The Course

The green, like many of the greens at Springfield, is crowned and can cause the ball to run off if you are not careful with your putt. Go straight for the pin. Losing it to the right is better than into the river on the left.
If you have hit safely on your first shot, the second shot will be easy. Push it right and it will still go out of bounds, and pull it left and you will end up on the 4th tee box or in some large trees.

Finally, the green itself is large, but it is protected on two sides by bunkers. If the first two shots are controlled, the third shot should be an easy 100 to 120 straight shot to the green.

If the ball is hit to the right, there is space between the fairway and the river, but landing there makes for a difficult second shot. On the right side of the fairway, at about 150 yards from the tee box, is guarded by a 60-foot tall fir tree. Like the oak, this tree is hard to clear and makes for many difficult second shots.

Once the tee shot is successful, the remainder of the approach is wide, flat fairway. The green is large and slopes to the right and backward. It has a large deep bunker protecting the left side that makes for difficult sand shots.
If your tee shot is successful, your troubles are not over. The green is protected by a 60-foot pine tree on the right and a bunker behind the green on the left. The green itself is large, but fast, and slopes toward the back. If the ball is not hit well it will run off and require another stroke before putting.
Once you have had a successful tee shot, your second shot is a lay up to an approach deck that is about 150 yards from an elevated green. A shot too far is in the wetlands, and will cost you a stroke. The third shot is to an elevated green, and will require adding 10 yards to your club selection.

The green has two bunkers protecting it, one on the left protects the approach and one on the right behind the green. The approach bunker is very deep and requires a lot of skill to get out of. The green itself is crowned in the front and provides an opportunity for the ball to run off into the bunker or on to the short grass.
The green slopes to the front and has a hill cutting across the middle of it. The front edge is crowned and makes for some difficult stopping in the summer. A hard putt could end up rolling back down the hill into the fairway.

The green has three bunkers surrounding it, one on both the left and right approach, and a third on the left behind the green. This green is large and mostly flat. The real problem with this green is the shape. It depends on the pin placement. Putting the ball could be difficult. The backside of the green is crowned and if the ball is hit to hard it will slide off.
The green is elevated and the second shot requires adding about 10 yards to your position so that you can reach the green. If your approach shot is short and hits the front of the green it could roll off and run 20 or 30 yards down a hill and make for a blind third shot.
The green slopes down toward the front, so if you overshoot the flag, the return putt could run off the green and into the water.

The green itself slopes forward toward the fairway. There are bunkers to the right, the left, and behind this green, so make your approach shot carefully.

The fairway opens up on the right side, so a little fade to the right won’t hurt you here.

The green is shallow, but wide, and plays a little longer than it looks because of a shallow valley in front of the green. The green is two tiered and slopes down toward the right, which is another good reason to approach from the right side of the fairway.
The green itself slopes forward toward the fairway. There are bunkers to the right, the left, and behind this green, so make your approach shot carefully.

Hitting the ball to far right can put you under trees that are difficult to recover from. Large oak trees protect the approach from the left side of the fairway. Although you can hit over them, it makes landing and staying on the green difficult.

The green itself is large, but slopes toward the fairway.

There is a large oak tree on the left side of the green that can put a shot hit to the left on the green, into the tall grass or into the water. Keep clear of the oak tree.

Hitting right is the safe shot. The green is large and for the most part flat. The ball can run off the front, as it slopes to the fairway.

The green is kidney shaped and is protected on the left by a large bunker. The green is crowned on three sides and the ball rolls off it easily. In addition, the green is harder than most of the greens and a hard shot will not sit and stay like on the other greens.

The left side of the approach has some tall grass and some tall trees. When hitting from the woman’s tee, or the white tee, a maple tree will be in play on the right side of the approach. The green is sloped toward the approach and is crowned.

There is one bunker, but it is behind the green and does not come into play unless you over-hit the green.

Once you are past the trees, the fairway is open as you approach the green. Along the left are a series of fence pillars that mark out of bounds. Along the right, the grass gets tall later in the year and makes a second shot from there difficult.

The green is a two-tiered green that slopes toward the fairway. On the right side is a deep bunker that is a difficult shot out.
