Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee A challenging opening hole that requires an accurate drive across the pond and a precise second that plays two or three clubs more up the long, steep hill to a severely pitched putting green. Renovated putting green now provides challenging front left and back left hole locations. The spring prevailing wind is in your face the entire way.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee Tempting to drive the green for the college players from the upper tee, but the optimal second shot is from about 90 yards to a turtle back putting green.

From The Fairway Fairway bunker on the left must be avoided at all costs, but a drive too far right will leave you stymied by a large oak tree.

On The Green

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A reachable par five for the long hitters, a lay-up to just short of the large fairway bunker at 90 yards out for the rest.

On The Green Any shot to the putting green must be spot on. New front left hole location is demanding, with little margin for error.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The center is still the best target to avoid bunkers front right and on the left. A penalty area well right awaits a stray shot.

From The Fairway

On The Green The putting green, which had been one of the smaller greens on the front nine, is now one of the largest, a full 10 yards longer and wider in the corners.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee There is room off the tee to the right, but the uphill second shot to a shallow, sloping, multi-level putting green is hard to measure, especially when the wind blows down the hill.

From The Fairway The drive zone left is guarded by a difficult fairway bunker that is 20 yards long.

On The Green There are now two very deep bunkers guarding the front right approach to the green.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee The greenside bunkering now pinches in on the corners, so don't get too greedy.

From The Fairway

On The Green Easiest hole on the front nine where a well-placed drive, which avoids the fairway bunkers, will leave a short second to an enlarged putting green.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee The left bunker is extremely deep and will lead to a bogey - or worse.

From The Fairway

On The Green Cross the water to a narrow, saddle back putting green with bunkers on both sides.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee The first of four par fours in a row, from the back tee this one is a beast with the approach guarded on the right by a long,

From The Fairway

On The Green deep bunker known as the 'Pit of Death.' The putting green is sloped more than it appears. Bunkers front left and middle right of the green await as well.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee Out of bounds down the entire left side on this long par four can get into your head.

From The Fairway Requires a long second into a well bunkered, very large, two-tier putting green which is very difficult to read.

On The Green

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee Closest hole to a true dog-leg at Navy, the tenth bends left around two fairway bunkers, requiring a well-placed tee shot, followed by a second that better not come up short.

From The Fairway

On The Green New front right hole location requires a precise second shot over deep bunkers to set up a birdie try.

Hole Name

From The Tee The tee shot is guarded by large trees left and an out of bounds fence running all the way up the right side, just yards from the fairway.

From The Fairway A blind second to a very narrow putting green with steep drop-offs on both sides and behind requires your attention.

On The Green A fairway bunker about 50 Yards. short of the green will create a depth perception prO-Blem, so measure carefully.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee A completely new hole, this reverse Redan par 3- with the green sloping from front left to back right and 38 yards long is the toughest of the four par threes at Navy.

From The Fairway Well bunkered on all sides as well as short and left of the green. If you miss, miss long.

On The Green Tighten your spikes, as there is no let-up from holes 12 through 15 - Navy's 'Amen Corner.'

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee The second of three completely rebuilt holes, 13 is now a three shot par 5. A lengthy carry of a gully is the first shot of three.

From The Fairway

On The Green The second shot, a lay-up, is the easiest shot on the hole. The third shot, likely a short iron or wedge, is to one of the largest greens on the course, with several very challenging hole locations, protected by deep bunkers and steep fall offs. A par is a very good score here.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee With the green, surrounds, and bunkering completely rebuilt, this hole has gone from an easy par 5 to a lengthy, challenging par 4.

From The Fairway A downhill, blind drive is the easy shot on this hole, but you need to be in the fairway.

On The Green Most players will be left with a hybrid or mid iron to a long, narrow green, open on the right but protected by two very deep, penal bunkers left, that must be avoided at all costs. Par is your friend here.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee Straight away from an elevated tee. Originally one bunker on the right, is now two, and they have been moved about 20 yards forward and to the left, pinching in the fairway and presenting more of a challenge for the longer players and less for the shorter ones.

From The Fairway

On The Green The front of the green is guarded by four bunkers and a fifth has been added to the right side. The front left hole location is the most visually intimidating, but front right may be the most difficult once on the green.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee With 'Amen Corner' behind you, you can't afford to be careless here. Off the tee, hit the club that will leave you a second from 125 to 100 yards out, to one of the smallest putting greens on the golf course, well guarded by bunkers front and left. The putting green has a new back left hole location that will tempt you.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee Center of the green will leave a makeable birdie putt to any hole location.

From The Fairway Club selection can be a guessing game when the wind blows. This hole is the least changed of all.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee A tough finishing hole, out of bounds to the right and trees with a sharp drop-off to the left. To complicate your club selection from the tee, a very deep fairway bunker now guards the right side, just short of the 150-yard marker.

From The Fairway Risk driver off the tee to leave a shorter iron, or play it safe with a fairway wood and leave a mid-iron second shot.

On The Green The green is very large - 38 yards long, and well guarded on the right front corner by a deep bunker. A par to finish your round is a jO-B well done.
