Egret #1 – A good short par 4 here to open. A small tree fronting the fairway is not in play for most. A drive favoring the right side of the fairway will provide the best angle to approach this two-tiered green.

Egret #2 – A classic Carolinas par 4 framed by tall pines and native grasses, requires a good tee shot placed between the bunkers right and the water that runs down the left side of this hole. On the approach the green is guarded by bunkers left with a safe miss available to the right.

Egret #3 – From the tee of this par 5, a fairway bunker on the left is in play for longer hitters. The second shot needs to be played left to avoid the large natural waste bunker that runs down the right-hand side from 200 yards in. A precise approach to the green is required for proper placement on the two-tiered green.

Egret #4 – With water all down the right, the premium is on accuracy over length on the drive at this shorter par 4 though the fairway is wider than appears from the tee. A large, deep bunker will catch any approach shots short and right of the green.

Egret #5 – One of the signature par 3’s at Carolina National- club selection is critical here as the tee shot requires some carry over the wetlands and water that guard the front and right of this long and deep green. Left is the safe miss but often a challenging recovery.

Egret #6 – This mid to long par 4 often plays even longer as it is usually into the wind. Avoid the fairway bunkers and tall native grass down the right side. The approach is best shaped from right to left working in around the greenside bunker.

Egret #7 – This long par 3 requires a well struck long iron or hybrid hit with accuracy to split the bunkers guarding each side of the green, if you want a putt at birdie. Others will need to work hard scrambling for par here.

Egret #8 – A par 4 that doglegs left around a series of bunkers where the best placed tee shot is down the right. Some players may wish to lay back as driver for many may push them into the narrowing part of the fairway at 120 yards in. The approach is a blind shot into a two-tiered green with a bunker short right.

Egret #9 – A dramatic finish to the Egret nine with this reachable par 5. The safe play on the drive is to the right side of the fairway over the first bunker while the aggressive line plays slightly left of that trap. Just short of the green, group of tall pines and a small creek must be considered if going at the green in two. The preferred layup shot is to the fairway short and right of the creek though a left side fairway is available should you find yourself in that position. Several ridges running through the green will also require the player’s attention once on the surface. A wide range of scores are possible on this finishing hole.
