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!


Rhineland — Hole #18: Par 4

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!

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.

Here’s an ace to a right pin.

There is a really long tee shot from one of the newer boxes that will have setups where some players can’t even reach the green.  Yep, sometimes you need to really hammer a high-teed driver just to get there.


Calypso Key — Hole #7: Par 5

From the original tee boxes, your best shot off the tee is out to the left fairway.  You can be anywhere here and you’ll have enough loft to go over the trees guarding the approach into the green.

Another popular spot off the tee here is the island straight ahead past the first fairway, which gives you comfortable distance into the green.  It’s not too challenging to stick but presents more risk than going left.

From the newer tee boxes, there’s a setup whereby you’ll play straight ahead to the right fairway, giving you an easier approach for eagle.

Also from a newer tee box, there’s a far-left box where you play farther down the left fairway instead for your approach.

From the back box, a high-teed 3-wood can clear straight over the trees to the green.

From the right box, this 3-wood shot through the gap for an ace.

There’s a newer tee box as well that forces a longer shot around or over the trees in order to drive the green.

And there’s another newer box in the front that calls for something like a high 7W over the top.


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.

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.
