Terradyne near Wichita offers world-class golf.
Hole 1 – Cattails
|
Club selection is essential on this unforgiving hole. A hazard lies short of the green while long and right can also be big trouble. The bail out shot is left in the large bunker.
|
 |
Blue: 185 yds
White: 177 yds
Gold: 136 yds
Red: 115 yds
Hole 2 – Fortitude
|
Try to avoid the baker’s dozen – the thirteen bunkers in the right rough. Laying up is the sensible play on this long hole. A water hazard runs from 60 yards out to the green. Hit lay-up shots to the 100-yard marker.
|
 |
Hole 3 – Terradyne
|
Terradyne’s Signature Hole is this tough par 3 with the lighthouse in the background. Club selection can be affected greatly by the pin position. There is not much room to miss long or left, but don’t leave your shot in the large bunker that guards the front of the green.
|
 |
Hole 4 – 3 Sisters
|
Hit a solid tee shot to get over the hazard. Shorter hitters might want to take their tee shot at the bridge; it’s a shorter carry. The “three sisters” bunkers catch many shots that run down the center of the fairway.
|
 |
Hole 5 – The Narrows
|
The smart play calls for a three wood or long iron off the tee. This narrow hole increases in difficulty with a strong, southerly wind. The green is no bargain either, so plan according to pin location. Chip shots that land in front run to the center.
|
 |
Hole 6 – The Burn
|
A tee shot toward the large tree in the background is the preferred line. Longer hitters can be bold and hit over the bunker to set up a short pitch shot. A small water hazard guards the green on this short dogleg right.
|
 |
Hole 7 – South Wind
|
A strong, southerly wind can make this hole very long. You must get your tee shot in the fairway. Water on the right captures many over-aggressive shots. Remember to swing low and smoothly when hitting into the wind.
|
 |
Hole 8 – Sumac
|
This tricky par 3 leaves little margin for error. Native grass surrounds the left and back of the green with a water hazard close to the right side. Par is a good score on this little gem.
|
 |
Hole 9 – Eminence
|
This tight par 5 allows you to use the widest part of the fairway if you stay short of the bunkers on the left. Longer tee shots should hug the right side of the fairway. The water hazard catches any shots too far right. Run-up approaches can yield good scores if played correctly.
|
 |
Hole 10 – Caution
|
This difficult opening hole demands a long tee shot down the right center of the fairway. Be careful not to hit long into the lateral hazard that borders the back of this slightly downhill green.
|
 |
Hole 11 – Windmill
|
This long, narrow par 5 is best played down the right side of the fairway towards the windmill. A water hazard lies 120 yards out on the right side of the fairway. The smart shot is to lay-up to the 150 marker.
|
 |
Hole 12 – Thickets
|
Beware of the thickets behind this tricky par 3. Pins located on the center or right of the green give very little margin for error. Shots over the green can leave a difficult up-and-down.
|
 |
Hole 13 – Chute
|
Aim the tee shot at the left edge of the large fairway bunker to a spot 100 – 150 yards from the green. From there, you might have a chance to see the pin, which is on a green well-hidden in the back corner of the golf course.
|
 |
Hole 14 – Entrapment
|
Two choices here: straight hitters can take it down the left side of the fairway, long hitters down the right, which has a larger margin for error. Check the pin location before you hit to this very deep green.
|
 |
Hole 15 – Neuk
|
This par 3 has a very narrow, but deep green. Shots that fly high can be pushed short by a strong wind from the south. Par is a good score on this hole.
|
 |
Hole 16 – Heathery Out
|
Don’t bite off more than you can chew here. A good shot must stay right of the fairway bunker that lies in the left rough. The approach is slightly downhill to a narrow green.
|
 |
Hole 17 – Temptation
|
The left side of the fairway is safe, but the hole narrows roughly 250 yards from the tee. You must carry the ball onto the green to reach this short par 5 in two. A lay-up shot to the left side of the fairway roughly 100 yards from the green gives you the most room.
|
 |
Hole 18 – Glory
|
A straight drive is required, but the right side opens up a little for missed shots. The perfect drive draws towards the apple trees and lands around 120 to 150 yards from the green. Try to leave yourself an uphill putt on this rolling green.
