FERNLEY GOLF CLUB

Hole No.1 Cottonwood Mesa: Aim your tee shot down the middle of the fairway between the mound on the left and driving range on the right. Second shot can be a four to five club difference to a big green. Be aware of the pin placement because being on in two doesn't guarantee a par.

Hole No.2 Shotgun: Hit a long iron or fairway wood. A slight fade is the best shot between the back left bunker and front right bunker.

Hole No.3 Cactus Creek: Good hole to go after. Watch out for the dry creek running across the fairway. A smart play would be to hit an iron off the tee and lay up. Big hitters who go for the green have a good chance for birdie or eagle, however the green is well bunkered.

Hole No.4 Wild Flower: A tee shot of 225 to 250 yard put you in between the lake on the left and the mound on the right. You can reach the green in two if you hit two good shots, be aware of the large bunker on the left.

Hole No.5 Dry Lake: Tee shot should start out at the mound on the left with a slight fade. On your second shot, take enough club to carry the large bunker on the left. Big hitters going for the green could be swallowed up by the bunker in the front.

Hole No.6 Open Sights: Tee it up and let it fly, the fairway bunker on the right is your target. Be aware of the pin placement on your second shot to the two-tiered green. Being short won't hurt you, but long will be in the water.
