Handicap: 6th hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -0.37 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 67% Par 13% Bogey 12% Double+ 8% Man can this green cause some problems! You need to stick the pod containing the flag or else you won’t have a putt, and it’s short enough for wind to wreak some havoc. Here’s where […]

Handicap: 9th hardest hole Category: Difficult Average Score: -1.22 / -2.00  Eagle+ 47% Birdie 31% Par 19% Bogey 3% Double+ You’ll be cutting around the corner with an A1-type shot, but accuracy is more important than distance here.

Handicap: 14th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -1.56 / -2.00 Eagle+ 66% Birdie 36% Par 4% Bogey Double+ The best option, if it’s there, is to blast it down the left side. There’s sand in the fairway to the left, but you don’t necessarily have to be to the right of it — you […]

Handicap: 13th hardest hole Category: Easy Average Score: -0.78 / -1.00 Eagle+ Birdie 84% Par 10% Bogey 6% Double+ This hole has two greens, but neither is very challenging. One green has a bit of slope but is pretty big — here’s a hole-out there. The other green has a trickier shape but is flat […]

Handicap: 11th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -1.33 / -2.00  Eagle+ 40% Birdie 53% Par 7% Bogey Double+ What a cool hole this one is. You can go any of three ways off the tee, and you can reach the green in two from any of them if you place your drive well enough! […]

Handicap: 12th hardest hole Category: Moderate Average Score: -1.43 / -2.00  Eagle+ 60% Birdie 24% Par 15% Bogey 1% Double+ This hole is not as intimidating as it might look. Loft isn’t usually an issue — in fact, most of the time you should NOT use a high tee so that you can apply backspin […]
