Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A tee shot right will usually bounce left and allow for a better approach to the green.
From The Fairway
On The Green Deep bunkers short and left make the right a safe approach. You may want to play an extra club on your uphill approach to the green.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A fairway wood or long iron is the smart play off the tee.
On The Green There is plenty of room right to avoid the water down the left side. Trust the yardage on your approach to this narrow green protected by bunkers front and back.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Anywhere on the putting surface will leave you with a difficult putt. Being cute with your tee shot will undoubtedly keep you awake in the water or “sleeper-faced" bunker.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A generous fairway that is partially hidden from the tee invites your tee shot.
On The Green Don't try to bite off too much of the left-side bunker, which angles away from you down the entire length of the landing area. Dunes left and a huge bunker right make short left the safe approach to the green.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee The best options on this target hole are to stay left off the tee, then lay up short of the creek with your second shot.
From The Fairway
On The Green The shot leaves less than 160 yards to the flag and avoids a narrow opening to the green as well as uneven lies found across the creek. Long bunker shots await those who foolishly attempt to cut through the left side to reach the green in two shots.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Stay calm as you prepare to hit this island green,
From The Fairway
On The Green which is completely surrounded by dunes and bunkers. A relatively flat putting surface should lead to a few birdie chances, but par will be welcome if your tee shot misses the island green.

From The Tee Favor the left side off the tee, staying short of the large bunker that dominates the right

On The Green the green as trouble lurks in bunkers and a meandering creek guarded by our resident "troll."

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Keep your tee shot down the left side of the fairway.
On The Green The second shot lay up should be played short of the bunker fronting the entrance to the green, but over the ever-present creek. This leads to a short approach shot to a severely sloped green.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Play slightly to the right side of the fairway off the tee.
On The Green The further left you go, the longer the carry over the creek. Play an extra club on your approach to carry the creek (again) since this green is deep, and all the danger lurks in front.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Make sure to hit the fairway off the tee. Left is trouble as it falls into sand, and right is even more severe in the form of severe dunes and deep bunkering leaving a blind approach. Play one club longer on this uphill approach to ensure you get back to the flagstick.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee This tee shot is played to a very long, narrow green changing club selection – up to three clubs depending on the hole location.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green drops off right to a large bunker. If you miss left, you will be greeted by two large, coffin bunkers with nine-foot walls that are partially hidden from view off the tee.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway From the tee the fairway opens left, although the right side of the fairway offers a much better approach angle.
On The Green Don't miss your tee shot or approach left as this hole drops off up to 25 feet below the fairway and green surfaces. Once again, hit enough club on your approach to get back to the hole.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee Pay attention to your pin sheet! The green is over 14,000 square feet. From the upper tees, play one club less with this mostly blind approach. Do not be afraid to hit to the hidden portions of
From The Fairway
On The Green the green from the lower tees. There is another 100 feet of green to the right, while the creek comes into play on the left.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee The safe play off the tee is down the left side, although this makes the hole play even longer. A long approach should also favor the left side. Conservative play will allow you to be happy with a par on the most difficult hole on the The Irish.

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee A well-struck tee shot in the
From The Fairway fairway is imperative, as left and right bring "deep" trouble. Dunes and water line the left side, and when approaching the green the fairway drops dramatically right. Avoid the right side on your approach, as a huge bunker dropping 20 feet from the putting surface awaits. Once again, par is a good score.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee This tee shot will test your nerves. An iron or fairway metal off the tee is intelligent.
From The Fairway Water guards the entire left side of the fairway and fronts the green. Dunes all down the right side are intimidating,
On The Green although there is more room here than you can see. Play enough club to carry onto the narrow green.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee If you want to see where to hit your lay-up second shot, keep your tee shot left. A second shot layup, which carries the creek, leaves a short but blind uphill approach.
From The Fairway
On The Green A layup short of the creek leaves a longer approach to an elevated green. A smart play is to aim for the center of the green. Missing the green on either side will cost you more than a “black and tan” in the Irish Pub.
