A short downhill Par 3, hole number 5 is uniquely deceptive. Built in reverse after the 12th at Augusta, 1 pot bunker in front and 2 big bunkers guard the back, a shot that finds the green will allow for a good look at birdie. But missing the green will put a player’s short game to the test. Enjoy the view out over the water, hit a solid short iron, and live to tell that you survived our signature hole.
This tee shot is one of the most difficult shots on the course. From the back tees, it plays as a dogleg left with a blind tee shot to the fairway. From forward tees it’s a straight tee shot looking right at the green. Regardless of what tees a group is playing, left is major trouble. Many will bail out to the right which can create problems with tress obstructing the approach shot coming in. Ideally, finding the left side of the fairways presents the best angle coming in. The green slopes severely from right to left and can impact approach shots. But don’t let this description scare you…. Two good shots and it’s a birdie hole!
The Par 5 12th is a beast. There are a few options for players to consider off the tee. Bailing out to the right is the safest option but will likely mean a layup short of a creek that splits the hole into two distinct landing areas. A layup short of the creek will leave 150-175 yards coming in. A second tee shot option is to aim at the cattails and attempt to clear the bunkers. Any kind of miss hit will likely find the bunkers. If the bunkers are cleared, the player is left with 220-240 left, leaving the players with a choice. They can bust out 3 wood but that can bring the woods on the right into play. A long iron or hybrid will clear the creek easily and leave the player with 80-100 yards coming in for their 3rd. The green has a severe bowl just on the other side of the greenside bunker. Any shot that finds the slope of the bowl will be collected in the bottom of it. (which is great if the hole is in the bowl)
The Par 4 15th is the hardest rated hole on the golf course and for good reason. It’s a 420+ yard Par 4 (470 from the tips) that plays uphill, and almost always into the wind. This hole is an absolute beast even for big hitters. Be prepared to hit driver followed by a long iron or even a fairway wood.
Big hitters can take aim at this green. A reachable Par 4 that is very much risk/reward. If the drive finds its way into either greenside bunker however, there is quite a bit of work to be done to make Par. There is a collection area to the left of the green that is a safe landing zone giving you an approach shot looking right at the pin. The conservative play is a simple long iron or hybrid into the fairway leaving the player with a short iron in.
To the eye, this Par 3 doesn’t appear to be all that difficult. Like any par 3, a well struck tee shot set up a birdie look. But if a player misses the green here, bogey is very much in play. There are bunkers on the left and right hand side of the green that will definitely get your attnetion. Long and left will send the tee shot into a tight lie collection area, making for a fun little up and down.
