Your tee shot here can depend on your confidence in your accuracy with C3 shots.  It’s easy to find the sand, and that will eliminate any chance at eagle.  On one hand, it may be best to blast it past all the sand as far down the fairway as you can, but of course the […]

You can’t get there in two hitting out to the right, so you’ll be playing a small curve around to the left, short of the water, for one of three different types of approach shots. Actually, there is a layup spot ahead in the rough that can give you an open look at a right […]

From the back-right box, there are several options.  Up and around is the safest play because you take the trees out of play.  However, there are gaps there that allow you to go at the green with the right loft and distance — for instance, a low-teed 4-wood works well from the left side of […]

This hole is drivable under optimal conditions — check out this big C3 around the right side that deflected off the rock onto the green!  And this one hopped the sand and nearly buried in the hole. Otherwise, the trees don’t pose much of an issue cutting around to the second fairway off the tee […]

You can rarely drive the green on this par 5!  A big C3 with a helping wind can sometimes carry there.  Here’s another one that found the green.  This C3 hopped over the sand and made it on too. You can also rarely blast a drive ahead to the second fairway with great conditions, which […]

With a good wind and tee, you can carry the hill and drive this green, so check out the setup before laying up in the fairway.  This big C3 driver was oh-so-close to dropping!  But this A1 carried the sand and caught a back cup — amazing!  Finally, this high-teed driver carried the sand straight […]

You can always drive out to the second fairway.  If you’re playing Flares or Ballistas (or have a high-lofted wood), it’s pretty safe to blast away and hit your approach over the trees into the green.  Here’s a 7-wood over the top.  With Ballistas, you can aim back a little farther and take a 6-wood […]

Here’s a driver ace from the back-right tee box.  This 3-wood cut through the trees straight to a back-right pin.  And this 3-wood aced a back-left pin. This high-teed 4-wood played a huge curve around and perfectly into a front-left pin.  With a front pin, it’s often nice to play the hop off the rough […]

You can usually take aim right at this green and play a B1 swerve shot into the green.  This 5-wood found the hole after a nice hop off the front rough.  Here’s a perfectly-played 3-wood ace. Here’s a nice aggressive 4-wood into a back pin! VIDEO DEMO

Most of the time you can blast a drive ahead to the left fairway, getting far enough to leave an open approach shot.  Here’s a hole-out from there. Another option is blasting ahead to the rough area to the right, also leaving an open approach.  There are a few rocks and things that pose a […]

Short holes like this can be challenging because you’ll often have a gap in your clubs and need to get creative.  Here’s a gap wedge that carried into a back pin, and here’s another one with the sand wedge. Big headwinds can make this hole tough and make you consider clubbing up to hit a […]

Here you can either take aim at the green and float a wood out to the right with a B3-type shot, or you can rotate right once and take more of an angle into this green — check out this fantastic 6-wood ace. VIDEO DEMO
