With temps in the 80's nearing the low 90's, playing firm and fast is again the norm. 1 club wind most afternoons and the weather has been about perfect most days. The layout is lush and in excellent ... Continue »

Par 3 with a huge green that is firm and often difficult to hit and hold. 3 club green from front to back. Easy tip on this hole is do not miss left. Huge bunkers or a penalty area await any shots left that are well below green level. Just getting a chip or sand shot on the green is often a good shot from down there. The preferred miss and bail out area is right... even well right. The lay of the land encourages shots well right toward the green. You can make at worst a 4 and still make 3 from right of the green. You are bringing double or worse into play when you get down in that depression left of the green.

Tough hole that often plays into the prevailing wind. Over water or water all along the right on your tee shot depending on the tees you play. Trees to avoid on the left or you can be blocked out going for the green. Getting the tee ball in play with a look at the green a much higher priority than length off the tee. Green runs away from you and slopes severely left to right on your approach shot and guarded by 2 deep bunkers up front. Even what appears to be solid iron shots often roll off this green. A miss left is safe/in play even though it leaves a difficult chip. A miss right can easily trickle down the hill into a penalty area. Club your approach to barely get over the bunkers in front or you can go well over this green by the time the ball quits rolling. Any par for me on this hole is an excellent score.
