The 525 yard par 5 is a true starting hole. A non demanding hole allows the golfer to get off to a good start to their round. Although, the longer hitters will have to manage their tee shot to avoid the pond.
Hole #2 -Managing your tee shot is critical to set up a manageable approach shot to an elevated two-tiered green.
Hole #3 - An opportunistic tee shot for those who wish to cut the corner to set up an easier approach to a multi-tiered surface. Longer approach shots will face a sloped fairway (left to right) that will force the ball into the right greenside bunkers.
Hole #4 - A true risk reward hole from all tee levels. To reach the green in two, golfers must clear a large pond (290yds) from Black Tees. A quick flowing creek and pond guards the front of the green and bailout area for the golfers approach shot.
Hole #5 - A fairway that is guarded on the right side by bunkers and a large bunker on the left for those who wish to cut the corner, forces an accurate tee shot setting up an approach shot to an elevated green that has severe slope front and back.
Hole #6 - Ranked the second easiest hole at Belle Haven, many would disagree when the pin in placed in the front left of the green.
Hole #8 - Steve Danielson, Head Professional Emeritus says,"this is where the golf course truly starts. This hole begins a true advantage for the longer hitters the rest of the way".
Hole #9 - The front 9 closes with a long par 3. With out of bounds down the length of the left side and a deep greenside bunker on the right this hole truly intimidates golfers to produce an long accurate golf shot.
Hole #13 - Golfers will use the Masonic Temple as a target line in hopes of reaching the fairway on this long par 4. The left side of the fairway "power alley" can add extra yards to the drive if placed correctly.
Hole #16 - The last par 5 at Belle Haven. The hole has a narrow fairway bordered by water to the left and a row of birdie ending pot bunkers to the right, respectively. In total this hole has 16 bunkers in play.
