Bayou Bay — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

If you’re on the left box, you can turn left a ways for a tee box landing zone, or aim down the fairway and hit a C3 down the fairway and around the water. You’ll have an easy iron in from here. The middle set of boxes makes this hole tough. The fairway is similar […]



Bayou Bay — Hole #15: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 28th, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

This long par 5 can be very hard to reach in 2. From the middle tees and 670 or so out, just blast a couple straight drivers to get there in 2 — here’s a straight driver in for double-eagle. Otherwise, hit it as far down the fairway as you can with an A1 or […]



Bayou Bay — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

This par 5 has several options. From the middle tees, you can hit a B1 3-wood with backspin to the biggest and closest landing area to the right, leaving a C3-type driver with backspin into the green. Or, if you can get to the end of the island closest to the green, you’ll have a […]



Bayou Bay — Hole #12: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

Just play a straight drive down the middle. There’s usually no need to flirt with the narrow neck of the fairway, so just lay back in the fat part. Here’s an example hole-out.  If you have a right tee box, you’ll need a C3 backspin 3-wood or driver.



Bayou Bay — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

There are two fairways to choose from, but 1 green. If you can make it to the left fairway (usually a C3 shot), you’ll have an easy approach shot. If you’re on the far left box, you can look left a ways and hit a driver through the gap in the trees to the fairway. […]



Bayou Bay — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

Stay out of the water on this long par 3 of around 300 yards. It’s usually a driver with backspin, and you want to land on the right side of the green since there’s strong break left towards the water.  Here’s an example ace.



Bayou Bay — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

There are two greens on this hole! There’s only one situation where this hole is drivable – if the green is the left green, if you’re on the front of the left 3 tee boxes, and if you hit a big C3 — here’s an awesome skip-ace from the front box!. Otherwise, in most cases, […]



Bayou Bay — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

If you’re among the tee boxes on the right, watch out for the trees – you may need to hit a B1 shot to avoid them. Don’t let your shot leak too far right towards the water! There is a hill behind the green that will stop an aggressive shot at a back pin.  Here’s […]



Bayou Bay — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

Another long par 4 where you usually need to avoid the trees on the right and lay up at the end of the fairway. It’s sometimes drivable with a big A1 off the front tees when the wind is blowing to the right. Don’t leave your approach shot short in the sand!  Here’s an example […]



Bayou Bay — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 22nd, 2012 • Category: Bayou Bay

A long, mostly unreachable par 4 to start off. Set up your drive for an easy, accurate approach into this large green.  Here’s an example hole-out.



Eagle Crest — Hole #17: Par 4

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

This is a really tough par 4 with several options. Very rarely will this hole set up to drive the green with a huge C3 and a great wind. Maybe 5% set up that way, plus you’ll need an extremely lucky turbo bounce up and out of the sand guarding the green. You’re better off […]



Eagle Crest — Hole #15: Par 3

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

Huge green, but there’s a big upward slope, so make sure to stick this one close to the hole! Ideally you want to leave a short, uphill putt, but if that happens, you weren’t aggressive enough! Downhill putts can lip out, and side-sloping putts are obviously much tougher here. With a front pin, hit long […]



Eagle Crest — Hole #14: Par 4

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

Always drivable with anywhere from a 3-iron to a 3-wood. From the middle and back tee boxes, a 4-wood and a 5-wood will both clear the trees that overhang the right side.  Here’s a nice 5-wood from the middle box. From the front boxes, you’ll need to hit a B1 shot around the trees. If […]



Eagle Crest — Hole #13: Par 5

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

You have to get across the road to be able to make this in 2. Most of the time you can just plow a straight driver. Sometimes you may have to click left once and hit a big A1 to get there. If you’re in the fairway, or first cut, you’ll have a 5-wood to […]



Eagle Crest — Hole #12: Par 3

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

Don’t be short! If the pin is in front, aim for the end of the green and backspin the ball down the hill.  Here’s an example hole-out.



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.



Eagle Crest — Hole #10: Par 4

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.



Eagle Crest — Hole #1: Par 4

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

Let’s get started! This one is straight-forward.Drive it straight, bring your approach in, and putt for birdie.  Here’s an example hole-out.



Auburn Glen — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 21st, 2012 • Category: Auburn Glen

A high-teed driver straight at it can get there most of the time — here’s a long ace!  This one also went right over the yellow tree on the left and trickled all the way down and in, but you may also clip a leaf here if you mishit it, so stay right of this […]



Dusty Bend — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 21st, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

Just aim for the end of the first fairway — you’ll have plenty of club to get there in two, and you won’t bring any danger into play.  Here’s a nice 5-wood hole-out to a front pin.  A 7 or 9-wood will be used often as well.  Make sure you carry the green, and better […]

Dusty Bend — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Jan 9th, 2012 • Category: Dusty Bend

There are two greens here — one has you coming straight into the downslope, and one has you hitting into the green sloped hard to the left.  From the front, you’ve got water long (can’t be there), and dirt and road short (the better place to miss).  Also be careful not to miss on the […]
