Blue Nine

Hole #1
Dogleg par five with OB on the left. The tee shot is important. The best landing area is between the center and the right side of the fairway. Attempts to cut the left corner could result in OB or tree interference. The green is large and slightly elevated. The yardage is 522.
Hole #2
It has five teeing areas and a deep green, so yardage can vary. Golfers face a sharp dogleg left, which is guarded by unseen bunkers along the left side of the fairway. Club selection is important. The right side of the fairway is guarded by a water course and a pond.
Hole #3
At 390 yards, this rebuilt hole is a toughie with deep woods left, a dogleg in the landing area and lots of water along the entire right side. The green is narrow and deep, and for some, a 2-3 club distance from front to back of the green. A pond and bunker guard the right side of the three tier green.
Hole #4
A slight dogleg right at 396 yards. Tee shots need to be in the middle of the fairway or slightly left to get a clear shot at the green guarded by a bunker.
Hole #5
At 191 yards, this is a straightaway par three with a deep green. Club selection is important. Be careful of overhanging trees on left side.
Hole #6
A 312 yard par four straight away. Keep it straight and you will be fine. Moderate rough and small trees right, wooded on the left.
Hole #7
At 434 yards, this is Stanley's most famous hole at present. A long straight tee shot is a must. Big trouble left all the way to the green. Second shot must clear a brook and aviod a pond on right side of green. Some tree and water problems on the second shot if you miss the fairway to the right, deep green.
Hole #8
A 147 yard par three. Tee and Pin placements offer several setup options. A pond on the right side guards a two-tier green.
Hole #9
At 552 yards, a dogleg par five with OB right, woods along the left side, and a narrow fairway. The second shot is an uphill dogleg left. Trying to cut the corner often results in trouble. A bunker and slight mound guard left side of the green.
