Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #9: Par 5

By Deprecated: Function the_author_posts_link was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.1.0 with no alternative available. in /var/web/site/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6085 • Updated: Jan 11th, 2013 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

As long as you can pull back and hammer a solid drive, you should always be using a high tee to cut the corner of the fairway over the left side of the hill.  There are several gaps in the cacti, and it’s rare to actually catch one.  Even if you do, it’s also rare […]


Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 13th, 2013 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

Your shot here depends on the pin location and the wind.  You’ll usually curve over or in with the direction of the wind.  The best setups allow you to use a medium-teed 9-wood so that you can use backspin to hold the green.  Another good setup allows you to high-tee a 9-wood into a headwind […]


Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #11: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 11th, 2013 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

This hole is tricky because it combines an elevated green with a likely gap in your club distances.  Many times you’ll want to change tee height to get the distance you want.  Be careful with the low-teed 9-iron, because elevation will be lower AND backspin is stronger! Here’s an ace into a tough pin from the […]


Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 18th, 2013 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

From the tee boxes closest to the green and a hard wind blowing at the green, this hole can be drivable!  From the front box, you can high-tee a driver and blast a shot straight at it.  From the next box, there is also the potential of aiming straight at it, although there’s risk of […]


Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #13: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

Three different fairway approaches to the hole create variety on this short par 4, which is all about distance control.  You need to clear the hill in front while trying not to fall off the slope on the back. Here’s an ace coming down the right fairway, where the angled green makes the shot slightly […]


Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 11th, 2013 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

Lots of little fairway patches to choose from off the tee — pick one you are comfortable with, or if you are confident, pick the one that gives you the best approach shot given the wind and pin.  The fairway to the right is the safest, and here’s a 4-wood hole-out from the left edge […]


Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #15: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 11th, 2013 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

Many different tee boxes here give you different slopes to deal with, but all are challenging.  With a wind blowing to the right, you’ll have to cut a shot into the wind and slope to hold the green.  Favor over-cutting it here — the hill can still project your ball back onto the green, but […]


Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #16: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 1st, 2013 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

Most of the time it’s best to lay up at the end of the first fairway — here’s a nice 3-wood hole-out from there. It’s sometimes fine to shoot for the second fairway if you’re comfortable as well.  Here’s a hole-out from well out into that fairway.  Even if you miss, you may still have […]


Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #17: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 6th, 2013 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

With a high teed driver, a good wind and a little luck, you can play a huge C3 shot and drive this green!  Here’s an example of how that worked out.  Here’s another one that found the green.  You’ll have to dodge a few obstacles, but the right setup gives you a chance! From the […]


Jackrabbit Junction — Hole #18: Par 5

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Jackrabbit Junction

The best setups allow you to blast a straight high-teed driver over the cacti to the right edge of the second fairway.  If the wind is more challenging, you can rotate left and play a big A1 drive through the gap into that second fairway instead.  Here’s a nice backspin one-hop hole-out with the 7-wood. […]


Coconut Beach — Golden Tee 2013

By • Updated: Oct 24th, 2012 • Category: Coconut Beach

Here is a description of this new course for Golden Tee 2013: “Don’t let the majestic blue water confuse you. This isn’t your average tropical getaway. Despite the beauty of Coconut Beach, this Punta Gorda, Belize masterpiece has more bite than bark. Constructed throughout a rugged Caribbean jungle, nature will likely force you to use […]

Coconut Beach — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 7th, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

If you get the front box, this hole should be drivable most of the time.  Here’s an ace to start off the round. From the second box, you also have a decent chance at driving it, or at least giving yourself  a pretty short chip shot.  It’s usually worth the risk of dropping off the […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 22nd, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

From one of the front boxes, this hole can potentially be drivable!  From the closest box, you’ll have the distance, but the trees will pose an issue.  Your best bet is from the second-closest box — with a nice wind at the green, you can play anywhere from a fairly straight shot to a C3-type […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #3: Par 5

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Coconut Beach

Here you’ll almost always play a driver straight ahead to just behind the back-left fairway trap.  This is the safe play, and the farther left you can stay, the straighter approach you’ll have — this one played the wind nicely.  Here’s a nice 7-wood curved around from well behind the fairway sand.    Even if you […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #4: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 7th, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

The only trouble here would be self-inflicted — you should be able to put this one close.  Just don’t get too aggressive to a tough pin and leave yourself without a putt.  Here’s an ace from the right box, followed by an example ace from the center box.  Here’s another one from the back box […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 13th, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

The left box here gives you the straightest shot at the green, usually requiring only a small cut around the trees.  Here’s a nice driver to a back pin. From the front box, you can either take aim at the pin and play a B1-type shot into the green, or rotate left and curve it […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #6: Par 5

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Coconut Beach

This par 5 is difficult to get close in two because of the narrow fairway and the pesky trees hanging over the green.  However, I’ve found a strategy that works pretty well most of the time. With any type of wind except a strong tailwind, you can lay back in the fairway for a driver […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #7: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 7th, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

You’ll always want to play over the top of the structure, with any setup.  From the front two boxes, you don’t even necessarily need a high tee to get over the top, although that’s the most common option and may be more comfortable.  Here’s a high-teed 3-wood from the middle box floated over and in. […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #8: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 16th, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

This hole usually isn’t too bad — often an iron with bite to settle on the green.  Here’s an example ace to a right pin.  This 9-wood caught a nice little hop back off the hill to a back pin. The tree to the right shouldn’t be in play either if the pin is on […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Coconut Beach

There are many ways to play this shot, and often still more than one option given a particular tee box and wind.  The left-center box gives you the best look, because you can take aim straight at the green and play just a small curve around the left of the trees.  You can also rotate […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 17th, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

The play is almost always straight down the fairway to the right — you should have plenty of club to get there in two.  A driver can work nice to minimize the effect of wind and slope — this one was played nicely and found the hole. Use either backspin, bite, or nothing with the […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #11: Par 5

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Coconut Beach

This year’s Design-A-Hole has a lot going on.  There are a lot of options, so you’ll need to size them up depending on your tee box.  From the front boxes, this hole can be drivable, and you’ll always want to go for it.  Even with a wind blowing hard right, you can still curve a […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 7th, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

There are tee boxes from the side and from the corner here, and the shot can get tricky when the pin is tucked up against the wall with a wind countering it.  From the side, here’s a nice 9-wood ace to a front-right pin.  There is also a ledge you may have to deal with […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #13: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Coconut Beach

A low-teed 4-wood often works well here — it stays under the first obstacle and goes through the second obstacle instead of over it.  This lets you hit it hard but still have correct distance.  Check out an example of that shot here.  Just be careful using backspin and/or hitting it super hard, both of […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: May 3rd, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

Before teeing off, size up the wind and pin position.  If you can thumb a shot straight ahead, short of the water, and still have a straight shot into the green, then that should be your option.  Check out how this approach kicked off the tree to find the hole! If you have a nice […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #15: Par 5

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Coconut Beach

The only legitimate chance of eagle here is to look to the right towards the green, and locate the shortcut patch.  Depending on the wind, you’ll play a couple different types of shots.  With a headwind, you’ll want a high tee, loft and an accurate line through the middle of the structures to nail the […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #16: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 7th, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

This tough par 3 usually forces you to carry the green to retain your backspin.  You’ll often be in between clubs, and the wind will be tough.  Here is where you can practice your curve shots into the wind to counteract it, especially if you need to cut into a tough pin placement.  Be creative […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #17: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Coconut Beach

This is one of the toughest eagles in 2013, followed immediately by perhaps THE toughest eagle in the game.  In most cases, it doesn’t hurt to go for it, because the sand and the rough below the hole will catch most errant shots.  Let’s start there, because this is very entertaining. From the front box, […]


Coconut Beach — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 5th, 2013 • Category: Coconut Beach

This is perhaps the toughest eagle in 2013, and I’m not even convinced that sticking the green is possible under certain conditions.  Many of the aces I’ve seen here were “luckily” intercepted by the hole.  If you miss, then left and slightly long is the place to be!  That being said, there are ways to […]
