Coconut Beach — Hole #10: Par 4

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: 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 […]

Cape Haven — Hole #1: Par 4

By • Updated: Jan 11th, 2013 • Category: Cape Haven

With a favorable wind, this opening hole can certainly be drivable from the front box.  Here’s a high-teed driver right at it that found a front pin!  A big A1 high-teed driver can work too — here I am driving the green on my opening round here.  Of course, you don’t want to find yourself […]

Cape Haven — Hole #7: Par 5

By • Updated: Aug 17th, 2013 • Category: Cape Haven

You may have to carry 340 or more to reach the green if you play out to the left fairway.  It can be done sometimes, but you also don’t want to get wet trying, and you’ll have to put extra emphasis on your drive to be as far right as possible.  It’s worth consideration sometimes […]


Cape Haven — Hole #8: Par 3

Here’s an ace from the middle box. From the back center box, this one rolled around the hill and found the cup! VIDEO DEMO

Here’s a nice 3-wood from the back right box that carried the green and found the cup.  And this driver curved around the left to suck back into the hole! This driver from the back-center box caught a nice little hop towards the cup. Here’s a 5-wood from the middle box that caught some nice […]


Cape Haven — Hole #10: Par 4

By • Updated: Oct 8th, 2012 • Category: Cape Haven

Nothing wrong with laying up straight ahead, just leave yourself a bit of clearance from the sand mound on the approach.  Here’s an example hole-out. If you get a good setup and really crave a big drive (or if you get the much closer tee box), you can reach the second part of the fairway […]


Cape Haven — Hole #11: Par 4

Here’s a nice one-hop hole-out from the end of the first fairway. Here’s a hole-out from the second fairway after a long drive. VIDEO DEMO


Cape Haven — Hole #12: Par 5

By • Updated: Oct 8th, 2012 • Category: Cape Haven

If you play out left, you need to lay back a ways from the sand mound, otherwise you may not have enough loft to clear it towards the green.  At the same time, you can’t be so far back that a driver won’t even get there in two.  This driver had just enough to clear […]


Cape Haven — Hole #13: Par 3

By • Updated: Jul 8th, 2013 • Category: Cape Haven

This par 3 can be really tough, especially with a bad wind and/or if you have the back box.  Sometimes it’s best to work a very small-cut driver against the wind/slope to hold the green.  Here’s an awesome 3-wood dunk from the back box. Here’s a one-hopper from the front-right box.  This 7-wood found the cup […]


Cape Haven — Hole #14: Par 4

By • Updated: Oct 8th, 2012 • Category: Cape Haven

Club down and hit it hard!  You need as much loft as possible into this elevated green guarded by a hill and pot bunkers.  Short is bad, and long is wet, so you need to nail the distance.  If in doubt, aim for the grassy hill in between the bunkers and hope to hop over […]


Cape Haven — Hole #15: Par 4

By • Updated: Apr 23rd, 2013 • Category: Cape Haven

This hole can be drivable from the front boxes with a high tee and a nice wind.  Here’s an amazing shot from the front-right box that hopped the bunker and almost found the hole!  This one came within an inch of dropping.  With an out-wind, you can also go straight at it with the high […]


Cape Haven — Hole #16: Par 5

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Cape Haven

With a tailwind, blast a long drive down the fairway, where you should have enough to get there in two.  Hit it straight or curve it and try to get past the bridge a ways.  The overhanging bridge can be in play if you hit it too hard, so you’ll want the ball on the […]


Cape Haven — Hole #17: Par 3

By • Updated: Feb 25th, 2013 • Category: Cape Haven

Here’s a nice little ace from the left-center box.  Here’s another ace from the left box. This one got a great deflection from the right-center box. And check out this amazing putt that got a hop off the hill and trickled all the way down and in! VIDEO DEMO


Cape Haven — Hole #18: Par 4

By • Updated: Mar 4th, 2018 • Category: Cape Haven

Here’s a nice 4-wood with backspin from the far right box.  In contrast, here’s a great 7-wood from there as well. This 5-wood rolled in nicely from the center box. Check out this ferocious 3-wood dunk from the back box! VIDEO DEMO
