This dogleg left par four usually plays down wind. The trick is to keep tee shots rightcenter, but in the fairway. A good drive will leave a straightforward mid-iron approach. Bear in mind that the wind will make it difficult to hold this green, which has bunkers in back to catch errant shots.

A good drive over the two bunkers will leave a mid-toshort-iron approach to a wide, slightly elevated green. Beware of the pot bunker in the front.

113 120 120 123 140 145 With a landing area that is (in some spots) less than ten yards deep, the trick to this 3-par is to select the right club and aim for the center of the green. When the pin is on the back right section of the green, the safest route is to keep it left of the pin.

Make note of the yardages to carry the traps. A more conservate route is to play an iron short of the traps followed by another long iron shot which should leave you within striking distance of hitting the green in three.

A straight par 4 with trouble on both sides off the tee. A longleft tee shot will find water. A good tee shot in the right center of the fairway leaves a short iron into this shallow, wide green. Hitting an iron off the tee is the safest and most effective choice.

138 Rule 26-1: A) Play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was played; or B) Drop a ball behind the water hazard, keeping the point at which the original ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with no limit to how far behind the water hazard the ball may be dropped.

It's better to err on the longer side, so take enough club. Beware of the wind blowing from the left. Most shots long will remain in the hillside roughs.

Take plenty of club and don't let the trades fool you into overswinging as an easier swing will typically create a lowertrajectory shot.

The second shot is where you need to use your head. After a good drive, do your best to lay up with whatever it takes to put that ball in the fairway just in front of or past the pot bunkers. A steep, uphill approach shot will require at least an extra club. Landing the ball short of the pin will allow for a bolder putting stroke.

Favor the right side of this fairway on your tee shot. You'll need two more clubs to reach this elevated green. If you fall short, your ball will role backwards down the hill. To play safe, plan to hit beyond the pin. The slope in back of the green will stop the ball.

A long carry to cut the corner, and little room for error on the right side. The best and safest drive is to aim at the directional stake or slightly left depending on the prevailing wind. A second shot from the upper level of this hole is your best bet. You’ll be left with a midiron shooting down to this inviting green.

For the big hitter, a good tee shot puts the green within reach in two. Drive to center of fairway, with the wind at your back, no need to kill it! You can run the ball through the gap of the greenside bunkers, as a deep green awaits.

A short 4 par many will try to drive. Beware of the hazards left. The smart play is to play down the center of the fairway leaving a short-iron approach to this shallow green. Beware of hidden bunkers on the right front. Also, trouble looms over the green.

A good tee shot will favor the right side of the fairway. Be Aware Of The Deep Drainage Basin At The Front Of The Green. If you decide to lay up in front of drainage basin, be aware terrain from 127 yards (tree) to basin is downhill. Don’t hit too much club.

Keep your tee shot left-center. Play your second toward the rightside of large bunker on the left. The goal here is to stay left all the way, as water looms along the right side and the tradewind tends to come from the left. Keep it low, and consider par a good way to finish!
