#1 Magnolia
This long dogleg left par-5 is only reachable in two by the longest of hitters. A driver is not necessary off the tee – a 200 yard tee shot (depending on the tee box you play) will place you in good position and also takes a small hazard right of the fairway out of play. A solid second shot will allow a wedge approach to the green. The tendency on this hole is to under-club on the second shot, bringing the trees on the inside edge of the dogleg into play, especially if the flagstick is placed back left.

#2 Magnolia
A long par-4 with out of bounds to the left and a lateral hazard to the right make this the most demanding driving hole on the course. Find your yardage to the 150 yard marker and hit the club that will get you there. Anything inside of 150 yards will leave you with a downhill lie to an elevated green – a tough shot. Par is a great score on this hole!

#3 Magnolia
Straightforward par-3 with heart-shaped green. Bunker in front of green sees a lot of balls for two reasons: the hole is slightly uphill and often plays into the wind. If the hole location is tucked left, play to the center of the green. There have been more aces on this hole than any other par-3 at TimberCreek.

#4 Magnolia
This hole has been redesigned. Originally a drive down the slope would find a hazard to the left of the fairway. This hazard has been filled in and the fairway reshaped, allowing long drives to gather at the bottom of the slope and making this 600 yard par-5 reachable in two! #4 Magnolia is now one of TimberCreek’s finest and certainly most enjoyable holes.

#5 Magnolia
Club selection is everything! This par-3 is downhill and plays downwind to the prevailing wind. Another factor making club selection vital is the shallow green, which is only 25 paces from front to back. Pick the right club and a birdie is waiting for you!

#6 Magnolia
A two-tiered green measuring 52 yards deep is the defining characteristic of this par-4 hole. If the hole is located on the front tier, make sure you leave yourself short of the hole or you will have a tough two-putt. If the hole is located on the back tier, pay attention to the hole location chart – there is a 3-club difference in yardage from the front of the top tier to the back of the top tier.

#7 Magnolia
Course architect Earl Stone calls this “a rest hole; if you don’t make a par, you should be arrested”. A short, straight par 4 with no fairway bunkers, the landing area is wide open. A fun short hole.

#8 Magnolia
This par-4 plays much shorter if you can carry the hill short of the 150 yard marker. Anything short of the 150 yard marker can funnel back towards the tee and make your approach shot long and difficult. The perfect tee shot is a draw around the corner, leaving a short iron into the green. If the hole is located back left, club selection becomes paramount – short in the bunker leaves a difficult up and down and over the green is trouble as well.

#9 Magnolia
The longer you hit your drive, the more narrow the fairway becomes. The perfect tee shot is a slight fade matching the shape of the fairway. If you rely on the mounds left of the fairway to direct your ball back into play, you may end up with a hanging lie. The key to this hole is hitting your green approach shot from the fairway, even if you have to lay back with an fairway wood or iron off the tee.
