Canton, Michigan
While enjoying the East Nine you will find that our No. 3 par-5 looks like a tempting risk-reward opportunity, but it's a bit of a gamble. This hole, measuring 512 yards from the back and 438 from the front, has trees on the left-hand side for about 100 yards. To the right is a bunker that can trap your drive off the tee. A pond on the right of the two-tiered green as well as bunkers on both sides are possible threats on your approach. Our No. 5 is another of our fun par-3s, this one measuring 155 yards from the back and 96 yards from the front tees. Take a good look before you hit your ball at that pond on the right of the green that runs around the back. You'll be hitting from a 4-iron to a 9-iron off the tee, depending on how the wind is blowing on the day you play. The green has a lot of undulations besides. This hole looks easy, but many players come up short here. Another great par-3, the 7th hole, will test your length. It measures 223 yards from the back and 150 from the front. On the right, trees threaten and halfway to the undulating green there is a pond on the right and bunkers right and left. You have to hit a very straight ball here. Anything that you hit to the right goes in the water. Also watch out for placement on the green which is longer than it is wider.
