Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The opening hole is a par 4 that features a lateral hazard that cuts into the fairway on the tee shot

On The Green Longer hitters can take their shots over a series of bunkers on the left to a fairway that opens up. Bunkers guard the front, back, and left side of this predicable green.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This short par 4 may tempt some to lay-up off the tee, but the fairway widens closer to the green, so driver is often a solid play.

On The Green A lateral hazard runs up the right side of the hole and out-of-bounds guards the left.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee The third is the first par 5 and the hardest hole on the golf course.

From The Fairway

On The Green It’s a three-shot hole, due to the sharp dogleg left off the tee and a pond that sits in front of the green.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The green on this par 3 is long, thin, and angled at 45 degrees

From The Fairway

On The Green Bunkers protect short and left of the putting surface, while anything long can also bring in high numbers.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee An uphill tee shot to a generous fairway awaits players on the par 4, fifth hole.

From The Fairway

On The Green The second shot is also uphill, but this time it’s a blind one into the green that slopes back-to-front.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee A left-to-right ball flight is ideal off the tee on this long, downhill, dogleg right par 5.

From The Fairway Aiming at the left side of the right fairway bunker will kick down and leave a relatively short second shot.

On The Green The green is flat and is guarded by a lateral hazard on the backside.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee The tee shot on the par 4, seventh looks like it will land in the middle of a bunker minefield.

From The Fairway

On The Green A good line is to take it at the bunkers with a left-to-right ball flight. Lateral hazards approach quickly on the right side and approach shots are better off missing long than short, due to a false front on the green.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee The eighth features an intimidating tee shot over a water hazard that runs from tee-to-green.

From The Fairway

On The Green Bailing out long and left is the best option from the tee, but that’ll even leave a tough up-and-down for par.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee The final hole on the front nine is a long par 4 that demands two excellent shots to reach the green in regulation.

From The Fairway

On The Green An aggressive line off the tee is at the bunker on the left that flirts with the out-of-bounds. The safe play is to take it down the right, though that’ll leave a longer approach. This green is surrounded by bunkers front and back with Coto’s version of the “Valley of Sin” in front.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee The back nine opens with a long par 3 that typically plays into the wind.

From The Fairway A waste bunker protects the right side of the fairway while a lateral hazard protects the left.

On The Green The green slopes back-to-front and plays slower than it appears, due to Santiago Peak.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee A tee shot that moves left-to-right, away from the lateral hazard that lines the left side of the hole, is a solid play off the tee.

From The Fairway Fairway bunkers protect the right side of the hole, so those must be avoided as well.

On The Green The green is fairly large and one of the flattest on the course.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee The twelfth is a risk-reward par 5 that requires a strong tee shot to reach the green in two.

From The Fairway

On The Green A small pond sits on the right with bunkers up the left, both easily visible from the tee. Another pond is situated on the left around 115 yards out all the way to the very front of the green. Finally, the green features a lot of subtle break that players will have to pay close attention to.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee Drives down the right side of the fairway will leave an open shot into the green on this par 4.

From The Fairway

On The Green A long bunker front-right guards a green that is sloped back-to-front.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee An accurate tee shot down the left side of the fairway, avoiding the lateral hazard on the left, is required on the par 4, fourteenth.

From The Fairway

On The Green Anything too far right will have a blind shot in to this thin green that’s protected by one bunker on the left.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee There’s a great deal of trouble on this short par 4. Off the tee, players need to avoid a series of bunker son the right and a lateral hazard on the left.

From The Fairway

On The Green The further left a player goes off the tee, the better angle they’ll have into the green. Two bunkers protect the front and left of this putting surface.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee The final par 3 features a “semi” two-tiered green with a pond sitting about 20 yards in front.

From The Fairway

On The Green Pins in the middle and front are easily accessible, but players should be cautious with a pin located on the smaller back tier.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee Some players may be able to drive this short par 4

From The Fairway if they take their tee shot directly at the green, but that’s more challenging than it appears.

On The Green The green is elevated and protected by bunkers, so a drive that misses the green will have a tricky pitch. Other players may opt to hit a long-iron off the tee, which leaves a wedge approach in.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee The finishing hole on the South Course is a long, but reachable, par 5 that doglegs to the right.

From The Fairway Tee shots must favor the left side of the fairway,

On The Green otherwise the player will be blocked out by trees that run up the right. If deciding to lay-up, players will have to decide which of the split fairways to hit. The left is more generous, but leaves a more difficult approach into the green. On the other hand, the right fairway is harder to hit, but leaves an easier third. A lateral hazard and bunkers long guard the green, so the best miss is short.
