Handicap: 8th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -0.55 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 57% Par 42% Bogey 1% Double+ 1% With a good setup, you can carry past the pyramid on the right and get an open look at the green with a short iron. A big A1-type shot is usually pretty safe to get […]

Handicap: 4th hardest hole Category: Risk/Reward Average Score: -0.99 / -2.00  Eagle+ 39% Birdie 31% Par 23% Bogey 6% Double+ 2% Many options off the tee here. The easiest shot is usually a C3 or an A1 past the neck of the fairway, depending on the wind and pin. With a pin on the left, […]

Handicap: 6th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -0.53 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 59% Par 31% Bogey 8% Double+ There’s normally no advantage to cutting the corner to the fairway strip, since you can reach the green just fine laying back — you’ll have a 3-wood or 5-wood, and both should work fine to stick […]

Handicap: 3rd hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.48 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 61% Par 28% Bogey 9% Double+ 2% A low-lofted club like a 2-iron certainly makes this hole easier, and here’s one with a 5-wood — if you have to use a 9-wood and there’s a strong wind, you’re in for an adventure! […]

Handicap: 11th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -0.72 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 73% Par 22% Bogey 1% Double+ 2% Unfortunately, there’s nothing fancy you can do here to drive the green. Just lay out in the fairway — here’s an example hole-out. Here’s another shot that took advantage of a nice hop! Be wary […]

Handicap: 13th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -1.56 / -2.00 Eagle+ 62% Birdie 34% Par 2% Bogey 2% Double+ No need to cut the corner here — if you hit it to the end of the straight part of the fairway, you still have plenty of club to get it there in two, and […]

Handicap: 16th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -0.90 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 89% Par 11% Bogey Double+ This hole gives you a good shot at a hole-in-one, especially if you have low-lofted clubs in your bag! Here’s an example hole-out.

Handicap: 7th hardest hole Category: Risk/Reward Average Score: -1.07 / -2.00  Eagle+ 31% Birdie 54% Par 14% Bogey Double+ 2% First, you may get a look where you can poke one over the building through the gap. Here’s a medium-teed 4-wood with the Air-O balls that finds the cup, so you shouldn’t have a height […]

Handicap: 17th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -0.91 / -1.00 Eagle+ 2% Birdie 89% Par 7% Bogey 2% Double+ Even if you are 400 yards away, you should at least take a look at the setup for a rare chance to try to drive this green. A tail wind helps a lot. Aim right […]

Handicap: 12th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -0.73/ -1.00 Eagle+ 2% Birdie 72% Par 23% Bogey 3% Double+ With some setups, you can use a high tee and blast a straight driver to the second fairway. This gives you a short iron, which you’ll want with some of the pin placements. The only danger […]

Handicap: 14th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -1.64 / -2.00 Eagle+ 69% Birdie 25% Par 5% Bogey 1% Double+ You should pretty much always blast a straight, high-teed driver out to the second fairway (here’s a hole-out from there). Even if you don’t get to the fairway, the desert sand is just fine too. […]

Handicap: 15th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -0.86 / -1.00 Eagle+ 2% Birdie 83% Par 14% Bogey 1% Double+ Here’s an example hole-out to a back pin. If you get a front pin, you can actually take advantage of the sand here. It’s elevated, so if you land short, the sand will stop the […]

Handicap: 10th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -1.27 / -2.00 Eagle+ 46% Birdie 36% Par 16% Bogey 2% Double+ Bottom line — aim straight at the green and let it rip! You’ll almost always be shooting a B2 or other 180-type shot right at this green — even a medium-teed driver hit firmly will […]

Handicap: 3rd hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.31 / -1.00  Eagle+ Birdie 54% Par 27% Bogey 15% Double+ 4% A narrow winding river can suck up careless drives here. There’s no reason to have to hit a long drive, so just find a spot in this voluptuous fairway where you’ll stay dry, and then […]

Handicap: 9th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -0.61 / -1.00  Eagle+ Birdie 64% Par 33% Bogey 3% Double+ Only a select few will ever have a chance to drive the green here, but Mouth teed up a huge A1 and got it there! For the rest of us, you should always be able to […]

Handicap: 2nd hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.24 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 54% Par 26% Bogey 13% Double+ 7% Ah, the “donut hole”. Pin placement determines the difficulty here. This is the 2nd toughest hole on the course, so par is not bad here. There are also some tough drop zones if you do […]

Handicap: 10th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -0.64 / -1.00 Eagle+ 1% Birdie 73% Par 19% Bogey 6% Double+ 2% Stay safe off the tee — 5-wood / 5-wood can certainly get the job done! This is not the hole to be aggressive off the tee, yet many players are dropping strokes here. Here’s […]

Handicap: 13th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -1.55 / -2.00 Eagle+ 64% Birdie 26% Par 9% Bogey 1% Double+ Hit a high-teed driver over the trees to cut the corner of the fairway quite a bit. Make sure you don’t miss left in the trees that protect the left side of the fairway, because […]

Handicap: 5th hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.34 / -1.00  Eagle+ Birdie 59% Par 21% Bogey 17% Double+ 3% Here’s another tough par 3 early on that forces you to stick a small area of green. Bogey or worse happens often here — it’s best to be long to ensure par, and be very […]

Handicap: 14th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -1.59 / -2.00 Eagle+ 64% Birdie 32% Par 3% Bogey 1% Double+ You should be trying to hit it long down the right fairway here most of the time, especially if you aren’t using lofted clubs. A high tee can help add some distance too if you’re […]

Handicap: 11th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -0.71 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 77% Par 19% Bogey 3% Double+ 1% This early par 3 has a tricky green, so you shouldn’t necessarily aim for the flag. Find a box of green that will ensure you a direct putt at the flag, and make sure you […]

Handicap: 17th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -0.92 / -1.00  Eagle+ 1% Birdie 90% Par 7% Bogey 2% Double+ In very rare cases, you might have a chance to drive this one!  Check out this shot. Otherwise, if you get a good tee box, just let it rip! Here’s an example hole-out after a […]

Handicap: 18th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -0.96 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 96% Par 4% Bogey Double+ EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT

Teeing it high and going over the top is usually the way to go!  But, be careful of invisileaves — they can jump out and bite you! With a strong head wind or a cross wind, a teed-high 5-wood should clear the trees left or right of center.  Here’s a great over-the-top dunk, and here’s […]

With a favorable tee box and pin, you can play a small curve around the trees — here’s a hole-out dunk! If you’re positioned on the right, you can tuck a 3-wood around the corner like this great shot. If you’re tucked away left, you might be able to tee it low and punch a […]

EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT

This hole is occasionally driveable.  A combo that’s been known to work is an A1 teed-high 3-wood around the corner — here’s an example ace!  Here’s another great 3W holeout.  And here’s a 406-yard 3-wood ace! You may also get a good setup to take this hole head-on if you have a far left tee.  […]

There are lots of options here — you can go straight over the gazebo (this high-teed driver set up a good approach shot) or straight under/through the gazebo (here’s a nice drive) to set up your approach, like this nice shot.  You can also find some grass to the left of the gazebo (here’s a […]

With a left tee box, you can go over or under the trees by teeing it high or low.  A high-teed 5-wood or 7-wood can get over the trees in some cases — and check out the hole this high-teed 3-wood found! A driver can get under the trees if you need to — it […]

Two greens here!  Here’s a hole-out to the water green, and here’s a great one-hop dunk! Here’s a hole-out to the sand green.
