The best way to play this hole is to position your drive so that you have a low-lofted club into the green (a huge tree will catch any high-lofted approach shot). You need to get out far enough past the trees on the left, but not so far that the big approach tree is too […]

You’ll need a big A1 drive off the tee with topspin (into a headwind) or backspin (with a tailwind), also depending on the angle you get from tee. Make sure you get the ball as far left on the fairway as you can without actually going in the rough, and you’ll have the best approach […]

Once again, make sure you’re not short!  This one can be tough too.  With a front pin, aim for the back of the green and use backspin.  Here’s an example hole-out. With a back pin, make sure you aim for the back of the green again with no roll.  The wind affects tee shots here […]

Here’s another always drivable par 4. This hole can be an easy straight wood shot, an A1 or a C3, all depending on the tee box. From the left box, you can come straight at it — here’s a hole-out from there. If you’re toward the middle of the boxes, an A1 5-wood will clear […]

If you can get to the second fairway across the water, this one is easy. Stay right as much as you can, because the fairway slopes left. Here’s an example hole-out from there. Just watch out for this fringe when you’re on the green, because it really throws putts off track! If you cannot clear […]

From every tee box, you will either be turning left once to blast an A1 driver with topspin, or you will be turning right once to hit a C3 driver with topspin. Hit this one hard. If you get past the sand, you’re gold. Even if you’re in the sand but you get out far […]

This green is sometimes drivable with a lucky turbo-bouncing C3, but watch out! This green is 250-feet across, so if you’re on the wrong end of the green, you could be 3-putting from 200+ feet! It’s better just to shoot a straight driver 300+ in the fairway to get a clear look at attacking the […]

Just make sure you’re not short!  Be careful with a front pin and a low-lofted club.  If you thumb it, you have a good chance of ending up short in the water.  Club up or pull back to get extra loft hitting uphill to this green.  Here’s an example hole-out.

Always drivable, but difficulty depends on your setup. For most setups, it’s an easy thumb shot with a 5-wood to driver.  Here’s a nice 3-wood hole-out.  Here’s another 3-wood hole-out from different box. The only time this hole is tough is when you’re on the tee box behind the trees. If you are close and […]

Sometimes pin placement can make it tough to attack the flag, so make sure you get your birdie here. You just have to read the pin and the wind to know which type of shot is best. The wind affects the ball more here because it’s a downhill shot.  The green has a strange shape […]

Drivable about 20% of the time. If you’re on the front big box, you can drive this hole with a straight shot. From anywhere else on the front box, hit an A1 or C3 to get there. From the back boxes, just lay up and try to create a straight-wind approach shot again.  Here’s a […]

Sometimes this opening par 4 can be drivable, but mostly you’ll be trying to lay up for a straight shot in with the wind.  Here’s an example hole-out after laying back.

This par 4 is always drivable, although sometimes it’s 370 into a big wind. With water all around this tiny green you only want to go for this hole if it’s easy or if you have to have eagle to beat your opponent. An 8-iron to driver, always with backspin, is the club here.  Here’s […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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. […]

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.

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]
