Hole 1: Par 4     view details
  • 3,200 sq. ft. green.
  • Gold - 340 yards.
  • Blue - 330 yards.
  • White - 315 yards.
  • Red - 269 yards.
  • Black - 161 yards.
Hole 1 sees the fairway drop about 120 ft. immediately from the tee, then slowly rise back up to the green as it curves to the right. Between a rough on the left and trees on the right, the fairway narrows to the 100-yd. marker before expanding to the green. 

Long hitters must decide if they want to challenge the trees or hit something more accurate. The second shot is uphill with a premium on distance control. A short shot will land on the apron to roll back down the fairway, while a long shot promises a tough downhill chip from long grass. The green is relatively flat on the right but the left side slopes from upper right to lower left.

Hole 2: Par 5     VIEW DETAILS
  • 3,100 sq. ft. green.
  • Gold - 460 yards.
  • Blue - 445 yards.
  • White - 425 yards.
  • Red - 390 yards.
  • Black - 210 yards.
Hole 2 is your best opportunity for a birdie or maybe an eagle. The fairway drops 100 ft. from the tee, then levels out to the creek 170 yds. from the green. 
Long hitters may elect to hit over the creek to leave less than 150 yds. to the green. Front bunkers left and right guard the green, which slopes severely from left to right. An approach shot must not be long because of a large rock outcrop behind the green that could send your ball anywhere.

hole 3: Par 3     VIEW DETAILS
  • 3,200 sq. ft. green.
  • Gold - 160 yards.
  • Blue - 150 yards.
  • White - 140 yards.
  • Red - 130 yards.
  • Black - 78 yards.
This uphill Par 3 requires an extra club to reach the green. A large fir tree on the left side of the fairway might intimidate players who slice the ball. The front of the green is open but a bunker on the back left catches many long shots. The green slopes substantially from back to front, making shots from the bunker treacherous. A good tee shot will leave the ball under the hole, maybe even on the apron if the pin is in the front.

HOLE 4: Par 5     VIEW DETAILS
  • 3,300 sq. ft. green.
  • Gold - 480 yards.
  • Blue - 470 yards.
  • White - 425 yards.
  • Red - 363 yards.
  • Black - 240 yards.
This challenging Par 5, the signature hole at Pender Harbour, requires careful planning to negotiate hills and a dog-leg. Most players hit the first plateau just over the cart path, but longer hitters may try to clear the hill for a birdie opportunity (from the blue tee, this strategy requires an equivalent drive of 300 yds.!). 

The second shot from the plateau should be 120-150 yds. over the hill to the next plateau. Anything longer ends in a downhill lie in the rough. Align your second shot with the dogleg to avoid the trees. From the second plateau, it is about a 130-yd. shot to the green 80 ft. below. Bunkers guard the green to the right while rough to the left leaves a delicate chip to a green that runs away to the right.

HOLE 5: Par 4     VIEW DETAILS
  • 3,300 sq. ft. green.
  • Gold - 365 yards.
  • Blue - 360 yards.
  • White - 350 yards.
  • Red - 303 yards.
  • Black - 182 yards.
This Par 4 is the first of the flatter holes through the valley, playing slightly uphill until the 150-yd. marker, then slightly downhill to the green. 

Right-side fairway bunkers suggest your tee shot should be aimed toward the tree on the left of the fairway. 

The second shot is onto a narrow green , which has a large ridge running from left to right across the green.

HOLE 6: Par 3     VIEW DETAILS
  • 3,700 sq. ft. green.
  • Gold - 195 yards.
  • Blue - 185 yards.
  • White - 165 yards.
  • Red - 150 yards.
  • Black - 100 yards
This beautiful Par 3 hole has a creek running in front of the tee and the full length of the right side. In the fall spawning salmon fill the creek.

Trees along the left of the hole make it difficult for players who slice the ball. The ideal tee shot is a high soft fade as the green slopes severely from back right to front left. 

Bunkers protect the left side, while shots to the right require a chip from the right over mounds to the green that runs away from you.

HOLE 7: Par 4     VIEW DETAILS
  • 3,300 sq. ft. green.
  • Gold - 370 yards.
  • Blue - 360 yards.
  • White - 330 yards.
  • Red - 315 yards.
  • Black - 189 yards.
This is probably the easiest hole on the course, a slightly downhill Par 4 is open except for the trees down the right side. 

A good drive to the center of the fairway will leave a clear shot to a green that slopes from right to left. Bunkers to the right and grassy mounds on the left are the only obstacles. ​

HOLE 8: Par 4     VIEW DETAILS
  • 4,000 sq. ft. green.
  • Gold - 345 yards.
  • Blue - 335 yards.
  • White - 325 yards.
  • Red - 289 yards.
  • Black - 173 yards.
A deep creek running across the fairway 80 yds. from the green requires that the tee shot be well placed to have a good approach shot. Long drivers can hit into the creek, while short hitters may have to layup on their second shot to clear the creek.

The approach shot is uphill to a relatively flat green protected by a steep-faced bunker on the front right and a flat bunker on the left. The green appears flat but subtle breaks make putting a challenge.

Hole 9: Par 4     VIEW DETAILS
  • 4,800 sq. ft. green.
  • Gold - 380 yards.
  • Blue - 370 yards.
  • White - 360 yards.
  • Red - 295 yards.
  • Black - 180 yards.
Use a periscope to ensure the path is clear before hitting this blind tee shot on this ideal finishing hole. Left center is the best shot because the fairway widens as you get nearer the green. 

Players who slice the ball should be aware of the large pond on the right side. The approach shot is substantially uphill to a green that is 40 yds. deep. 
It is relatively flat, but subtle undulations demand that you pay close attention to the pin location.
