Eagle Crest — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Eagle Crest

Hit far down the fairway, try to at least get parallel to the end of the sand on the left. Usually a 2-iron to 3-wood 2nd shot.  Here’s an example hole-out.

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Eagle Crest

Blast an A1 drive with topspin down the fairway – the amount of hook you play depends on the wind. Make sure you stay left and get far enough so the trees on the right don’t get in your way! Watch out for the sideways “V” shaped sidewalk. That’s an unplayable lie. Alternatively, you can […]



Eagle Crest — Hole #7: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Eagle Crest

Not drivable, so don’t try it. From the front tees, the safe play is to hit a C3 5-iron with backspin to cut the corner a bit. Rather, you can rotate left 3 times, hit a driver with topspin through a gap in the trees, and end up in the fairway or rough just past […]



Eagle Crest — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Eagle Crest

Huge green, so don’t be short! Use backspin with a front pin, or use no spin, land and roll up with a back pin.  Here’s a hole-out from the middle box.
