Here’s a front-box ace to a back pin.

From the back box, this 7-wood finds a tough back-right pin.

In rare situations you can take a shot at driving this green…worst case you’ll end up close with perhaps a chip. Here’s a huge C3 off the tee that finds the fringe!

There will often be an opportunity to cut the corner to the left fairway, making for a short second shot into this part 5. Sometimes it’s a straight B2 through this gap in the mountains, and other times you’ll cut through with a C3 shot. Here’s a hole-out from there. Here’s another hole-out from the back rough. And here’s one from the front rough.

While it’s not the most difficult tee shot to execute, it might not be for you, and it’s not okay to end up trapped somewhere and put up a big number early. That’s because it’s also a great option to lay out to the right and avoid a potentially errant hit, as you’ll have enough distance on your approach from there too. Just shoot out to the end of the right fairway and bring a wood into the green. Here’s a nice 5-wood hole-out from there.

This is a really tough eagle…sometimes anything around the green is a good approach. A high-teed 6-wood can cut some of the corner around the left side, but you still have to play it out pretty far left anyway. If the distance is there, a high-teed 8-wood can cut more of the corner…check out this ace to a front-right pin! Here’s another high-teed 8-wood cut over the top.

From the left box, this wood plays a little cut around the side to a left pin. This hybrid played a sharper cut and got a nice bounce off the backstop to settle into a back pin! And notice how this high-teed 5W took aim to the right but played out left around the mountain to find a left pin.

From the front box, you may be able to pull off a drive to the green! Here’s a turbo A1 high-teed 5-wood that bounced down for a long eagle putt.

From the back box, it’s even possible — check out this high-teed driver that trickled over onto the green! Even with the turbo gone, this high-teed driver still trickled over onto the green. And with the pin on the left, this one bounced down onto the green for an eagle putt too! You can see the last was with the 10.5 degree driver.

With the removal of the turbo, most of us won’t ever attempt to drive this…the safe play is the fairway. Here’s a hole-out from there.

I always high-tee a 3-wood here. With a good setup, I’ll take a B2 straight over to the second fairway. With a tougher one, I’ll turn one left and play an A1 to get it to the same spot instead. Here’s a hole-out from the left side.

Although there’s only one tee box, this massive green means you’ll be hitting a wide variety of clubs. Here’s a nice 4-wood lofted down to a back pin. With a tough wind, this 4-wood cut into a back-right pin. And here’s a 3-hybrid into a front pin.

It’s often a driver or 3-wood here, but it’s usually a tough eagle because of the shape of the green and the sand guarding the entrance. Backspin is nice with a driver sometimes so you can cut through most of the wind, and a high-teed wood can be good into a headwind where it will settle nicely.

From the center box, here’s a great ace to a front pin.

From the right box, this driver used the green and settled nicely into a back pin. And this 3-wood bounced nicely into a front-left pin.

With a tailwind like the one shown in this picture, this green can be drivable or close to it. There’s a stream by the green that could swallow an approach, but it may be fun to give it a try with a straight blast or a curved A1 through the mountains. Here’s a gigantic A1 high-teed 3-wood that carries the green!

My favorite option is the right side of the fat part of the fairway about 170 yards ahead or so. It slopes up so it’s easy to land, so there’s no risk off the tee, and you’ll never need more than a 3-wood into the green, which will clear the mountain. Here’s a 3W hole-out over the right side to a back-right pin.

The bottom of the fairway to the left offers a couple approach options…here’s a 3-wood hole-out from there.

The main fairway with a huge drive can work since this hole is not too long.

There’s also an option to the right up in the mountains. A 3-wood off the tee by clicking one right has a settle area that can offer a nice approach.

With a front-right pin, just make sure you have enough to clear the mound in front of the green…this one barely made it and then found the hole! This 6-wood bounced off the top and down to find the hole.

Here’s a 7-wood ace to a center pin.

From the front box, this hole can be drivable, although you’ll be contending with the water running all around the green. If you don’t get the right hop or carry too far, you can get wet pretty easily. However, sometimes you’ll get really lucky — check out this incredible ace! This one also curved at it to hop over the water and find the cup. Here’s another one straight at it that bounced up and in. How about a C3…we’ve got one of those too!

From the middle or back boxes, you’ll have your choice of fairway to choose from that offers the best approach given the wind and pin placement. Here’s a hole-out from the right fairway.

There’s a ramp on this hole that could propel your ball onto the green if you get lucky — here’s one of the most incredible aces you’ll ever see! It’s also the longest ace in GT YouTube history! Here’s another one that almost finds the hole. You can get the ramp sometimes from that left box shown in the pic with an out wind and a big medium-teed C3 driver with roll.

From the far center of the fairway, here’s a hole-out to a front pin. From farther back, here’s another hole-out to a front-left pin.

Another optional landing area on this short par 5, especially with the farthest back-left box, is to the left in front of the sand, where you’ll find flatter ground. Here’s a 5-wood hole-out from there. With a headwind and a right pin, you can even play the fairway past the hole and let it bounce back!
