Tahiti Cove — Hole #14: Par 4

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 […]

Some pros are driving this hole under certain conditions — I had never considered going for it!  So take a look next time before you tee off, because there’s really no harm in giving it a shot. EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT FROM THE FAIRWAY

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 […]

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 […]


Monument Valley — Hole #12: Par 3

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

There are a lot of ways to attack this hole depending on the wind and pin placement.  A lower-lofted club works best, and you can even use the hill in front to your advantage, because the ball rolls pretty generously forward onto the green if you land on the back end of this hill.  Try […]


Monument Valley — Hole #13: Par 5

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

Now here is a fun tee shot!  Take a close look at the log seemingly lying across the fairway.  You’ll notice there’s room underneath, and this is important because you’re going to be rolling your tee shot right under there!  Pick a low-lofted club that has the distance marker right on the log.  Now just […]


Monument Valley — Hole #14: Par 4

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

You’ll want to play this shot almost identically to how you played #7.  You’ll need a low-lofted club and a bunch of curve — anywhere from a C2 to a C3-type shot.  From the back box, here’s an example of rotating right twice and hitting a C2 3-wood with backspin that got a nice kick […]


Monument Valley — Hole #15: Par 4

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

First, take a look at your teebox and wind, because you might consider driving this hole!  If you have the standard driver, and especially the red D2 balls that add distance with a straight 180 off the tee, you can pound a drive right at the green with either roll or backspin depending on the […]


Monument Valley — Hole #16: Par 4

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

From the front box, you may just have a small curve around the mountain into the green.  Here’s a perfect hole-out with a 5-wood. And here’s another one that needed more hook because of the left pin. From the back boxes, you see a tee shot similar to #7 and #14.  This one is much […]


Monument Valley — Hole #17: Par 3

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

You’ll see many looks into this tough green, and the tee shot could be a problem if there’s a gap in your club set where you could really use that extra wedge.  You might be dealing with another 3/4-strength wedge shot with lots of wind into a tough green, so feel fortunate if you can […]


Monument Valley — Hole #18: Par 5

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

Monument Valley finishes with a par 5 that features a very intimidating shot into a canyon that has a little green in the middle, sloping backwards into the abyss! The tee shot is nothing, but your approach will be a nightmare.  With a cross-wind, you can manage the distance and hit a club with no […]


The Great Wall — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

Some guys are driving this hole with a tailwind using a low-loft driver and the red D2 distance balls!  Even if you can’t drive it, you can consider a big A1 or C3 with roll off the tee to get pretty close to the green.  If you have good chipping skills you might be able […]


The Great Wall — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

A very long par 4, but not too difficult with the flat green — make sure to leave yourself a putt. EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


The Great Wall — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

The only thing to warn against here is if the pin is tucked in by one of the edges of the star.  If so, make sure you err towards the center of the green so you don’t have to putt through rough towards the pin!  If you have a shorter putt, say 20-feet or less, […]


The Great Wall — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Featured Holes, The Great Wall

The square landing spot is not where you should be aiming.  If you’ve got the red distance balls, just pound your driver straight ahead into the rough — you’ll still be able to get on in 2 easily. Otherwise, you can play an A1 or C3 into other parts of the rough.  The rough in […]


The Great Wall — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: The Great Wall

From the front box and middle boxes, this hole is always driveable.  Here’s a driver hole-out from the middle. From the back box, it depends — it might not be driveable for you.  If you’re playing the balls that give you extra distance off the tee, it can help you drive this green from the […]


The Great Wall — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

There’s nothing wrong with laying back off the tee — it’s just as easy to birdie from here.  Here’s an example hole-out from 212, well behind the water. If you’re comfortable with a bit of a longer approach shot because it would line you up with the wind, you can blast it straight farther down […]


The Great Wall — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: The Great Wall

3 tee boxes and 3 potential greens present a whole array of possibilities!  The Yin Yang-shaped greens are quite difficult when the pin is tucked back into the tip, so you’ll often have to be quite accurate if you want an easy birdie putt. FRONT LEFT BOX TO FRONT LEFT GREEN MIDDLE BOX TO BACK […]
