Here’s a chance to start your round with a par, though the severity of the green may protect against a birdie. The tee shot calls for a fairway wood or long iron, followed by a wedge to the green. Do your best to stay below the pin for an uphill put, as the green can be slick downhill.

Treat this hole as a bonafide 3 shot par-5 and you will walk away satisfied. Even shot is uphill and your approach to the sloping green must be precise. The green is protected on the right by a quartet of bunkers and a tall mound behind. Avoid recovery shots from the mound above the green at all cost, Try to stay below the hole on your approach.

A ridge running diagonally across the front lobe of this tricorner green separates
the men from the boys, as the back side tends to fall away. The premium is on good clubbing and high approaches that will stop fast.

Risk and reward runs from tee to green on this daunting long hole. Risk running into the bunkers right or running out of fairway beyond and the reward is long carry shortcut across a deep ravine to a two-tier green. Even laying back and left affords a potentially rewarding long shot if you can thread the needle in the narrow neck in front of the green.

A well placed drive will carry over the bunkers and end up on the lower half of the dual fairway, leaving a wedge in on a perfect line. Bailing out onto the upper left fairway will leave a very delicate approach to a green that tends to follow the slope of the hill strongly from left to right.
