The fairway is guarded by a large bunker on the left and the green is well protected by bunkers and water. A well positioned second shot could yield a birdie.

16 4 413

Tough par 4 with water down the right side. After the drive, a mid-iron to a relatively flat green makes birdie a possibility.

17 5 505

A great driving hole favors the long hitters on this reachable par 5. The second shot must carry a creek to a green protected by large bunkers. Eagles are a possibility. Birdie is a must.

18 4 416

This dogleg right par 4 is a good finishing hole where birdie could win the tournament. After the drive avoids five fairway bunkers, the approach to the green with a mid-to short-iron must avoid three greenside bunkers.
