Par 4
371 yards
The first hole can help start a player’s round in the right direction. Big hitters can take on the challenge of carrying the pond and bunker down the right of this dogleg right par 4, leaving a very short wedge to a receptive and relatively generous green.
Par 4
395 yards
A difficult hole to navigate. A pond comes into play to the right of the fairway, forcing players to guide their shots to the left, often bringing the trees into play. The approach is to a well-guarded elevated green, with bunkers on both sides and behind the large green.
Par 5
530 yards
Trouble comes into play on both sides of this hole. It looks as if there is more room than a player might think on this straight Par 5. As on most holes at Indian Summer, there are bunkers left, right, and behind this green.
Par 3
153 yards
On this short par 3, players must hit a high soft shot with a wide bunker short and a pond that encircles most of the green.
Par 5
553 yards
One of the most challenging holes on the course is defending by sheer distance and intimidation. Tall trees and many bunkers on both sides guard the narrow fairway. Players who hit this fairway face a tricky layup guarded by the church pew bunkering to the right of the fairway and the grass bunkers to the left.
Par 4
425 yards
This medium-length dogleg left par 4 is a difficult hole for those new to the course. The tower for the power line is a great aiming point for big-hitting players who wish to shorten the hole considerably. There is a pond to the left of the well-bunkered green, so missing the green will leave a player with a difficult task.
Par 3
182 yards
This par 3 is more complex than it appears. The green is very large and has 3 tiers, though they are subtly distinct, so placing the ball on the same level as the pin is not a necessity.
Par 4
414 yards
This straightaway par 4 is anything but. With water right, bunkers, and O.B., the fairway looks much narrower than it is. A pronounced spine runs through the middle of the green, so finding the appropriate level is vital in preventing three putts.
Par 4
436 yards
A beautiful pond down the left side of the fairway that squeezes the landing area to only 30 yards at the 150-yard mark makes this a tough end to the back 9. The approach shot is to a vast and inviting green with many large undulations and bunkers guarding the right and back of the green.
Par 5
533 yards
The tenth hole is a double dogleg par 5. It isn’t the longest of par 5s, but what it lacks in length, it makes up for with deception. The tee shot must be accurately placed in the fairway so that players can lie up in the correct location. The green is slightly undulated to allow players to get a shot back.
Par 3
236 yards
This par 3 is the most challenging part of the course for most. Though the distance is the defender of this hole, it also has a deep, large bunker that is short and left of the green, which leaves players with a lengthy bunker shot if they find it.
Par 4
323 yards
After a difficult start to this back nine, the 12th hole offers players a chance to catch their breath and a good chance at a birdie. O.B. lines both sides, and a tree in the right center of the hole forces players to take on the narrow strip of fairway that slides around the large mounds of rough.
Par 4
395 yards
The thirteenth hole starts as a wide-open tee shot with a few bunkers left and a large tree to punish those who don’t find the fairway. The green is not usually receptive and slopes away from the bunker on the front left.
Par 3
143 yards
Probably the most memorable hole at Indian Summer, the fourteenth hole is as intimidating as the longest par 4s. Though only 131-164 yards from the men’s tees, this hole will test players’ concentration and commitment to their club selection and swing. The green is on the other side of a beautiful pond, waiting to collect a poorly struck approach.
Par 4
383 yards
Walking up to the tee on number fifteen, players will quickly notice the pond on the right and the tree line on the left. Players should hit enough club off the tee to clear the pond on the right while avoiding the trees on the left. The approach shot requires carrying over a deep front bunker, and water is short right of the green.
Par 4
412 yards
Probably the most challenging driving hole on the course, the sixteenth hole requires a tee shot to a narrow gap starting at the 150-yard marker. Those who miss the fairway must curve their approach shots around the trees. Two bunkers guard the sides of this large green, which slopes from back to front.
Par 5
412 yards
This short par five looks inviting off of the tee. The fairway is very narrow, and O.B. lurks just over the bunkers guarding the left; the right side is protected by the wooded area that surrounds a wetland. The green is slightly sloped back to front and has a lower shelf on the right side.
Par 4
410 yards
The finishing hole is a severe dogleg right par 4 with bunkers guarding the left and right and O.B. waiting for big hitters who take too much club off the tee. If the pin is front left, players will be able to run their approach into the green and get it close; back right, they’ll have to hit a very high approach in order to hold the upper portion of this green.
