A great start to an enjoyable round, the elevated tee box plays to a wide fairway and a generally flat putting surface. Swing what feels comfortable on the tee and an opening par on the scorecard is likely.

The 2nd is a dogleg left that has four large bunkers guarding any shortcuts through the turn. Take enough club from the tee box to avoid being blocked out by the mature oak tree on the corner.

A slightly uphill par 3, the 3rd is what some players describe as 'sneaky long' off the tee. Above the hole with a front pin placement leaves a very difficult birdie putt. It is not uncommon for balls to be putted off the surface coming down the hill.

The shortest of the 4's, this green can be reached from the tee by some players. The 4th is straightforward with little trouble off the fairway. A lightly contoured green sets up a tricky birdie putt in the early morning and late evening.

Played into a large green, this par 3 is a good test for accuracy. A deep bunker guards the front left corner of the green that will catch most errant shots and the slippery putting surface adds the final element of skill.

Likely the best opportunity to 'Grip it and rip it,' number 6 is a great driving hole. With few obstructions off the fairway, long off the tee will reward the player with an easy approach to a flat putting surface.

Reachable in two for some, the 7th is the first of three par 5's at Tamer Win. Take note of the lateral water hazard down the left side of the fairway. Approaches are played into a small green that sometimes causes strange bounces. Don't be over this green or you might be out of play.

Left off the tee here can certainly make this hole difficult. The fairway is guarded by trees on the left and the Superintendent's home overlooks the hole. This green is the only one not adhering to what locals call the '46 Rule'. The flat, quick putting surface is difficult to hold from the fairway. Putts are challenging to read and may spoil many opportunites to score low.

A great end to the front side and a preview of the back, number 9 is best played with draw down the right side of the fairway. Watch out for the ditch before the green if you aren't long enough off the tee, because going for it here might leave you feeling bitter heading into a difficult back nine. The approach plays into a medium sized green that slopes from back to front.

A deceptively long par 4, the 10th hole plays gently uphill most of the way. Great tee shots are commonly wasted by lazy second shots that miss this green. The large putting surface will have some wishing for a wedge instead of the flat stick as putts tend to be long.

A dogleg right, this hole plays harder than it reads on the scorecard. Left off the tee is out of play and right is in the trees requiring an 'S' shaped punch second. Most players will hit 5 wood or a long iron up the left side of the fairway as the corner is not visible from the teeing area.

Our signature hole, the 12th is a long par 4 with out of bounds stretching from tee to green. The long hitters have the best chance at birdie here, but finding the tree lined fairway is a must. The approach shot is played over a lake that prefaces a green guarded by bunkers on the right and left sides.

Put the flag in your sights here because the 13th is a great time to be accurate with a wedge. This short but sweet par 3 is a chance to redeem yourself after the difficult 12th.

Like most holes on the back nine, the trouble isn't the yardage, it's the trees. Straying left of the fairway will have many players searching for an exit. The green slopes from back to front and graciously accepts a high lofted shot.

The beginning of a tough trip back to the clubhouse, number 15 is a dogleg left. The fairway is lined by dense oaks and maples, so a driver off the tee is not always the best choice. It is wise to play this as a three shot par 5 considering the trouble that two deep bunkers may cause surrounding the green.

The longest par 3 here, the 16th hole plays into a two tiered green that slopes from back right to front left. The most difficult hole locations are found on the right side of this green. Short of this green is safe, but long is a nearly impossible par.

Although the longest of the par 5's, number 17 can be shortened simply by being in the fairway. A respectable tee shot followed by a good second and third approach will put most players in the center of this green. Trouble here is found off the fairway in the hazard on the left and stuck in the trees on the right. 500 yards through the woods can be a nightmare on the scorecard.

The finishing hole has ruined many good rounds over the years. Out of bounds threatens the entire right side and the offset tee box requires a well played tee shot to find the center of the fairway. Left will keep it in play, but don't get caught behind one of the well developed pines.
