Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The opening hole is a par-4 measuring 404 yards. This hole plays slightly uphill and doglegs sharply to the right. While the longest of hitters may try to carry the corner of the dogleg, the safe play is to the left side of the fairway.

On The Green Staying below the hole on approach shots is helpful, as this green tilts severely from back to front. Missing the green short allows for recovery, while missing right, left or long can make for a tough up and down.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The 456-yard second hole can be played a couple of different ways. A more aggressive play off the tee up the left side of the fairway leaves players with a clear view of the green ahead.

On The Green A more conservative tee ball played to the wider portion of the fairway to the right can leave players with an O-Bstructed view of the green and a much longer approach shot. Another green that favors an approach left below the hole.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee The short par-3 third plays 168 yards from the championship tees. Falling off on all sides and heavily guarded by four bunkers, this green begs for an aerial approach shot.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The fourth hole measures 441 yards runs slightly downhill and appears to be rather straight. The crowned fairway feeds balls both right and left in the landing area and demands more strategy than is initially thought.

On The Green A severe false front-right corner of this green makes distance control a premium on your approach shot. Missing to the right or over this green makes for tough recoveries.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee Playing over the corner is definitely an option, and gives players a much more manageable yardage into this uphill approach. Make sure to hit at least one extra club when attacking this green that sits well above the fairway.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This fairway has a lot of humps and bumps that push balls in both directions, and can send them right into the desert if caution isn’t exercised.

On The Green Favoring the left side of the fairway tends to give players a better opportunity to approach this green.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A 265-yard carry to the far cut of fairway up the right side of the hole puts players in prime position to attack this par-5 in two. A more conservative line up the left side of the fairway will ensure safety, but will surely make the hole a 3-shotter.

On The Green A wash running diagonally across the fairway forces players to make another decision; lay up short and leave yourself 150+ yards into the green, or play it over the wash to try to leave a wedge shot in.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Missing the green short-right is not a bad play here, leaving relatively easy chips and pitches into a green that slopes toward you from this angle. Controlling the direction of your tee shot on this hole will be the key to making pars.

From The Fairway

On The Green Players that try to fly it onto this green may end up running through the green and leaving themselves with a very challenging up and down. Balls played on the ground between the left and middle bunker will be rewarded.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway It might be wise to consider laying up to the right-hand side of the fairway, leaving a more favorable angle for your approach shot.

On The Green The mouth of the green is extremely narrow, and the green is heavily guarded by bunkers on all sides and slopes hard from left to right. Shots ending up in the left greenside bunker are faced with a difficult bunker shot to a green that slopes away from you.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The tee shot plays into the upslope of the fairway and also slopes right. Good landing areas are available to the left side of the fairway, which provides an open view around the hole’s dogleg right.

On The Green Approach shots into this uphill green may require a little extra club.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee It also plays imperceptibly uphill; 35 feet from tee to green. This par-5 has a wide landing area off the tee. For the easiest route, play down the right side of the fairway for the entire hole.

From The Fairway

On The Green The grassy swale and pot bunker in front of the green make it difficult to run an approach shot onto this green. Approach shots coming in left of the green will find an easier up-and-down.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee The target is as small as it looks when the pin is in the front, but the green widens quickly for mid and back hole locations. Balls hit long and left run away from the putting surface. Stay below the hole if at all possible.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A very large green sits high above the fairway, requiring one or two extra clubs to reach the putting surface.

On The Green Even the longer hitters will be chipping and pitching into this green on their third shots, putting a premium on where your second shots land. The bunkers surrounding this green are very deep.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway this hole is reachable from the tee if a shot is played up the narrow left-hand side of the fairway. Balls finding that side of the fairway off the tee have a chance to funnel all the way to the putting surface. Tee shots missing the left side of the fairway will be kicked down to a lower portion of the fairway on the right. From the right side of the fairway, this green is extremely shallow and

On The Green A safer approach shot can be played to the front half of this green.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee Approach shots can be played through the air or on the ground into this green. Missing in the left-hand bunker or long of the green is far from ideal as both spots sit well below the surface of the green and force you to play the shot blind.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee The right-hand bunker sits well below the putting surface and up and down from there is harder than it looks. The green slopes away from the back bunkers, making shots out of those bunkers more difficult than one would expect. If you’re not going to hit the green in regulation, missing short isn’t a bad option.

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The finishing hole is 467 yards from the championship tees. Favoring the left side of the fairway allows players to take advantage of a generous downslope .

On The Green A slightly uphill approach to this green may require an extra club, but be careful not to miss this green long.
