Certain conditions allow you to fade a drive all the way over to the far-right fairway, which gives a great look.

Most times, however, you’ll be aiming for the small island fairway straight ahead, and this can be challenging with a cross-wind.  Even from here, you’ll sometimes have to curve your approach over/around the hill into the green towards the pin.  Here’s a great 3-wood cut shot that finds the hole.

Here’s a nice dunk from the left box.

A 3-hybrid is a great club to have here — check out this nice one through the tunnel that finds the hole!  You can get away with more height than you might think here…a 5-hybrid is fine and works well with certain distances, but a low-teed 6-wood also clears if the distance calls for it.  With a headwind, you can club up and tee down…check out this low-teed 3-wood curved through for an ace.

With longer clubs such as drivers, you can even attempt bank shots off the wall — check out this driver deflection for an incredible ace!  Here’s another perfect bank shot.  Over time I think this has been the most consistent shot to try, where you aim for the wall towards the end of the tunnel to bounce down.

With the perfect wind, it appears as if an 8/9-wood might be able to curl around the left of the mountain into the green as an alternate approach…this high 9W did indeed find the green for an eagle putt.

With the newer tee boxes, different strategies come into play.  If the wind is blowing right, you can cut a high-teed wood around the left side of the hill into the green.  It’s tougher to bank a shot through the tunnel from back here, so you’ll otherwise need to practice your low-lofted cut shots through the tunnel here.

With a tailwind, this hole can be driveable!  Check out this high-teed 10.5 driver that carries onto the green.  And this driver barely made it to bounce up and then back into the hole for the super albatross!  Here’s another ace off the back wall.

A popular layup spot is the square patch straight ahead, requiring a small cut around the tower.  Distance control is key to both carry and stick this spot.

Another option is the fairway to the left…this tee shot hugged the right edge of the fairway and only needed a 5-wood to hole-out to a front pin!

Yet another option is the fairway to the right, where you can also have a moderate wood into the green…here’s a 5-wood hole-out from there.

With the newer tee boxes, this one is always drivable!  The worst thing is to be short, so always err on the long side…the hill behind the green is usually friendly and can help the ball settle on the green.  Don’t go chasing the pin — just be happy with a double eagle putt!

Just lay up anywhere off the tee for your approach.  Distance control will be key on the approach as long will shoot you backwards, and short is a deep sand trap.

This approach was long but the hole got in the way!

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!

From the back box, here’s a great driver around the left side with backspin for an ace.  Here’s a 3-wood with a straighter line that also finds the hole.

You can also play to the right under the tunnel, although it’s a bit trickier to avoid the water and there is cart path lining the way to the green, impacting spin.  Here’s a perfect low-teed driver from the back box.  Although if you do hit the water, hit it low with spin and it may skip – check out this low-teed driver ace!  Check out this amazing deflection off the wall back onto the green and into the hole!

From the front-left box, around the left is often a good play – here’s a great 4-wood for an ace.

From the new back-right box, you can play a low driver or sometimes a 0-hybrid to get under the arch…or some conditions allow you to play around the left side of the tower.  Here’s a low-teed driver that finds the hole.  Lower-lofted drivers like the 8.5 degree 310 driver work much better here as there’s still risk of clipping the tower.

From the new right-front box, the 1-hybrid is a great club to have, — here’s a great low-teed 1-bird ace.

If you have some confidence with your chip or “chush” shots, go ahead and try to get close to this green with certain setups, as a chip can be there to give you a chance at an early eagle.  Check out this example from 1-minute in with the 6-wood!

Here’s a hole-out to start the round.

And with the newer tee boxes, this is sometimes drivable – check out this example ace!

There are a couple layup spots here in case you can’t clear the water to the second fairway.

First, you can turn right and play over the house/trees with something like a 5-wood…you’ll land in a front yard and be shooting over a truck into the green.  The yard is outlined with a rectangular shade of green and is to the right of the house, which itself is to the right of its pool.  Stay back away from the truck and you have a nice approach.  This one was challenging but somehow went around the pole and missed the tree to find the cup!

Another option is to go left, long of the main fairway over the fence into another grassy area that gives you an open shot between a couple obstacles right into the green.  This is one of the best options from the newer tee boxes and with the different pin placements to the left of the green.

Also from the newer tee boxes, you can sometimes carry your drive out to the second fairway for a clean approach.

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.

From the center box, here’s a high-teed 5-wood over the top for the ace.

There’s a newer tee box out left, but it’s still a similar shot and distance over trees into the green.

You can often clear the water to the second fairway, but it’s not necessary to reach the green in two.

From the newer front-left box, you can sometimes reach this green in one – here’s a nice ace!

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.

Most tee boxes have you going around the right side, either high or low hoping to avoid the water into the green.  The back-left box may be the one where you can go either side.    Let the setup and wind determine what’s easiest, but when in doubt, go around the left side since you won’t be needing to clear any water on the approach!

From the front-left box, here’s a nice 3-wood cut around the right side to a right pin.

From the back-left box, here’s a driver beauty around the left side that finds the cup.  Here you may also have an option to play around the right side, especially if the wind is helping that way…check out this low-teed driver skipped onto the green for an ace.

From the back-right box, this driver hopped over the stream and spun into the hole for an ace.  While the trees seem daunting by the green, there’s more air in there than you may think.  And even if you do happen to catch some leaves, you’ll be right by the green anyway.  With that said, it’s not bad to try to curve one straight into the green as well.  Check out this high-teed driver that finds a center pin.

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.

From the center box, here’s a great 3-wood cut through the trees with backspin for an ace.

From the left box, this 4-wood threads the gap for the dunk!  Even this medium-teed 3-wood went through the middle to spin back in the hole.  And this high-teed 5-wood goes over the top to a back pin.

Finally, from the left box, check out this 0-hybrid that takes the trees out of play by going under and skipping the water up onto the green and in the cup!

While the grassy field of the baseball diamond seems like the logical layup spot, you may still have a hard time either avoiding the sand or getting close enough to be able to reach in two from there.  Rather, look beyond to the rough that extends out towards the second fairway, to the right of the water.  You can land the heavy rough beyond the fence behind the fall field by curving an A1-type drive in there.

If you carry onto the cart path, that’s still fine and you’ll have plenty of distance — here’s a hole-out from there.

Even better with certain setups, you can turn right and play a big C3 drive over all this area to the lighter rough beyond the cart path.  Most anything in this area is fine, unless you find this guy – turn up the sound to feel his pain.

From the center box, here’s a great 5-wood cut into the green for an ace.  And this high-teed 3-wood was a great play around the left side to find the cup.

From the front box, it’s often nice to have a higher-lofted wood to let you go more directly over the tree to the left of the water tower into the green.  Otherwise, you’ll need to play more cut out left around the tree to bring it in.

There are several options here off the tee, but you should be looking for one you can land comfortably while staying away from the tall grass growing on the edges that could knock down your approach.

From the island to the right, always the best option from the traditional tee boxes, here’s a nice driver hole-out.

Newer tee boxes out left don’t allow you to hit this layup spot off the tee, so the next best option is the island to the left, staying away from the bush.

If the wind is blowing right, towards the green, you may also be able to blast a huge drive into the left fairway, allowing a driver approach into the green.  Don’t try this if the wind is in your face, though, because you may be 380 yards or so away still and can’t get there.

You can hit to the center fairway strip, but it’s the riskiest shot there is and is often best avoided.

From the front box, this 6-wood hops up into a left-center pin.

From the back box, this driver settles into a center pin.

And my goodness, did this hole get challenging with the new tee boxes.  There’s one in the center, but they’ve also added one left and right tucked behind trees.

From the left box, it’s closer and may call for something like a 6W cut into the green…that is, if the wind isn’t blowing straight right.  If it is, and you have a 0-hybrid in your bag, then you can low-tee that club right under the tree straight at the green…hit it firm and you’ll still have enough elevation to clear and stick the green for an eagle putt!

From the right box, it’s longer and very beneficial to have a 0-hybrid in your bag as well to take straighter aim at the green and shoot under/slightly around the tree.  Or, check out this low-teed driver, which somehow stays under the tree to go right at it!  But if you don’t have this club and the wind looks nasty, try to find a layup spot for birdie instead of getting wet and taking par.

From the left box, here’s an ace to a front pin.

From the back-center box, here’s an ace to a center pin.

Backspin, bite or maybe even a high tee into this finishing green, even though it slopes down, depending on the wind!  Sometimes it’s straight in and other times you’ll need a small cut…just make sure to clear the fence and water!

Here’s a high-teed 3-wood straight at it.  This 3-wood somehow avoided the fence for an ace!

This driver caught the roof but continued on its way into the cup!

There’s a newer tee box in the front-left allowing you to drive this green over the trees!

Here’s a dunk to a back-right pin.

A popular layup spot is to the right by the outlet spot towards the water…even if you’re back a ways you can still get there.  Here’s a driver hole-out from there.

There’s a new tee box way left that allows you to lay up in the sand to the left for a straight approach into the green.

There’s also a new tee box out right that allows you to drive all the way out into the second fairway for a straight approach.

From the left box, here’s a great 3-wood around the left side to a front pin.

The newer tee boxes have a placement that puts you out farther left for a different approach over a different set of trees.
