1A spectacular start to your round of golf. From the elevated tee, observe the flag position over the green-side bunkers (this information is worth noting for longer hitters, as theIf playing for the green in three, place the second shot right of the bunkers short of the green. Being past the cavernous left side bunkers in two (or to right of them) is advisab2Sometimes reachable in one if the wind is at your back, this short par-4 will tempt and tease your strategic thinking from the tee. A conservative tee shot, played left of the centOn the other hand, some will be tempted to attack the green along the right half of the fairway. From this side the approach requires tighter distance control, but does offer a betThis hole was one of the first designed by Tom Doak, who was drawn to this hole location by the giant blow-out sand dune that runs up the left-side of the approach.3Shorter hitters should play left of centre from the tee to open up the view of the green here. Longer hitters can create an easier approach by biting off some of the dogleg to the Bite-off too much though and you may get caught in the dunes with little hope of recovery. Whatever line you take, the approach shot on the 3rd is one of the best on the property, Anything slightly left of the green here will run down onto a large, undulating putting surface and is the best place to miss. 4One of the most intimidating tee shots on the peninsula, and a hole that generally plays longer than its measure. Long and left is the best strategy for consistent pars – anythin5The view from this tee will have you salivating and hungry to take it on. The target area and character of the downhill drive changes constantly with the wind.With huge expanses of bail-out space to the right, a long-iron in is not the worst result here with a relatively benign green complex. Any shots landing short of the green will relLand a strong drive just over the left-side fairway bunker and you’ll be rewarded with the perfect angle in, wedge in hand. And a tee shot that you’ll be talking about afterwar6Don’t look too hard at those nasty, gnarly bunkers, clawed into the landscape, and perfectly positioned for the short-right miss. Admire briefly, then try and forget about them.Just take an extra club, take-aim and fire to the brilliant concave green – a good hit will always be rewarded here and anything long should feed back down to putting surface.Take a little extra care reading your putt here too – the surrounding landscape tends to throw some golfers off their line.7After the seclusion and protection of the 6th, we now bust out onto the exposed, elevated 7th tee, with views back across to the 1st hole and a peek of what’s to come on the 8th.The joint fairway here presents a massive landing area of short grass, and multiple options of line for the longer hitter. The best angle of approach is generally from the left sidA huge, two-tier green will tempt you throw it past the pin and roll-back down – but be cautious of this approach as the slope can sometimes hold the ball in a precarious locatio8In terms of accuracy, this one’s a little more testing from the tee – keeping a line tight to the left-side bunker is ideal as everything falls to the right.Distance control on the approach is paramount – an approach with height/spin will be the best percentage play. Long and left is probably your worst result – the run-of area can9Another gem in this stretch of four par-4’s. Thread the needle from the tee between the natural contours – the approach can be played cunningly using the slope beyond the greenAnother test of short iron control on the approach. Do not miss the green right, and beware of the run-off area to the left – it’s not an easy chip from down there.10From the tee it appears centre-right is the line, but to be placed centre-left from the tee makes a challenging approach somewhat easier.A high, soft-landing approach is rewarded consistently on a smaller green that is nothing short of a magnificent piece of work.11Again, a controlled ball flight is rewarded on this par 3 that calls for a soft landing shot. Add an extra club to your calculations – short or short left from either tee present12A sucker tee shot – don’t try and bite off too much or trouble awaits. Approach shots landing short will bounce hard right into trouble – best to fly the ball well onto the g13A blind tee shot on the longest par-4 on the course, 13 is a hole that will have you wanting to take it on again and again. Look for the post corresponding to your tee box for the Drive with maximum carry – if you get some luck with the huge undulations on this fairway, a big distance is in play. If the green can’t be reached in two, best play for a stea14One of the most photographed holes on the course, the 14th offers a tantalising chance at going for the green if the on-shore ocean breeze is blowing.Otherwise, driver may not be the club, as the challenge here is keeping your ball out of the huge valley on the right side of the fairway. Keep it up the left side, and the approach is relatively simple – fall to the right and you will not even see the top of the flag stick.15The bunkerless 15th looks relatively benign, and plays that way if you hit your targets. Drives and approaches to the green will bounce once or twice to the right.16Anticipate your tee-shot feeding forward from the right side and kicking to the left if you elect to play for a running style shot.The shot can be longer than it looks as the first left side bunkers are set short of the green. The green will hold an elevated shot. Left is dead, or at best a very difficult up-a17The start of the run home is another spectacular tee shot. An entertaining hole where your options constantly change depending on the wind and perhaps the state of your match.If there’s a rule here, it’s ‘don’t go left on the second shot’ as you’ll be blocked out from the tricky green complex. There is plenty of variety in pin positions that are all best handled from centre/ right if not attempting heroics with the second. The second rule here is ‘don’t go long and l18With the wind generally at your back, the beautiful 18th encourages you to go for one-last heroic tee-shot. The right-side will offer more roll on the drive and put a wedge in handAvoid the bunker short-right of this green and you should be looking at a birdie putt. Tom Doak’s final green is nothing short of magnificent – a memorable finish en route to t
