ELLA SHARP PARK BACK NINE

Hole #18

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 367 Gold: 336 Red: 313
Handicap: 10

The long hitter can hit the two bunkers in the fairway so let up a little. From the fairway, you do not want to be long on your second shot because the green will be blind. A good shot to the center of the green will give you a birdie chance regardless of the pin placement. 

ELLA SHARP PARK BACK NINE

Hole #17

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 406 Gold: 385 Red: 334
Handicap: 4

If you keep your tee shot down the right side of the fairway a medium distance second shot to the green is a possibility. Avoid the front right bunker by hitting long. If you need to miss the green, shoot to the left side for a great up-and-down. 

ELLA SHARP PARK BACK NINE

Hole #16

Par:3
Yardage: Blue: 153 Gold: 133 Red: 99
Handicap: 14

This straight forward par 3 has bunkers located on both the front right and left. What makes the hole difficult is the inability to see the putting surface from the tee box. Check your distances, make sure you have the right club, and hit down the center of the green. 

ELLA SHARP PARK BACK NINE

Hole #15

Par:5
Yardage: Blue: 460 Gold: 425 Red: 401
Handicap: 8

Large oaks line both the right and left side of this fairway making this a difficult shot off the tee. One of Ella Sharp Park's more severely sloped greens will cause the ball to role off the green in the front right of the green. The green is quite large so you can be aggressive on your shot leading into the green. Two putts on this green are always a reward. 

ELLA SHARP PARK BACK NINE

Hole #14

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 394 Gold: 363 Red: 337
Handicap: 2

With a good drive from the tee box on this straight par 5 an iron on your second shot is not out of the question. A large relatively flat green has birdie written all over it. 

ELLA SHARP PARK BACK NINE

Hole #13

Par:3
Yardage: Blue: 156 Gold: 143 Red: 130
Handicap: 16

From the tee-box you will only be able to see the top of the 15 foot long flag stick. The hole sits low in a bowl shaped depression. Take aim fro the large middle pine tree and make sure you have enough club to make the flag stick. 

ELLA SHARP PARK BACK NINE

Hole #12

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 394 Gold: 363 Red: 337
Handicap: 2

This par 4 is one of Jackson Counties' most difficult holes. With out-of-bounds on the left and the length of the right side lined with large oaks your tee-shot is of great importance. Your second shot will be lengthy leading up to the elevated severely sloped green. Simply hitting the green is a great accomplishment. A par on this hole would feel like a birdie any where else. 

ELLA SHARP PARK BACK NINE

Hole #11

Par:3
Yardage: Blue: 168 Gold: 151 Red: 135
Handicap: 12

Take one more club than you would on a hole of this length due to consistent local winds. Do not make the mistake of shooting at the flag stick. Take aim for the middle of the green which should give you a chance for a birdie. 

ELLA SHARP PARK BACK NINE

Hole #10

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 279 Gold: 257 Red: 229
Handicap: 18

With this drivable par 4, try to make sure your second shot is below the hole. With a severe slope on this small green don't give yourself a chance to three putt. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE

Hole #9

Par:5
Yardage: Blue: 517 Gold: 492 Red: 430
Handicap: 3

Now that you are just getting warmed up, take two good shots and you will get close to the green. A good approach approach shot can get your score back one before going into the back nine. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE

Hole #8

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 281 Gold: 226 Red: 206
Handicap: 9

Don't let the water on the right of the fairway intimidate you off the tee. Hit a long iron or a driver down the left hand side of the fairway. This should leave you a short approach to this reachable green. Once again, this newer hole, would dictate that you hit a short shot into the green letting it role up to the hole for a potential birdy. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE

Hole #7

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 303 Gold: 268 Red: 236
Handicap: 11

This severe right doglegged fairway requires a long iron off the tee. The green is a little firmer because it is a newer hole on the course. So, hit your second shot short of the flag and let the ball run up to the hole. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE

Hole #6

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 348 Gold: 310 Red: 269
Handicap: 7

This straight up par 4 with out of bounds on the left and two reachable bunkers in the fairway. A golfer opting to use the driver may not be a good choice. A well placed iron shot down the middle will leave about 130 yards to the green. Accuracy into the green will determine how well you score on the hole. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE

Hole #5

Par:3
Yardage: Blue: 175 Gold: 166 Red: 136
Handicap: 13

Don't let the short yardage of this par 3 deceive you. This hole plays much longer than the card indicates to the consistent West wind. Take one more club and swing-away at the hole. You may just get a birdie. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE 

Hole #4

Par:3
Yardage: Blue: 115 Gold: 102 Red: 88
Handicap: 17

This short uphill par 3 has a heavily bunkered front approach. One of the courses more traditional holes, gives a golfer with a well struck wedge or more a great birdie opportunity. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE

Hole #3

Par:5
Yardage: Blue: 506 Gold: 470 Red: 427
Handicap: 5

The first of the course's four par fives has a slight dog leg to the right. A good tee shot will allow you to reach the green in two. An aggressive second shot onto the large green can give you a chance at a great score for the hole. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE

Hole #3

Par:5
Yardage: Blue: 506 Gold: 470 Red: 427
Handicap: 5

The first of the course's four par fives has a slight dog leg to the right. A good tee shot will allow you to reach the green in two. An aggressive second shot onto the large green can give you a chance at a great score for the hole. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE

Hole #2

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 413 Gold: 350 Red: 319
Handicap: 1

The second hole of the park is by far the most demanding of the 18. This long hole requires a good first drive off the tee along the left side of the fairway. A good first shot will leave a second shot around 185 yards. A short third shot is a good bail out due to the bunker on the left and the water on the right. 

ELLA SHARP PARK FRONT NINE

Hole #1

Par:4
Yardage: Blue: 306 Gold: 284 Red: 244
Handicap: 15

The first hole of Ella Sharp Park's golf course is a great start for a round of 9 or 18 holes. Keeping a good drive down the right side of this fairway will provide a great look at the hole. The second shot into the green should be kept below the flag stick due the severe back-to-front slope.
