From The Fairway It has hosted 3 major titles. The 41 US Open, the 75 Players Championship, and the 91 Womens Open.
On The Green A left to right drive allows you to avoid the bunkers on the left and if you hit a good one you may have a shot to get home in two.
From The Tee The second is a shorter dogleg right by Colonial standards but requires a left to right shot shape off the tee or you may end up in the fairway bunker on the left.
From The Fairway Three bunkers surround the small green so a precise second s required.
From The Tee The next 3 holes are 3 of the toughest on tour and known as the Horrible Horseshoe. The third hole at 467 yards is a dogleg left with 3 menacing bunkers on the left.
From The Fairway These will intercept any shot trying to cut the corner. Avoiding those, youre still left with a mid to long iron. A left to right approach shot will enable you to skirt the bunkers.
On The Green Par is a great score here. Most players will do well to play this as a short par 5.
From The Tee At 252 yards from the tips, hole four is all the par three you could ever want and more. The green is guarded by two bunkers on the front and left.

From The Fairway Remarkably the course record of 61 has been shot by 7 tour pros in events.
From The Tee Hole 6 brings some relief after running the gauntlet over the past 3. Avoid the fairway bunkers left and right on this slight dogleg right and there may be a par in your future here.
From The Tee Fairway bunkers guard the left and right of this 408 yard dogleg right par 4 suggest a left to right tee shot. Careful. Too much to the right and youre smack dab in the bunkers on right.
From The Fairway If you're out of position after your tee shot, the surest way to a big number on this hole is try to carry the lake anyway.
On The Green Two greenside bunkers guard the back for any players playing too safe.
From The Tee Water off the tee on the left doesnt come into play except for very poorly hit drives. its just there as a distraction for the real trouble on this straight away par 4 which lies hidden to the right of the landing area.
From The Tee 11 is a long narrow par 5 of over 600 yards from the tips. Avoid the two fairway bunkers on the left.
From The Fairway Most players will do well to lay up with their second short of the two approach bunkers leaving themselves a short iron from 125 yards as their third.
From The Tee At 171 yards, 13 is the shortest hole on the course but Trinity River which cuts across the front at a 40 degree angle leaves many wondering about distance required to carry.
From The Fairway Long is obviously a better option than short but leaves a tough up and down.
From The Tee At only 382 yards, 17 is one of the shortest par 4 holes on the course. A lake runs along the left of the fairway from the landing area to the green.
