The middle stretch of par 4s (6, 7, 11, and 12) get the most attention while the back-to-back par 3s (9 and 10) add to a fantastic string of holes in the middle of the round. If you have a slice, you better work that out on the driving range because the opening eight holes all feature o.b. to the right and can quickly wreck your scorecard.
