Hole #10 Description (Par 4): Slight dogleg left, out of bounds left, high grass and water to the right. A good, straight, conservative tee shot will make this hole easy to play. But stray from the straight and narrow, the strokes will add up.

Blue Tees: Aim between the enter of the fairway and the orange marking stake. 220 to 230 off the tee will leave you less than a wedge to the center of the green.

White Tees: Just right of the middle of the fairway gives you an excellent angle to the green. Distance is not a factor.

Red Tees: Aim slightly left of center for the best angle to the green.

Yellow and Orange Tees: Take dead aim on the center of the green, then swing easy to hit the ball dead center.

Hole #11 Description (Par 3): Golf architects call this type hole a "Redan", which is a rise defensive position. This position shows the player only the hazards of a direct attack and not what is behind the hazard.

Blue Tees: Risk/Reward. If you are a good bunker player and are good and straight with your 170-yard club, a direct attack is the choice. Faint of heart go left toward the portion of the green you see.

White Tees: Aim between the left edge of the bunker and the left edge of the green.

Red, Yellow, and Orange Tees: Aim to the biggest section of the green you see.

Hole #12 Description (Par 5): A slight double dogleg. Though reachable in two, there is no reward for such a risk.

Blue Tees: Aim at the mound past the left-side fairway bunker and fade the ball slightly. Cozy up the wetland edge with your second and go deep into the green on your third.

Silver and Green Tees: Plays the same as Blue Tee.

Yellow Tees: Tough choice: a 50-yard lay-up followed by a 120-yard shot over the wetlands to the green; or 150-yard tee shot over the trouble followed by short chip.

Orange Tees: You must put your smoothest swing on this shot to carry the wetlands (about 60 yards will do it). If the wetlands are too much to handle, play the Orange alternate tee on the green side of the wetlands (just follow the signs).

Lastly, you deserve a final treat. At the top of the hill behind #3 green, stop, take a breath, and look to your west. Enjoy the beauty that is Creekside.
