3rd Hole

Par 5 · 518

Pro’s Tip:
The third hole is a dogleg right par 5. Favor the left side of the fairway to give yourself the best angle for your second shot. On your approach in to the green, make sure to be on the correct portion of the green as subtle breaks make this one a little tricky to read.

Tee 1: 518

Tee 2: 512

Tee 3: 480

Tee 4: 463

Tee 5: 423

4th Hole

Par 3 · 166

Pro’s Tip:
The fourth hole is a well guarded short par 3 that typically plays into the prevailing wind. With water left and sand traps guarding the right and back portion of the green, this tee shot will need the utmost in precision.

Tee 1: 166

Tee 2: 156

Tee 3: 147

Tee 4: 137

Tee 5: 123

5th Hole

Par 4 · 413

Pro’s Tip:
The fifth hole is a straight away par 4 with bunkers guarding the landing zones on both the left and right. On your approach to this slight elevated green, try your best to stay below the hole in order to avoid a downhill putt. The center of the green is best here as all sides funnel to the center.

Tee 1: 413

Tee 2: 393

Tee 3: 384

Tee 4: 372

Tee 5: 367

6th Hole

Par 5 · 517

Pro’s Tip:
The sixth hole is a dogleg left par 5. A well-placed tee shot on the right half of the fairway will set up a lay-up shot short left of the fairway bunkers. On your approach shot, add a couple extra yards to account for the elevated green and with a slope running through the middle of this green, keeping your ball on the same half of the green as the pin is a must.

Tee 1: 517

Tee 2: 492

Tee 3: 488

Tee 4: 450

Tee 5: 436

7th Hole

Par 3 · 174

Pro’s Tip:
The seventh hole is a short, downhill par 3. Typically downwind and 5 yards downhill, this well guarded green has sand traps and deep grass bunkers protecting three sides. Play for the center of the green.

Tee 1: 174

Tee 2: 145

Tee 3: 141

Tee 4: 122

Tee 5: 119

8th Hole

Par 4 · 372

Pro’s Tip:
The eighth hole is a tricky short par 4. With water in play off the right side of the fairway, the safest drives favor the left half of the fairway. For long hitters who are looking to avoid the water all together, a drive hit to 150 yards will ensure their safety. After a well-placed tee shot, your approach shot is to a green guearded by deep sand traps on both the left and right hand side of the green. With two distinct tiers, make sure your approach finds the correct tier that the pin is on.

Tee 1: 372

Tee 2: 355

Tee 3: 341

Tee 4: 322

Tee 5: 298

9th Hole

Par 4 · 434

Pro’s Tip:
The ninth hole is a slight dogleg par 4 with a bunker guarding the left side of the fairway. A well-placed drive will leave you a mid to long iron to a green well guarded by water and sand traps. Find the correct half of the green as there is a dramatic slope that separates the left half of the green from the right.

Tee 1: 434

Tee 2: 415

Tee 3: 402

Tee 4: 378

Tee 5: 376

10th Hole

Par 4 · 404

Pro’s Tip:
The tenth hole is a short par 4, severe dogleg right. With water all along the left side of the hole, a well placed drive will leave you a mid iron or wedge into this green. Favor the right half of the green in order to avoid the bunker left of the green.

Tee 1: 404

Tee 2: 370

Tee 3: 354

Tee 4: 344

Tee 5: 339

11th Hole

Par 3 · 175

Pro’s Tip:
The eleventh hole is a long par 3 with a small green, guarded by grass mounds on the left and sand traps on the the right. Make sure you favor the front half of the green as this green runs severely from back to front.

Tee 1: 175

Tee 2: 175

Tee 3: 152

Tee 4: 132

Tee 5: 121

12th Hole

Par 4 · 393

Pro’s Tip:
The twelfth hole is a short, tricky par 4. Choose your straightest, longest club off the tee to navigate a fairway that is guarded on both sides by water and sand traps. After a well-placed drive, your short iron will be to a small, double-tiered green that is guarded by water short and right, and a sand trap left. Find the correct tier here as a large slope separates the front half of the green from the back.

Tee 1: 393

Tee 2: 379

Tee 3: 346

Tee 4: 319

Tee 5: 312

13th Hole

Par 4 · 405

Pro’s Tip:
The thirteenth hole is a short par 4 that is guarded by water along the entire left side of the hole. A well-placed drive favors the right half of the fairway. For long hitters, a drive to the 150 yard marker is best to avoid the fairway sand trap. Playing 5 yards downhill from the fairway, this green is heavily guarded with a sand trap on the right, and water guarding short, left, and long. Be sure to commit to your yardage on this one.

Tee 1: 405

Tee 2: 389

Tee 3: 367

Tee 4: 320

Tee 5: 291

14th Hole

Par 4 · 384

Pro’s Tip:
The fourteenth hole is a dogleg left par with a sand trap guarding the left side of the fairway. A well-placed drive favors the righ half of fairway and will leave you a mid to long iron. Regardless of the pin location, a safe approach shot will find the center of the green as sand traps protect the front and right sides of this green.

Tee 1: 384

Tee 2: 374

Tee 3: 369

Tee 4: 350

Tee 5: 340

15th Hole

Par 5 · 494

Pro’s Tip:
The fifteenth hole is a dogleg left par 5. A well-placed tee shot will find the right half of the fairway and leave you a wood to long iron for your lay-up. Water guards the left side of the fairway on your second shot. Find an ideal yardage for your lay-up as this green is guarded on the front and left side by water, and by a sand trap long. Play the approach shot 5 yards further as anything short will find the water.

Tee 1: 494

Tee 2: 481

Tee 3: 451

Tee 4: 442

Tee 5: 433

16th Hole

Par 4 · 408

Pro’s Tip:
The sixteenth hole is a dogleg left par 4. With water guarding the entire left side of the fairway, a well-placed drive finds the center or right half of the fairway. With water guarding the front and left sides of the green, and deep sand traps guarding the right side, the best bail out areas are short right or long.

Tee 1: 408

Tee 2: 387

Tee 3: 324

Tee 4: 313

Tee 5: 306

17th Hole

Par 3 · 208

Pro’s Tip:
The seventeenth hole is a long, downhill par 3. With water guarding the green short, as well as sand traps guarding the left and right sides of the green, the best approaches find the center of the green. Despite it playing slightly downhill, play to the center or back of the green as any ball landing short will find the water.

Tee 1: 208

Tee 2: 190

Tee 3: 167

Tee 4: 139

Tee 5: 136

18th Hole

Par 5 · 545

Pro’s Tip:
The eighteenth hole is a long dogleg right par 5. Favoring the left side of the fairway is a must here as a giant bunker awaits any drive left out to the right. After a well-placed drive, the layup shot should favor the right half of the fairway for the best angle to the green. With deep sand traps guarding three sides of the green, and a dramatic slope separating the left half of the green from the right, a well placed approach shot will be one that leaves an uphill putt.

Tee 1: 545

Tee 2: 474

Tee 3: 457

Tee 4: 426

Tee 5: 409
