Should've used these tips...like it would have mattered...
The Front Nine
1. Par 4, 380 yards
From the tee, there is plenty of room on the left side that enables you to avoid the trees on the right. There is a hidden bunker behind the left side of green.
2. Par 3, 175 yards
There is less wind at the green than you will feel on the tee. Safer on the right side of the green than the left. Front of green sits 20 yards from water.
3. Par 4, 354 yards
When Tradewinds blow think extra clubs. OB left is worse than trees on the right.
4. Par 5, 513 yards
Possible to reach in two with wind at your back. Favor the right side of fairway to avoid bunkers and woods on the left. Long approach shots will run off of the back side of this elevated green.
5. Par 4, 354 yards
Driver not necessary on this hole and could bring trees and water hazard into play on left side. With a short approach shot, it's time to think birdie.
6. Par 4, 435 yards
Long dogleg right. Must play a long left to right tee shot to have mid iron into the green. Length, large bunkers on right and left side of green make this the toughest hole on the front side.
7. Par 5, 544 yards
Tradewinds blow tee shots to the right making hole play longer. Tee shots that find the left side rough are big trouble, as the trees will block the second shot. Green breaks fast toward fairway.
8. Par 3, 177 yards
Usually more wind on the green than you will feel on the tee. Front bunker hides a green that is deeper than appears, placing a premium on club selection.
9. Par 4 377 yards
More room on the left side than can be seen off the tee but beware the hidden bunker & OB. Short hole, but think extra club if Tradewinds are blowing on approach.
The Back Nine
10. Par 5, 502 yards
Best to play left to right and aim at trees next to fairway on left side. A tee shot right of the fairway brings trees and bunker into play. Severely sloped green from front to back. Keep approach shots short of pin.
11. Par 3, 166 yards
Right to left Tradewinds will help your tee shots. Balls landing on center of green will run to back.
12. Par 4, 373 yards
This hole plays long into the wind making bunkers fronting the green even more penal. Downhill putts toward front of green will be very fast.
13. Par 4, 377 yards
Beware of the left-to-right Tradewinds that will blow tee shots towards the waste area on the right. Play it safe and aim for the front of green so you don't go long.
14. Par 4, 277 yards
Great risk/reward hole but even if you fly the ball to the green from the tee, it is shallow, sloped front to back and will be tough to hold. OB left, bail out area on right side starts about 75 yards short of the green.
15. Par 3, 180 yards
Down wind shot off of tee makes green tough to hold. All putts will roll towards pond on the left.
16. Par 4, 482 yards
Make sure to avoid the trees and water hazard on the right. Approach shot short of flag is best for an uphill putt. A par here is cause for celebration.
17. Par 5, 496 yards
OB left along entire hole. The "false front" bunker on the right is actually about 75 yards in front of the green. Second shots that clear the false front bunker have a good chance of running up on the green. Greenside bunker on right cannot be seen from the fairway.
18. Par 4, 373 yards
OB left. Aim tee shot at right side of the green. On approach avoid the cavernous greenside bunkers. Severely sloped green from back to front, leave yourself and uphill putt.
