Hole 1

Par: 4

Red: 352 yards

White: 363 yards

Blue: 375 yards

A tree-lined fairway makes this a scenic but difficult starting hole.

Playing tip:
Use a 3 wood or iron to the middle or left side of the fairway to leave an open shot to the bunkered green.

Hole 2

Par: 5

Red: 431 yards

White: 499 yards

Blue: 517 yards

A straightaway par-5. Avoid the road on the left (out of bounds) and the fairway traps (223 yd. on the left and 233 on the right).

Playing tip:
Straight down the middle with a driver and place your second shot at the top of the hill or past the down slope. This is a large green, so watch for pin placement.

Hole 3

Par: 3

Red: 148 yards

White: 175 yards

Blue: 162 yards

One of our signature holes, this plays shorter than the yardage because of the elevation change.

Playing tip:
use less club and play for the center of the green. The only place to avoid trouble is short.

Hole 4

Par: 4

Red: 330 yards

White: 340 yards

Blue: 353 yards

A slight dogleg left, watch the trees, river and out of bounds on the left and trees on the right.

Playing tip:
play a slight draw off the tee to set up for a short iron to the green. Beware of the moguls to the right of the green.

Hole 5

Par: 4

Red: 317 yards

White: 325 yards

Blue: 334 yards

A rolling fairway and a severely sloping green make for some interesting shots on this hole.

Playing tip:
Playing tip: Play for the left center of the fairway to avoid a large tree on the right and an angel-shaped bunker. (222 yd.)

Hole 6

Par: 4

Red: 319 yards

White: 345 yards

Blue: 428 yards

Deceptive from the tee, this plays as a slight dogleg right. From the blue tees the hole takes on a different perspective.

Playing tip:
Keep it left center to avoid trees on the right but not too far because of a fairway bunker on the left. (215 yd.)

Hole 7

Par: 4

Red: 349 yards

White: 365 yards

Blue: 381 yards

A straightaway hole.

Playing tip:
Play for the left center of the fairway and avoid the lake (250 yd.) on the right side.

Hole 8

Par: 3

Red: 110 yards

White: 122 yards

Blue: 137 yards

Our easiest par 3 plays shorter than the yardage because of the slope.

Playing tip:
Don’t be long here. It can leave an extremely difficult shot back up a hill to the green.

Hole 9

Par: 4

Red: 397 yards

White: 403 yards

Blue: 409 yards

The most difficult hole on the front actually plays longer than the yardage because you are hitting to an elevated fairway.

Playing tip:
Stay left of the poles on the right with your drive. A straight 2nd shot is a premium to elude the pond on the left and woods on the right.

Hole 10

Par: 4

Red: 349 yards

White: 357 yards

Blue: 364 yards

This is a tight driving hole with trees lining both sides of the fairway.

Playing tip:
use your straightest club to place your tee shot just left of the 150 yd. rock. Too far left will block your 2nd shot to the green.

Hole 11

Par: 4

Red: 357 yards

White: 370 yards

Blue: 382 yards

A straightaway hole through a tree-lined fairway.

Playing tip:
Playing tip: play a slight fade starting down the left side of the fairway to avoid the large tree on the right.

Hole 12

Par: 4

Red: 404 yards

White: 412 yards

Blue: 421 yards

Voted the hardest hole in a five county region this hole lives up to its reputation. This begins the most scenic portion of the course and what some call “death valley.”

Playing tip:
a long drive down the right side towards the 150 yd. rock is necessary to set up your second shot down a valley to the green. Accuracy is important on your second shot. Balls have a tendency to kick to the right and land in a creek along the right side.

Hole 13

Par: 3

Red: 130 yards

White: 138 yards

Blue: 147 yards

This hole can be more of a challenge if the pin is set on the left side of the green. Beware of the creek running along the entire left side.

Playing tip:
Watch for wind conditions that can affect a shot above the treetops and the large catalpa tree guarding the right side of the green.

Hole 14

Par: 4

Red: 187 yards

White: 319 yards

Blue: 339 yards

An intimidating shot off the tee that sits alongside the Olentangy River, this hole is not as bad as it looks. Your tee shot must have enough distance to give you a shot to the green that can be blocked out by a stand of trees and a creek on the right.

Playing tip:
play a fade with a driver or 3 wood starting down the left side, but watch for the large tree on the left. Don’t be short of the green with your second shot or you will end up in a creek right in front of the green.

Hole 15

Par: 5

Red: 353 yards

White: 444 yards

Blue: 453 yards

This hole plays through a narrow shoot of trees from an elevated tee down to a valley and a dogleg to the right. This is reachable in two if your drive is in the right spot.

Playing tip:
Play a fade or short drive from the tee to give yourself a shot through the gap. Don’t be long or right off the tee, and watch your shot to the green because the river lurks along the left side.

Hole 16

Par: 3

Red: 181 yards

White: 192 yards

Blue: 203 yards

A straightaway hole with a severely sloping green.

Playing tip:
Don’t be above the hole. Putting on this green can be treacherous.

Hole 17

Par: 4

Red: 293 yards

White: 305 yards

Blue: 318 yards

Two lakes and a dogleg left make this an interesting hole. Both lakes are reachable from the tee. A long drive of 241 yd. plus can clear the first lake if you want to gamble.

Playing tip:Two choices:
1. Play a driver or 3 wood off the tee starting down the right side and draw the ball back to the center of the fairway.
2. Lay up with a short iron to the right of the first lake (169 yd.) and hit another iron over the lake to the green.

Hole 18

Par: 4

Red: 366 yards

White: 410 yards

Blue: 420 yards

A strong finishing hole ends your golfing experience at Kings Mill. A long and demanding par-4 requires distance and accuracy. The lake (228 yd.) is reachable from the tee.

Playing tip:
Hit driver off the tee aiming just to the left of the lake and draw the ball back to the narrow fairway.
