Hole 1 - Par 4 A modest par 4 starting hole. A 3-wood may be your best club from the tee, but favor the left center of the fairway. Most of the trouble is around the green. A precise but short approach shot is critical. Hole 2 - Par 5 A potentially reachable par 5. Trouble awaits both right and left off the tee. Suggest a conservative approach when playing this hole since it’s a very fine example indeed of a risk/reward situation. Hole 3 - Par 4 A par 4 requires a demanding tee shot. A well-placed drive avoids a deep bunker to the right of the landing area. The left half of the fairway provides the best angle into the green. Be painfully aware of the bunker to the right of the green. Hole 4 - Par 3 A beautiful downhill par 3. The green is well-guarded by a bunker on the left and the stream in the front and along the entire right side. HINT: This hole plays one-half club shorter than the actual yardage. Hole 5 - Par 4 A par 4 that will leave a mark on your memory. Scores vary from 2 to 6 or more. Options are many. Play short and right off the tee for a mid-length second shot. Hit it left of the cottonwoods and you’ll have a short approach. Or drive the green. Hole 6 - Par 5 The longest, most difficult par 5 on Lewis & Clark. Because the fairway is protected on the left side by a meandering stream and on the right by a series of bunkers, accuracy is key to playing this hole. Oh, and the green is very small. Hole 7 - Par 3 A semi-blind par 3. The key is to take enough club to carry the bunker that protects and blinds the left half of the green. HINT: This hole will always play a little longer than it looks. Hole 8 - Par 4 Relax on this par 4. A longish, but straightforward fairway with no bunkers. Hit your second shot a very large, receptive green. Hole 9 - Par 4 A tricky par 4. It’s semi-blind on the tee and second shots. Use a long iron or fairway wood since positioning along the right half of the fairway. Club selection, always important, is critical for success here. Hole 10 - Par 4 A downhill, dogleg par 4. Your tee shot is key. Avoid a series of bunkers on the left and the stream down the right. Playing your second from the fairway is a must for hitting the green that is well protected by two bunkers. Hole 11 - Par 5 A deceptive par 5. The key to your approach shot or a successful second shot – if you’re going for the green in two – is to remember that the hole is longer than it appears because it plays slightly uphill. From the left half of the fairway is your best angle into the green. Hole 12 - Par 3 The shortest par 3, but one of the prettiest. The signature hole green is a bit larger than it appears from the tees. If you’re going to miss, short or to the right are the places to be. Hole 13 - Par 4 A long, naturally difficult par 4. A directional bunker 180 yards out off the back tee points the proper line for the tee shot. The green is large. Your ball could bounce in off the bank along the right side of the green. Hole 14 - Par 5 A long demanding par 5. Favor the left side off the tees. A conservative second shot is the recommendation because of the deep bunker and hillside protecting the landing area for your second shot. Hole 15 - Par 3 A little par 3 somewhat reminiscent of the “Postage Stamp” at Troon. Bunkers guard the entirety of the green so accuracy is most important from any tee. Hole 16 - Par 4 A beautiful par 4 for risk/reward aficionados. A conservative mindset off the tees may put you in the best position for a short club to the green. Under the proper conditions, you may be among the few who can drive this green. Hole 17 - Par 4 A difficult downhill par 4 dubbed “Hand Time” by the architects. Besides the golf challenge, it delivers the best overall view of the course. Drive down the left side of the fairway for your best view of the second shot. Hole 18 - Par 4 A demanding par 4 finish to a great round. Your tee shot must be in the fairway for a shot at the green protected well by bunkers and a stream across the front. “This is one of my favorites holes because it demands accuracy on each shot.” – Tom Weiskopf
