Northgate Country Club Course Tour
Hole 1
| Hole 1 - Par 5 (9/5) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 552 | Blue – 525 | White – 501 | Green – 443 |
Hole Description
This medium length par 5 features out of bounds left and right off the tee. Reachable in two for longer hitters that avoid the fairway bunker but beware the series of sand traps short of the green that will test even the best short game.
Hole 2
| Hole 2 – Par 4 (13/9) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 394 | Blue – 373 | White – 344 | Green – 316 |
Hole Description
Out of bounds left and right again makes tee shot placement a priority. The raised two-tiered green is guarded on the left with deep bunkers short of the green and water long. From the fairway you will have a mid/short iron and a great scoring opportunity.
Hole 3
| Hole 3 – Par 4 (7/7) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 427 | Blue – 397 | White – 321 | Green – 278 |
Hole Description
Players will want to stay left of the fairway bunker off the tee for the best approach to the green. Approach shots short and left will surely find their way into the water below. The green is large making club selection important to avoid three putt range.
Hole 4
| Hole 4 – Par 3 (17/17) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 157 | Blue – 133 | White – 122 | Green – 108 |
Hole Description
This short par 3 features a heavily guarded, three-tiered, sloping green. The main focus is the water to the right but watch out for the sand long and left. Par from there is no easy task.
Hole 5
| Hole 5 – Par 4 (11/13) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 400 | Blue – 378 | White – 347 | Green – 275 |
Hole Description
Players may elect to go with less than driver on this tight par 4 to avoid the penalty area left and fairway bunker and out of bounds to the right. Golfers who find the fairway are left with a mid/short iron into an accessible two-tiered green guarded by sand on the left side.
Hole 6
| Hole 6 – Par 4 (5/3) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 442 | Blue – 408 | White – 372 | Green – 352 |
Hole Description
A well struck tee shot on this long dogleg left is a must. Out of bounds extends down the right-hand side and a large fairway bunker on the left punish any shots offline. The green is unguarded at the front to allow for roll up from any long iron and fairway wood approach shots.
Hole 7
| Hole 7 – Par 4 (1/11) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 423 | Blue – 403 | White – 356 | Green – 281 |
Hole Description
This signature par 4 makes a near 90-degree dogleg to the right with water guarding the entire right side and another penalty area through the fairway. A series of bunkers dissect the landing area giving players the option to play it safe up the left-hand side or cut the corner with a long, forced carry leaving just a short iron or wedge into the green that is again guarded by water right and bunkers left.
Hole 8
| Hole 8 – Par 3 (15/15) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 193 | Blue – 164 | White – 150 | Green – 119 |
Hole Description
An uphill par 3 featuring another two-tiered sloping green and penalty area to the left. Take an extra club to be sure to carry the sand short and right. 3 is a great score on this hole.
Hole 9
| Hole 9 – Par 5 (3/1) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 595 | Blue – 559 | White – 520 | Green – 481 |
Hole Description
This long par 5 requires accuracy off the tee with trouble left and right in the form of a penalty area, bunkers, and trees. A calculated layup is required to avoid the bunkering that cuts into the fairway on the left and right. An elevated green makes for a difficult up and down if you miss the green.
Hole 10
| Hole 10 – Par 5 (6/2) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 533 | Blue – 521 | White – 460 | Green – 445 |
Hole Description
This dogleg left features water all along the left side and trees line the right. Very seldom will you have a flat lie to go for this green in two that is guarded by water short and left and a bunker to the right. Lay ups should favor the left center leaving a short wedge and great scoring chance.
Hole 11
| Hole 11 – Par 3 (18/18) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 196 | Blue – 173 | White – 157 | Green – 115 |
Hole Description
Sand short and up the left side along with a drop off short and right of the green mean only well struck iron shots usually hit this green in regulation. Mounding around the green to the right can make for a difficult chip shot.
Hole 12
| Hole 12 – Par 4 (12/6) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 316 | Blue – 303 | White – 278 | Green – 222 |
Hole Description
A true risk/reward par 4. Long hitters may have a go at driving the green, but it is all carry with water extending down the entire left side and in front of the green. The smart play is laying up with a long/medium iron favoring the right side to avoid running out into the water. Stay below the hole on this one.
Hole 13
| Hole 13 – Par 4 (2/8) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 458 | Blue – 442 | White – 392 | Green – 303 |
Hole Description
The most demanding par 4 at Northgate from tee to green. Out of bounds left, penalty area right, and even tee shots up the right side of the fairway may not have a clear shot to the green. A long approach over water into a narrow green awaits.
Hole 14
| Hole 14 – Par 4 (10/10) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 376 | Blue – 366 | White – 344 | Green – 289 |
Hole Description
This short par 4 features a penalty area up the entire right side and trees left. Bunkers up the right can come in to play for long hitters. Players may want to take less than driver off the tee especially with a front pin requiring a high approach with a lot of spin.
Hole 15
| Hole 15 – Par 3 (16/16) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 216 | Blue – 174 | White – 148 | Green – 123 |
Hole Description
Another great par 3 featuring a small green guarded by bunkers on the left. Be careful not to miss too far right as balls can kick down and roll out of bounds. Middle of the green is the smart play.
Hole 16
| Hole 16 – Par 4 (8/12) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 404 | Blue – 395 | White – 380 | Green – 292 |
Hole Description
The tee shot is the focus at the 16th. This dogleg left is protected up the left by a stand of trees as well as out of bounds. A penalty area is in play for tee shots that run through the fairway to the right. Players finding the fairway should be left with a short iron and a great scoring opportunity.
Hole 17
| Hole 17 – Par 3 (14/14) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 196 | Blue – 196 | White – 141 | Green – 130 |
Hole Description
The final par 3 features a large two-tiered green with sand to the left and another penalty area to the right. Shots just right of the green may bound left and reach the putting surface. Club selection is important to avoid a lengthy two putt.
Hole 18
| Hole 18 – Par 5 (4/4) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Black – 549 | Blue – 537 | White – 522 | Green – 454 |
Hole Description
The closing hole at Northgate is a great dogleg right par 5. A collection of trees up the right-hand side will block most approach shots from the right side of the fairway. The green is guarded by water short and left and bunkers long and right.
