Holes: 18 Yards: 6,571 Par: 72 Rating: Slope: 132

1st Hole

Par 4 · 340

Pro’s Tip:

The first hole features a fairway that slopes from left-to-right with a prevailing cross wind that blows west-to-east. Drives down the left will set up the best angle to approach this well-guarded green.

Tee 1: 340

Tee 2: 330

Tee 3: 323

Tee 4: 306

Tee 5: 252

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 297

Pro’s Tip:

Rated as the easiest hole on the golf course for men, the second can still be a tricky test. Sloping undulation surrounds the green and challenging rough makes an up-and-down difficult. The best angle to approach this green is from the right side of the fairway, regardless of the pin location because of the putting surface that slopes left-to-right.

Tee 1: 297

Tee 2: 291

Tee 3: 276

Tee 4: 262

Tee 5: 225

3rd Hole

Par 4 · 358

Pro’s Tip:

The third is a risk-reward dogleg right par 4. Some of the longer hitters may take a chance at driving the green. Bunkers guard the corner and players will want to avoid the 100+ yard bunker shot.

Tee 1: 358

Tee 2: 335

Tee 3: 331

Tee 4: 255

Tee 5: 255

4th Hole

Par 4 · 365

Pro’s Tip:

An intimidating tee shot awaits on the fourth tee box. Players will want to do whatever they can to hit the fairway and set up the best approach shot. Club selection can be difficult as the elevation change and false front fool most players.

Tee 1: 365

Tee 2: 350

Tee 3: 333

Tee 4: 284

Tee 5: 246

5th Hole

Par 3 · 183

Pro’s Tip:

The fifth hole requires a well-placed shot to the pin side of this two-tiered green. Players will want to watch out and avoid both the greenside bunker on the left and the closely-mown collection area on the right.

Tee 1: 183

Tee 2: 155

Tee 3: 145

Tee 4: 145

Tee 5: 115

6th Hole

Par 4 · 459

Pro’s Tip:

Next is the hardest hole on the golf course, which is also the longest par 4. An ideal tee shot will be down the right side of the fairway, setting up the best chance of hitting the green in regulation. The green is well-protected by bunkers and a pond that catches a lot of balls.

Tee 1: 459

Tee 2: 436

Tee 3: 370

Tee 4: 342

Tee 5: 320

7th Hole

Par 3 · 158

Pro’s Tip:

The seventh is a par 3 that features a bunker and out-of-bounds on the left. Players ought to favor the right side of the green, as it slopes from right-to-left, but need to be aware of the prevailing wind that blows east.

Tee 1: 158

Tee 2: 150

Tee 3: 138

Tee 4: 120

Tee 5: 103

8th Hole

Par 4 · 435

Pro’s Tip:

This par 4, eighth, slopes from left-to-right the entire way to the green. Longer hitters might be able to carry over to the right fairway, but precision will be required. A drive to the left fairway will leave players a longer shot into the green. The green is surrounded by slopes and bunkers, so the best miss is short.

Tee 1: 435

Tee 2: 417

Tee 3: 406

Tee 4: 344

Tee 5: 344

9th Hole

Par 5 · 493

Pro’s Tip:

The front nine closes with the first par 5 on the golf course. Fairway bunkers focus a player's attention to the middle of the fairway. A lay-up to about 100 yards will leave the best angle of attack to this green.

Tee 1: 493

Tee 2: 489

Tee 3: 479

Tee 4: 479

Tee 5: 438

10th Hole

Par 4 · 424

Pro’s Tip:

The back nine starts with a challenging uphill par 4. The tee is elevated and a prevailing west wind means it's best to aim for the left side of the fairway. On the approach, the best place to miss is long because of two bunkers that protect the front.

Tee 1: 424

Tee 2: 397

Tee 3: 370

Tee 4: 311

Tee 5: 311

11th Hole

Par 4 · 306

Pro’s Tip:

The eleventh hole is a par 4 that requires two precise shots to hit the green and make par. A pot bunker in the fairway should be avoided by leaving the driver in the bag. Players will want to leave about 120 yards into this green that features a false front.

Tee 1: 306

Tee 2: 300

Tee 3: 289

Tee 4: 289

Tee 5: 250

12th Hole

Par 3 · 154

Pro’s Tip:

The twelfth provides players with an elevated view of the green and all of the surrounding valley. Swirling winds are fairly common, so players will want to check the trees before picking a club. This green is well-guarded by bunkers and penalty areas.

Tee 1: 154

Tee 2: 141

Tee 3: 138

Tee 4: 138

Tee 5: 122

13th Hole

Par 4 · 414

Pro’s Tip:

A pine tree just right of the fairway provides players with a good target line from the tee box on the thirteenth hole. On the approach, players will want to shoot for the middle of the green to set up the best chance for par.

Tee 1: 414

Tee 2: 404

Tee 3: 370

Tee 4: 311

Tee 5: 311

14th Hole

Par 5 · 549

Pro’s Tip:

This par 5 slopes slightly uphill. The second shot slopes left-to-right, so players will want to keep their ball left to play from the center. The green is well-protected where the best miss is long and left.

Tee 1: 549

Tee 2: 511

Tee 3: 491

Tee 4: 374

Tee 5: 374

15th Hole

Par 5 · 502

Pro’s Tip:

The second consecutive par 5 provides the best opportunity for a birdie. A well-struck tee shot will set up a chance to reach the green in two. The green is two-tiered, so players will want to make sure they're on the right level. Greenside rough on the right is a better miss than the penalty area on the left.

Tee 1: 502

Tee 2: 446

Tee 3: 443

Tee 4: 402

Tee 5: 402

16th Hole

Par 3 · 220

Pro’s Tip:

The final par 3, sixteenth, presents a challenge from all teeing locations. A well-placed bunker protects the green and a penalty area left that attracts a lot of golf balls.

Tee 1: 220

Tee 2: 196

Tee 3: 176

Tee 4: 176

Tee 5: 152

17th Hole

Par 4 · 410

Pro’s Tip:

The seventeenth is Aliso Viejo's signature hole. A narrow fairway and an elevated green come together to create a challenging par 4. The ideal tee shot is placed down the right side of the fairway, which will set players up for the best chance at an even lie. A waterfall and fountain pond frame the raised putting surface that is protected by bunkers and a penalty area on the left.

Tee 1: 410

Tee 2: 403

Tee 3: 387

Tee 4: 318

Tee 5: 318

18th Hole

Par 5 · 504

Pro’s Tip:

The closing hole is a par 5 that requires a tee shot in play for a chance at par or better. Avoid the water on the right and the pond that protects the second half of the hole on the left. The green is guarded by both water and sand, so players must be careful to avoid those.

Tee 1: 504

Tee 2: 496

Tee 3: 469

Tee 4: 457

Tee 5: 410
