Bella Toscana — 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: Sep 24th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

It’s easy to think you need to clear the river to have a chance at the green in 2, but that usually won’t pay off.  The fairway slopes back towards the mud and water, and you’ll probably get stuck here instead.  The reward isn’t worth the risk, even if you can hit a 7-wood or […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

This hole forces you to make another decision based on the wind and pin placement.  Most of the time, you’re fine going left down low.  Your approach will be way up hill, but unimpeded, and wind won’t affect it much.  So, if you go this route, club up one for your approach.  Here’s a hole-out […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #11: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

From the front boxes, you can clear the neck and the lake towards the bowl of the fairway, and then it’s a decent approach into the green — here’s an example hole-out from there.  It’s not automatic because it all slopes off into the sand, so try to hit the middle of the green.  Here’s […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #12: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

There are two possible greens on this par 3 also, and errant shots here have a chance of backing up onto the green because of the backstop created by the hill behind either green. HOLE-OUT FROM THE BACK LEFT BOX TO THE LEFT GREEN HOLE-OUT FROM THE FRONT BOX TO THE LEFT GREEN HOLE-OUT FROM […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #13: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

You’ll need to hit one of a few green grassy pods out past the fairway in order to reach this green in two.  It’s not easy, and you’ll have to have a good handle on your distances to stick the landing here.  You may also take wind and pin placement into consideration when deciding which […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana, Featured Holes

Believe it or not, this hole is driveable from almost any setup.  Read on! If you’re on the far right box, a 5-wood can get over the corner of the house to the green with a minor C3-type shot — here’s an example. Better yet, if you’re towards the back of this box, the 5-wood […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #15: Par 3

By • Updated: Sep 24th, 2012 • Category: Bella Toscana

This short little par 3 can be very tough, because most club sets have a gap in their wedges, and you’ll find that a lot of times here you’ll be in between clubs!  So, if you’re in between clubs here, you’ll have to hit a 3/4 shot with the longer club, which is difficult.  Don’t […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana

You’ll have a choice here too depending on the wind and tee.  The best option is to clear the lake to the fairway on the other side, which gives you an open approach with your second shot.  If you get the generous front tee (only available in casual play), you can easily clear the lake […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #17: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana

Here is a 5-wood from the farthest right box that the tree cuts down just a tiny bit to make it a perfect shot!  You can try this shot with a 4-wood too if you have it.  I’ve also found that a 7-wood can cut over the corner of the tree with an A2-type shot.  […]


Bella Toscana — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Bella Toscana

A typically tough finishing hole, this green is awful and will take tremendous skill to stick it.  From the right tee box, a driver won’t clear the tree blocking your path, so take this into account. You’ll have an offset look, so you’ll have to be precise with your aim to hold this narrow green. […]

EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Tahiti Cove — Hole #2: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

This should be a pretty good eagle opportunity for you.  If the pin is in the middle of the split green, you goal is to leave your shot pin-high on either side of the split green so that you have a manageable putt. Remember that the shot is downhill slightly, so your drive may travel […]

HOLE-OUT FROM FRONT RIGHT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE MIDDLE-LEFT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM LEFT BOX


Tahiti Cove — Hole #4: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

The best place to be off the tee is just over the water (usually a driver backspin).  From here, you can float a 5-wood over the top of the trees onto the green for an eagle putt!  Here’s a nice 5-wood hole-out from that general area.  If you have a 7-wood, you have even more […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #5: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

There are 3 options off the tee here.  Most often, you’ll be laying back far enough to give yourself a line at the green from farther back — usually a 3-wood for the approach.  Here’s a 3-wood hole-out from laying back. If you have a closer tee box that’s lined up with the gap in […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #6: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Low-lofted clubs are a big advantage here.  With a front pin, don’t be afraid to bounce a low-lofter through the sand with backspin. If you have to use a 9-wood, play the wind as best you can to leave yourself a putt, and rarely use backspin. HOLE-OUT FROM BACK LEFT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM BACK RIGHT […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #7: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

This should be an eagle for you just about every time — here’s how to attack it: First, if you have one of the tee boxes on the right, line up with the green.  You’ll see a landing area a bit over halfway there.  Sometimes a tree impedes the shot, but either way, this is […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #8: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Nothing else to do other than lay up and try to hole-out from there.


Tahiti Cove — Hole #9: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Again — no reason to get fancy off the tee, so poke it out there and nail your approach shot, like this!


Tahiti Cove — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

The decision off the tee here can be perplexing!  Initially it appears as if you’d always want to go to the left, but the Golden Tee course designers were kind enough to ensure that if the tee shot strays to the left a bit, it will roll right down onto the lava rock, which is […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #11: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

With a tailwind, this green can be really tough to stick.  This hole really tests your mastery of distance — good luck!  I love having the 7-wood and 9-wood here, which allow you to float the ball over the hill more easily. HOLE-OUT FROM THE RIGHT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE LEFT BOX HOLE-OUT FROM THE […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Feb 18th, 2012 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Lots of options off the tee here, but I play to the same place almost every time now.  I like to lay up in front of the lava lake, in line with the hole.  From here, you can lob a 5-wood onto the green, like this great shot (love the bubbling lava)!  A 3-wood may […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #13: Par 4

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2017 • Category: Tahiti Cove

Depending on the tee box, this can be a straight shot to a big A1. Here’s a driver hole-out from the middle-left box, and here’s one from there with a 3-wood. Here’s a great 3-wood A1 backspin shot from the middle-right box. From the far right box, you can take an A1 driver around the […]


Tahiti Cove — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Oct 9th, 2017 • Category: Tahiti Cove

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 with the right equipment and wind! EXAMPLE HOLE-OUT


Monument Valley — Hole #2: Par 4

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

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
