From the front-right box, this medium-teed 5-wood curves around the right side into a center pin.  And this high-teed 5-wood goes around the left and over for the dunk!

From the center box, this high-teed 6-wood went straight over to find the hole.

From the back box, this high-teed 5-wood was good straight over the top for the ace.

Not too much to think about here…you may occasionally lay out left if you like the wind and pin placement, but you’ll usually slam it ahead and bring in your approach for eagle.

It is always possible to get this green, but it can be very difficult from the far left box.  You may need a full, perfect cut that barely misses the mountain on the way around.

From the back-center box, it gets easier, and you can go high or low since a high-teed wood can cut the corner over the top a bit. This high-teed 5-wood cut up and over for the dunk!  And this 4-wood cut around for another nice dunk.

From the front box, it’s even easier to get a high-lofted wood over the corner, but the curve-around options are still there too…here’s a 5-wood that backspins into the cup.  Here’s another one with the low-teed 5-wood.  And with a headwind, here’s a high-teed 5W to a left pin.

Anywhere out to the left side of the fairway usually offers enough loft for a wood to get there in two.  An easy spot to hit off the tee is just right of the sand towards the end of the left fairway.  From there, here’s a 3-wood that clears a gap for a double eagle.

More skilled players can cut a driver around the sand and backspin it left to stick the far left edge of the fairway.  It provides an easier approach, but for most of us, the risk is not worth the reward.

There are several options here depending mostly on the pin placement, but one is definitely the most popular.  You’re looking to hit over the right side of the mountain with the highest-lofted club you can hit, which will land you in a nice flat area elevated above the green.  From here, it’s usually a driver into the green — here’s a driver hole-out from that spot.

If you lay up in front of the sand straight ahead, curving around left-to-right with backspin, you’ll be able to curve a wood around the mountain into the green for your second…here’s a nice 4-wood hole-out from there.

With a back-right pin and a good tee box, you can blast straight ahead and have a decent shot into the green from the main fairway.

Finally, if you have something like a 7-wood, you could lay up short and left and come in over the mountain from that angle.

Even with the toughest setup, you can rotate right a couple times and curve a driver with backspin right-to-left…you’ll still have plenty of distance to get there.  Otherwise a 3-wood can clear the mountain ahead to give you a shorter approach.

Most looks here offer a 3 or 4-wood with backspin or a high-teed wood into a headwind to settle on the green.  You’ll have an offset look, so it’s a matter of aim and distance to give you a reasonable putt.

From the back-left box, this driver was short but got a nice bounce up to the green and dropped in the hole!

From the front box, you can always blast a high-teed drive all the way over the narrow neck into the second fairway.  Here’s a short 7-iron hole-out from there.

With other looks, you can avoid the narrow neck by playing down to the left, where a wood has enough loft and distance to get there in two.  Here’s an example hole-out with the 3-wood.

If you do get a look where you are lined up with one of the larger landing areas in the neck, that’s fine too — here’s a 3-wood hole-out from one of those spots!

Vastly different looks from front to back here.  From the front box, you’ll often use a tee to move around the box and see if you want to high-tee or low-tee a wedge to get the right distance.  This sand wedge spun back into a front pin.  This lob wedge also finds a front cup.

Any hole that gives you a chance at double eagle is a lot of fun, and this par 5 sets up to be driveable every time!  If you know you can clear the mountains, there’s no harm missing the green, and at worst you should have a DE chip, so it’s worth a try.  The 5-wood carries much farther than you might think!

From the front-right box, you can rotate right once and cut a wood into the green…this high-teed 5-wood caught the mountain bounce with a perfect deflection into a front pin!  This one carried the green to find the cup.  This 6-wood also curved around to find the hole.  Here’s another 6-wood that carried enough to use backspin to suck into the cup.  With a tailwind, even a high-teed 9-wood may have enough to just go straight at it!

From the back box, you can take pretty straight aim with a high-teed 5-wood (or in most cases a high-teed 4W works too).

Or, you can rotate right and cut a high-teed 3-wood over/through the mountains into the green…check out this great bounce at the end for the super albatross!  This high-teed 4W landed cleanly with a bit of spin back for another one.

For those newer players who choose to lay up to the left, here’s a fun driver with a couple crazy bounces to find the hole!

From the front-right box, here’s a 4-wood ace to a front pin.

From the back-right box, this high-teed driver caught the rock by the green on the right but deflected perfectly left for an ace!  And this high-teed 5-wood came at it over the top, cutting into the wind to find the hole.  Here’s a high-teed 4-wood that got a nice little hop into the cup as well.  With a side or tailwind, a well-hit medium-teed 4-wood with backspin is a nice option to stick and hold the green.

From the left box, this high-teed 6-wood found a gap over the top into a front pin!  This high-teed 5-wood also curved left over the top to find the hole.

Your tee box will determine how far down the fairway you can get your drive, and as you can guess, the farther, the better.  From the back boxes, you can often play it save and hammer a high-teed driver straight ahead over the mountain, leaving you a straight or slightly-curved shot into the green with a wood.

If you are back far enough, you can still take a wood over the corner of the mountain to the green — check out this 4-wood dunk.

If the wind is blowing right, you can consider turning left a couple times and playing a big A1 drive to the left side of the fairway, where you’ll have enough distance for your approach.

Finally, you can lay up in the right outlet of the fairway towards the green, at the front edge of it.  From here, a 4 or 5-wood can clear the mountain and go straight at the green.  This shot is difficult into a headwind, though.

With danger everywhere and an offset look, this is the toughest hole on the back 9.  You’ll sometimes need to pull off highly-skilled shots to stick the green by the flag for a birdie putt here.

From the front-left box, here’s a 7-wood ace to a center pin.  And check out this doomed shot that somehow gets the perfect incredible bounces over to the cup!

From the right-middle box, this shot was way too short but somehow bounced over, left, and in…amazing.

From the back box, this driver was off the mark but got a couple amazing bounces to shoot over to the left cup!

It’s all about distance control to close out this course…with a slightly uphill shot, you’ll need to clear the water to the green but not go so far as to bounce back off the rock into the water…practice will lend itself well here.

From the front-left box, here’s an easy 5-wood into a back-left pin.  This 5-wood was way off left but got the generous bounces off the rock to find the hole!  Here’s another 6-wood that rides the rock on the left and ends up in the cup!  This one was way too low and short but got amazing bounces to find the cup!

From the back box, check out this 3-wood dunk to a front pin!  Also, with a strong tail wind, you can get some help banking off the back…here’s a 4-wood that settled back into the cup!
