Catedrais Beach — Hole 2: Par 4

By Deprecated: Function the_author_posts_link was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.1.0 with no alternative available. in /var/web/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6085 • Updated: Jun 10th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

From the front box with a strong tailwind, you can drive pretty close to the green here and have a chip at eagle.  Big hitters using Streaks may occasionally make it on this green. Otherwise, you’re playing to the fairway where it narrows…towards the left of this area is where you want to land your […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 3: Par 3

By • Updated: May 5th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

Here’s a 3-hybrid ace from the back box. There’s a new box here to the back-right from about 260 yards. A second new box is back-right on top of the hill from 270 yards, bringing elevation into play. Another new tee box is to the left in the sand area from about 180 yards.


Catedrais Beach — Hole 4: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 13th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

From all boxes, you can hit up on top of the hill…anything from a high-teed 10.5 driver to a more lofted wood.  Distance off the tee helps as you may still have a driver into the green, but more important is accuracy…falling down to the left is death.  Take your time and stick the center […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 5: Par 4

By • Updated: May 5th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

The addition of a more elevated hump in the middle of the main hill guarding the green added some challenge here, so you might have to work around it, but the concept is still the same.  From the back boxes, it’s best to high-tee a 5W or 6W and aim right at the green by […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 6: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 13th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

Here’s another hole where the best play is to high tee the highest lofted club you can carry to the green and blast it right over the top.  It’s usually a high 5W or 6W, but tough longer setups might call for a high 4W. Here’s another option — let’s say you have a setup […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 7: Par 4

By • Updated: May 5th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

With this hole, you do need to shoot a wood through the gap with bite or backspin, and you may have to apply some curve based on the setup.  Early on you’ll notice that you may be carrying long because it’s slightly downhill, so tend to play a half-club shorter and towards the center of […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 8: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 20th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

This par 3 has a tee box across the water, and a couple more off to the right. From the front-right box, here’s an ace to a center pin. From the back-right box, this 5-hybrid also finds the cup. One new box is back-left a bit to an up 4 green from about 220 yards…here’s […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 9: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 20th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

From the center box, tee it high with a 5W or 6W and carry over at the green…this high-teed 5-wood goes right over the top for the super albatross! From the back box, you can carry a high 3W or 4W over the top as well at the green…here’s a nice high-teed 3W over the […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 10: Par 3

By • Updated: May 5th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

As with all tiered greens, this one plays easier with the pin on the bottom tier…here’s an example ace.  Sometimes it gets trickier with a tougher wind and pin placement because there is the threat of water all around…here’s a great 7-hybrid cut into a right pin. One new box here is off to the […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 11: Par 5

By • Updated: May 5th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

This hole is sometimes drivable with the right combo of tee box, wind and positioning…from the center box with a high tee, this driver cuts its way through for the super albatross!  Here’s another from a different angle.  Even if you’re not sure you can get there but think you can get close, it can […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 12: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 21st, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

Here’s a tough hole, especially with a cross-wind, because the green is so narrow. A tricky, not-so-subtle challenge here is that the green slopes right 5!  Sometimes you’ll get a left pin with a strong wind blowing right and it’s almost unfair.  That might force you to turn right one and play a C2 cut […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 13: Par 3

By • Updated: May 5th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

You can get some downright nasty setups here, because the wind is strong, you have to play a lofted club, and the green is tiered.  It’s great to get creative with low tees and cut shots to fight that wind and practice your shot-making. From the left and back boxes, it’s a bit easier because […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 14: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 27th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

Most times the best shot here is to blast as far as you can down the left fairway, either a B2 hammer or a curve shot.  In the right conditions, you’ll carry far enough to have a clear shot at the pin.  Sometimes you’ll have to play a small cut into the green still, but […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 15: Par 4

By • Updated: May 5th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

Even though the green slopes downhill, it’s still a nice option to high-tee a wood and go straight at the green, compensating for distance.  This is usually still easier than trying to curve left or right around the hill into the green.  Here’s a high-teed 5W that finds a back-left pin. Something else to keep […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 16: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 21st, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

You’ll get a lot of practice shaping shots here, as most setups call for you to curve around the hill into the green.  This can either be a small cut, most often with the wind NOT blowing right, or a larger cut where you rotate to the right and play more of a C2-type shot […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 17: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 27th, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

It can be tough with some setups, but a high-teed 10.5 driver hit well can still carry up onto the plateau to the left.  Going up top, as usual, gives you the advantage of a straight shot down into the green.  Distance is important too, since it can be tough to get an approach driver […]


Catedrais Beach — Hole 18: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 21st, 2019 • Category: Catedrais Beach

Some setups here can be really tough, because you can face distance challenges as well as finding the right cut.  You’ll be coming in left-to-right usually, so angle is important. A common mistake I’ve seen early is to come up short, and then compound the issue by using bite or backspin, which pulls your ball […]

Mystic Hills — Golden Tee 2018

By • Updated: Aug 3rd, 2019 • Category: Mystic Hills

Enjoy this remastered course from Lanesboro, Pennsylvania! The worst setups here may leave you with a GT Par of -26, while the best ones could have you looking at -30.  #2 is rarely there with a great look, #5 can be shut down from the back box, #10 can also be shut down with a […]


Mystic Hills — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 5th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

Mystic Hills — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

There are some rare setups from the front box with a tailwind that allow big hitters to reach the green, but usually you’re laying up short in the left fairway (here’s a hole-out from there) or trying to curve around the corner right for a clear, shorter approach.  Here’s a hole-out from the right.


Mystic Hills — Hole #3: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 6th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

From the left, you can shoot straight over the trees at the green, usually with a high tee. You can do the same from the right with some curve but there’s also a path through the middle if you want to use spin.  This medium-teed driver curved around the left side to spin back in […]


Mystic Hills — Hole #4: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 11th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

From the left box, you may have to curve the ball into the green, making this a challenging early par 3.  Other looks are straight at the flag.


Mystic Hills — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 23rd, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

Three different tee boxes here, with the front-left being the easiest as it’s usually a high-teed 4W or 5W pretty straight over the top at the green.  From there, this high-teed 5W floats over the top to find the cup. From the front-right, you may have to play a bit of cut into the green, […]


Mystic Hills — Hole #6: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 11th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

Often times it’s not hard to clear to the second fairway, but there can be looks where you have to give it all you’ve got with a high tee, such as an A1 drive from the back-right box.  Hit it hard and don’t lose chance at eagle here.


Mystic Hills — Hole #7: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 11th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

This is usually a 3W or driver with perhaps a small cut into the green…it’s not among the more challenging holes here so take aim to stick it close and make sure you come away with eagle.


Mystic Hills — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 11th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

Try to get your drive out far enough out and left so you have a straight shot into the green.  Sometimes that’s just a straight B2 shot but other times you might turn right one and high tee a driver with a big C3 for more distance.  Here’s a hole-out from the fairway.


Mystic Hills — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 11th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

While the drive is not tough, the approach shot here is challenging because of the elevation change, the massive green and the significant slope.  If you don’t put it close, you could miss your putt and have a disappointing par to finish the front.  Find a spot off the tee that gives you a comfortable […]


Mystic Hills — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 30th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

This is a tricky, yet sometimes drivable par 4.  It slopes away from you towards the water, so it typically discourages a high tee unless you can crank it into a headwind (you’ll want the backspin to hold the green).  However, the deep sand trap in front can be tough to clear and is punishing […]


Mystic Hills — Hole #11: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 11th, 2018 • Category: Mystic Hills

You can always get to the second fairway, but it can be challenging with a tough setup and call for a big C3 high-teed driver to make it there.  But once you get there, it should make for a pretty standard eagle.
