Mayfield — Hole #7: Par 5

By • Updated: Oct 12th, 2017 • Category: Mayfield

The right side of the grassy circle to the left provides the best chance for eagle here and shouldn’t be too hard to land off the tee.  Here’s a 5-wood hole-out from there.

Rhineland — Hole #11: Par 4

This is a really challenging eagle that will have you trying a number of different approaches depending on the setup, both within the tee box and due to the wind. Perhaps the best setup is from the left of the box with a headwind, since you can high-tee a wood and just try to manage […]

As with most holes late in the round, wind will be a huge factor here, but so will elevation on this one. From the front box, here’s a great ace to a back-center pin. From the back box, here’s a great cut shot into a tough wind that snaps back into the cup!

Short hole, but a big tee box and big green will offer up lots of combinations.  Here’s a GW ace to a front-right pin.

There are a couple of tee boxes here…from the left box, here’s a gap wedge ace to a front pin.  And here’s a 9-iron buried in a back cup. From the center box, here’s one straight-on to a back pin.



Tahiti Cove — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Oct 9th, 2017 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Check out your tee box — if you’re on one of the two closest boxes, you’ve got a chance to drive this thing!  It takes bravery and a beautifully executed shot (or an already trashed round), but it’s fun to try! From the front box, there’s a gap in the trees, and you’ll be short […]



Rhineland — Hole #4: Par 3

By • Updated: Oct 9th, 2017 • Category: Rhineland

An early challenging par 3 with a big drop into the green, but at least it’s a large green…be careful of going long and bouncing back off the hill.  Here’s a 3-wood that got a nice bounce back to find the hole!  And here’s a driver for the dunk.



Rhineland — Hole #10: Par 3

From the front-box, here’s an ace to a center pin. This 5-wood from the back box buries in a back-right cup.

You can go left or right here depending on what looks best, and both are fine. If you go left, just avoid going all the way to the end of the fairway since trees could be blocking your approach.  Here’s a 5-wood hole-out to a back pin.



Safari Dunes — Hole #3: Par 3

Here’s a 6-wood ace to a front pin.

It’s not much, but the elevation can affect incoming shots, especially to a front pin…from the back-right box, this driver caught a nice bounce to find the hole.



Mayfield — Hole #9: Par 5

By • Updated: Sep 28th, 2017 • Category: Mayfield

Often times you can’t reach the second fairway off the tee, so it’s best to lay up past the sand to the right edge of the first fairway to limit the curve required into the green. Even if you’re farther left, you can still curve a shot into the green…here’s a nice 4-wood hole-out.



Calypso Key — Hole #9: Par 3

Here’s a wedge to a front pin. And because this hole can set up short with a big inviting green, it may be an option to club up and chip it in there…check out this wood for an ace.

Teal Gardens — Hole #9: Par 4

From the center box, take aim at the green…your wood will have plenty of loft.  Here’s a 5-wood ace to a front pin.  And here’s a 3-wood with backspin.  This 6-wood also had enough to clear and spin back to a front pin. Be careful with a front pin, as you’ll still want to make sure […]



Summit Lakes — Hole #3: Par 4

By • Updated: Sep 13th, 2017 • Category: Summit Lakes

Here’s an occasionally drivable par 4. If the lake is frozen, be glad, because most of the water the rest of the way will be too! The round will play much easier than if the water is in liquid form. From the front of this huge tee box, you can get to the green with […]



Bayou Bay — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Aug 18th, 2017 • Category: Bayou Bay

The tee shot on this par 3 can be anywhere from a putter to a driver! If you get a really close tee box, you can hit a putter down the hill to the green. Be careful with a downhill putt here, because this green likes the rollovers. With a funky wind from this close […]
