What's new: The tee complex on No. 2 has been rebuilt. The teeing area was greatly expanded and a new tee was built behind the No. 1 green. Plus, a 4,000-square-foot putting green was added near the driving range and Bob Campbell has joined the staff as a teaching pro.

What's cool: Several elevated tees that offer great views. No. 13, a 532-yard (from the white tees) par-5, features a landing area off the tee that's about 15 yards wide, with a grassy hill and out of bounds to the left and a cliff to the right. The signature hole, No. 2, is a pesky, 270-yard, dogleg left with a creek running down the left side of the fairway and in front of the green.
