Overview
In just his second solo design, Gil Hanse’s Applebrook aims to provide a challenge with options for playability. With wide fairways and green complexes both subtle and intricate, Hanse allows for players of all levels the opportunity to try and put up a score. While bunkers are plentiful and varied, they do not overwhelm the golfer, and the water’s presence on nearly half the holes provides for manageable forced carries. The course is not long in comparison to some of Hanse’s championship renovations, and the wide fairways allow for aggressive tee balls. Accuracy is rewarded equally to avoid the 40-plus greenside bunkers and to deal with difficult hole locations.

“Applebrook is an early effort from Gil Hanse and a good one. Width allows for options off the tee and angles matter here as the greens have some fall offs. Great terrain for a walking course with plenty of interest for golf holes that would be fun to play regularly. Good variety of hole lengths and strategies."
