Bella Toscana — Hole #18: Par 4

A typically tough finishing hole, this green is awful and will take tremendous skill to stick it.  From the right tee box, a driver won’t clear the tree blocking your path, so take this into account. You’ll have an offset look, so you’ll have to be precise with your aim to hold this narrow green. […]

Tahiti Cove — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

This should be a pretty good eagle opportunity for you.  If the pin is in the middle of the split green, you goal is to leave your shot pin-high on either side of the split green so that you have a manageable putt. Remember that the shot is downhill slightly, so your drive may travel […]

Tahiti Cove — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

The best place to be off the tee is just over the water (usually a driver backspin).  From here, you can float a 5-wood over the top of the trees onto the green for an eagle putt!  Here’s a nice 5-wood hole-out from that general area.  If you have a 7-wood, you have even more […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

There are 3 options off the tee here.  Most often, you’ll be laying back far enough to give yourself a line at the green from farther back — usually a 3-wood for the approach.  Here’s a 3-wood hole-out from laying back. If you have a closer tee box that’s lined up with the gap in […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #6: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Low-lofted clubs are a big advantage here.  With a front pin, don’t be afraid to bounce a low-lofter through the sand with backspin. If you have to use a 9-wood, play the wind as best you can to leave yourself a putt, and rarely use backspin. HOLE-OUT FROM BACK LEFT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM BACK RIGHT […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #7: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

This should be an eagle for you just about every time — here’s how to attack it: First, if you have one of the tee boxes on the right, line up with the green.  You’ll see a landing area a bit over halfway there.  Sometimes a tree impedes the shot, but either way, this is […]

Nothing else to do other than lay up and try to hole-out from there.

Again — no reason to get fancy off the tee, so poke it out there and nail your approach shot, like this!


Tahiti Cove — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

The decision off the tee here can be perplexing!  Initially it appears as if you’d always want to go to the left, but the Golden Tee course designers were kind enough to ensure that if the tee shot strays to the left a bit, it will roll right down onto the lava rock, which is […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #11: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

With a tailwind, this green can be really tough to stick.  This hole really tests your mastery of distance — good luck!  I love having the 7-wood and 9-wood here, which allow you to float the ball over the hill more easily. HOLE-OUT FROM THE RIGHT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE LEFT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Lots of options off the tee here, but I play to the same place almost every time now.  I like to lay up in front of the lava lake, in line with the hole.  From here, you can lob a 5-wood onto the green, like this great shot (love the bubbling lava)!  A 3-wood may […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #13: Par 4

Depending on the tee box, this can be a straight shot to a big A1. Here’s a driver hole-out from the middle-left box, and here’s one from there with a 3-wood. Here’s a great 3-wood A1 backspin shot from the middle-right box. From the far right box, you can take an A1 driver around the […]

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 […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

This hole is sometimes driveable, especially with the red distance balls.  If you’ve got a friendly tee box and/or wind, pound a 180 drive, usually with backspin, towards the green and hope that you carry!  You can usually try the shot even if you think it’s not driveable, because even if you’re short, it’s just […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Again, if you have the D2 balls that add distance off the tee, it makes this tee shot much easier — often times you can simply carry the neck of the fairway instead of having to thread it.  Otherwise, you’ll be testing your accuracy to land in the neck of the fairway if you want […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Tahiti Cove

As you might expect coming down the stretch, this long par 3 has a horribly-shaped green like a 4-leaf clover and is very hard to stick.  Not only that, but the shape of the green means that even if you stick the green, you might not have a clear putt at the hole.  Your skills […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

From the front couple boxes, you can work a 5-wood backspin around the trees into the green.  Another approach that works is to punch a low-lofted club through a spot in the trees, if you see one.  If you miss the trees, your ball will trickle down onto the green!  Here’s a great hole-out from […]

Monument Valley — Hole #4: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Monument Valley

From most tee box positions, you can carry either a 3-wood or a 5-wood over the top right at this green.  From the front left tee box, you should be able to take a 5-wood over the top, or maybe a 3-wood with a slight curve — here’s a hole-out from that box. From the […]


Monument Valley — Hole #5: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Featured Holes, Monument Valley

This is a tough eagle, especially being a par 5 on the front 9!  You’ll want to get your tee shot out far and left towards the end of the fairway, but that’s not so easy to do.  The best way is to play a C3 shot so that you’re heading to your landing area […]

HOLE-OUT FROM THE MIDDLE BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE BACK BOX


Monument Valley — Hole #7: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Monument Valley

On this hole, I’ve been lining up with the green, rotating twice to the right, and playing a C2 shot with backspin through the gap in the rock — here’s a great example!  If you can really get the ball going right-to-left (via the C2), you have a better chance of holding the green with […]


Monument Valley — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Monument Valley

The shortcut here is pretty obvious — you need to stick your drive on one of the grassy pods in the middle of the sandy area straight ahead.  Thus far, I haven’t found any reason to aim for any other spot than the 3rd pod from the back.  If you stick it there, you should […]


Monument Valley — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 27th, 2017 • Category: Featured Holes, Monument Valley

From the front box, you’ll want to cut a driver or a 2-iron underneath the rocky gate towards the green.  Use backspin, and you will often be skimming over the the hill in front of the green, but it won’t stop you from making the green.  Just try to control your distance, especially when using […]


Monument Valley — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 12th, 2012 • Category: Monument Valley

Take a look at your tee box and wind, and figure out whether or not you can safely hit a C3 that will stay in the fairway.  If so, you’ll have a pretty easy approach shot, like this one! If not, then try to lay back for a 5-wood into this green, because you’ll want […]


Monument Valley — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Monument Valley

A big risk/reward hole, this one challenges your accuracy but rewards you with an eagle putt if you thread the gap!  You’ll actually have to take a bit off your drive because it plays slightly downhill, and your ball may fly farther than you’d expect. The worst thing that can happen is ending up behind […]
