Royal Cove — Hole #4: Par 5

This can be a really tough eagle.  First, you might want to take a run at the green or at least get it close!  Rotate right and play a big high-teed C3 driver around the side.  Just hope you don’t get unlucky like this! If you don’t want to give that a try, rotate right […]


Royal Cove — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 18th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

You’ll be cutting your tee shot around the right side to give yourself an eagle putt here.  Here’s a dunk with a 5-wood with a pretty straight look, and here’s a 3-wood with a small cut around the corner.  It’s usually not too bad unless the wind is blowing right.  If you miss anywhere, miss […]


Royal Cove — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

A high tee can potentially save you a stroke here — you’ll want to blast a drive to the second fairway and stay as far right as you can without getting in those trees.  This gives you the best angle on your approach.  There’s just a narrow gap between the trees on this approach, and […]


Royal Cove — Hole #7: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

This is a big, fairly flat green, so don’t necessarily chase the pin here — favor the middle of the green to be safe!  Here’s a 9-wood hole-out. VIDEO DEMO


Royal Cove — Hole #8: Par 5

By • Updated: Dec 9th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

This hole is actually drivable in certain setups with a high-teed A1 driver, but almost never worth the risk.  There’s a very small margin of error in terms of the curve path and the distance, and it requires you to land in the sand strip short of the green to kill the ball and stop […]


Royal Cove — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Dec 9th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

Here you’ll need to curve a long wood, often high-teed, around the mountain and stick a fairly small area that includes the green.  Remember that if you choose a straight line and play a small cut around the mountain, it’s easier to control, but you’ll also lose distance vs. a bigger cut shot that will […]


Royal Cove — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Aug 24th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

This hole will likely require a couple of small cut shots to hit the green.  Don’t get too crazy off the tee — again, distance doesn’t much matter, just get it somewhere right of the sand, preferably short so you don’t bring it into play.  Here’s a nice hole-out from behind the sand.  There’s a […]


Royal Cove — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Royal Cove

Don’t pay TOO much attention to the demo here, because the hill is now higher than the demo and you have a slim chance of being able to climb up and over the hill towards the green.  HOWEVER, study this shot.  It’s a medium-teed 3-wood with roll from the right-center of the box.  There’s a […]


Royal Cove — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

This is a tough par 3 that will test your skills, especially if you have to hit a 7-wood or 9-wood.  Missing left or right means trees and water.  Missing short is water.  Long in the sand is your only bail out spot. Using a tee is often helpful here to give yourself the best […]


Royal Cove — Hole #13: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Royal Cove

Don’t put too much stock in the demo here either, because the trees are higher and you won’t really be able to cut the corner anymore.  This becomes a par 4 where you need a simple but accurate tee shot straight down the fairway to set up a longer, difficult approach shot.  Here’s a hole-out […]


Royal Cove — Hole #14: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Royal Cove

Three options here!  First, to the right, there’s a narrow green patch along the wall through the trees.  If you can stick it here, this gives you probably your best approach shot for eagle — here’s a hole-out from there.  It can be very tough, especially with a left-blowing wind or if you get an […]


Royal Cove — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 11th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

Most times you can curve a wood around the left side and plop it down on the green, sometimes using the back wall for a light deflection.  A high tee can help too.  Here’s a great 3-wood from the back center box.  And check out this 5-wood played off the top of the wall, around […]


Royal Cove — Hole #16: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 28th, 2012 • Category: Royal Cove

This is one of the toughest par 3s in the past several years, especially with a pin on the right.  Short = water.  Long = bank off the back = water.  There’s only a sliver of green to work with.  Here’s a dunk to a right pin, and here’s another great hole-out.  Pray for a […]


Royal Cove — Hole #17: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Royal Cove

Oh, what a hole!  A chance to drive the green, but the penalty of being teed right back on the box if you miss.  The ideal setup for this seems to be a spot on the middle or right of the tee box, with a tailwind or even blowing left.  One option is a high-teed […]


Royal Cove — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Royal Cove

This shot is usually doable by curving around the left side and using backspin to hold the green.  Here is a perfect 5-wood backspin around the corner.  This sick low-teed 5-wood cut all the way around to a back right pin.  Here’s a 2-hybrid that played a huge A2-type cut. Sometimes you may not be […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Auburn Glen

With a really good look from the front-right box, you can get pretty close to this green for a short chip shot (some have even driven it) with a huge high-teed A1 driver with roll.  Don’t get too carried away on the first hole, though! Here’s an example hole-out after laying back off the tee. […]


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 […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #3: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Auburn Glen

A 9-wood isn’t necessary here, but it sure can help.  Here’s a 9-wood hole-out playing the wind and loft nicely to a pin tucked up against the hill. Loft is no issue to the right — here’s a 5-iron hole-out to a right pin. VIDEO DEMO


Auburn Glen — Hole #4: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 11th, 2012 • Category: Auburn Glen

The best shot here may be a C2ish driver with backspin.  You can skip if off the water (not preferred, but doable) and/or ram into the hill short of the green (preferred), rolling up and on.   Cutting into the hill kills the velocity — here’s a great hole-out using that approach!  Here’s another low-teed driver […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #5: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Auburn Glen

First, check if you can blast your drive down straight ahead to the second fairway.  If so, you can end up with a fairly straight approach shot. Otherwise, you just need to nail the correct layup spot for a shortcut to the right through the trees — it will take a little practice to learn […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #6: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Auburn Glen

If you’re playing the Flares, you can lay back before the fairway gets too narrow — here’s a great 9-wood hole-out to a back left pin, and here’s a dunk to a right pin. If you want to take the skill and decision making out of this shot, just blast it straight as far as you can. […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #7: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Auburn Glen

Over or under, that’s the question!  The safest shot is usually a low-teed driver straight at the green under the bridge.  You don’t have to hit it as hard as you think either — you should have plenty of loft and distance to carry the water, and you want the ball to stop before skidding […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #8: Par 3

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Auburn Glen

Sometimes higher-lofted clubs can help you float shots in here, especially when the pin is tucked to the right. Here’s a low-lofter to a center pin. VIDEO DEMO


Auburn Glen — Hole #9: Par 5

By • Updated: Aug 3rd, 2012 • Category: Auburn Glen

Most of the time, you should be aiming at the fairway straight ahead, especially with a tailwind!  Take a high tee and see if you can get past, or at least stay left, of the sand traps there.  Here’s a hole-out from the fairway after a long drive straight ahead.  It’s not as far as you think […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Auburn Glen

Nothing fancy off the tee here, just poke it out right and bring in your approach.  Here is a dunk from the fairway!  Here’s another nice hole-out to a back pin. VIDEO DEMO


Auburn Glen — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Auburn Glen

Here’s a tricky hole that will test your skill.  The tee shot to the right is difficult to stick due to the narrow fairway, but you’ll be rewarded with a straight approach shot for an easy birdie if you pull it off — here’s a hole-out from there. If you do play down the left […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Auburn Glen

It’s all about the tee shot here.  Either use a high tee to try to carry the sand to the second part of the fairway, or play a driver cut shot with roll and try to thread the needle past the sand.  You’re good from past the sand.  This driver hole-out uses the hill as […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #13: Par 3

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Auburn Glen

There are a couple of tee boxes here — one shot is longer into the upslope, and one is from the right where the green slopes left.  It’s usually up to the tee, wind and pin to decide whether high or low lofted clubs are better here for the shot into the upslope, but you’ll […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 3rd, 2017 • Category: Auburn Glen

The safest shot for you here is to high-tee a 4 or 5-wood over the top of the barn at the same angle as it runs.  If you miss this shot too far right, the tree guarding the green will halt your progress.  Likely you will clip some leaves but have enough momentum to carry […]


Auburn Glen — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Nov 6th, 2011 • Category: Auburn Glen

If you don’t have a 7-wood or 9-wood, make sure you lay back towards the top of the fairway to the left to use your 5-wood on the approach.  Actually, you can be a bit of the way down the slope for a 5-wood — here’s an example hole-out.  Here’s a 9-wood hole-out from towards […]
