The Tee shot is hit from high above the hole, so take at least one club less. The green
is large and receptive,which is why its
a stroke 17.

If you're a long hitter, have a crack at clearing the bunkers which will
open up the green. This narrow, long green creates a challenge with even
a short iron in.

There is more space in the fairway than it looks off the tee. A tee shot that
requires placement is necessary here and will leave you with
a mid to long iron into a green in which you
want to remain on the right side.

The best route here is to take the fairway bunker on the left, leaving a much easier
approach into the green. The water hazard is intimidating, but
shouldn't present too much of a difficulty
if the approach if from the left.

A tough driving hole that requires a long and straight tee ball. The longer
You are up the fairway, makes for an easier angle
to the green where avoiding
the bunker on the right is
a must.

A great par 3 with water encroaching on the right. You will want to keep left on this shot, but don't be too conservative as there is a nightmare bunker on the
left side of the green.

Consider laying up short of the bunker on the right, as this is the best route to the green. The longer
hitter can clear the bunkers off the tee, which is the
preferred approach to this sloped green!

Left here is trouble! Do not be suckered into firing at the pin if it is placed on the left side of the green. Balls that pitch on the
right half of the green will tend to feed left, so this is the
smart play.

Certainly one of the toughest holes on the course, this long par 4 requires a tee shot down the
right, which will leave a more open green in which leaves a long
iron or hybrid into a long narrow green.

Keeping your tee shot a little right here will leave you with an ideal approach
to the green, taking the greenside bunker largely out of play.
It may be a good idea to take an extra club
to this raised green.

tee is crucial which will leave you a short iron into a very wide green. Club selection
