On this great starting hole, everything slopes to the right so be sure to hit your tee shot to the left side of this fairway. If you can avoid the series of bunkers on the right you will set yourself up for a good chance to make par.

Any tee shot down the right side will not have a view of the right half of the putting surface. A lone bunker set into the back of this amphitheatre green complex plus a fall off on the front left corner will catch anyone who errors too far to what they perceive as the safe side of the green.

On this picturesque par 3, be sure you go off the yardage it is playing as this hole does not play shorter because of the downhill elevation change. You can still make par if you end up short, but bogey will be a good score if you go over this green.

On this great risk reward par 4, the suggested tee shot is a mid to long iron which will leave you a short wedge into this narrow green. For those risk takers, you had better be accurate off the tee as the out of bounds surrounds this green.

This tee shot can be very intimidating as you stare down the wall of bunkers on each side of the fairway. However, avoiding the bunkers will be the least of your worries. Even two great shots to this green won’t guarantee you a par as this green is the most undulated on the course.

This long par 3 is the only par 3 on the course with water on it. A bail out area has been provided to the right along with a bunker over the green to catch those aggressive tee shots.

With a generous landing area from the tee and at just over 500 yards, the seventh hole doesn’t seem that difficult until you are faced with the approach shot to the green. A bunker on the right pinches in the approach and a shot from the right side of the fairway leaves you with an awkward angle.

The fairway here is wider than what it appears from the tee. Aim down the left side of this fairway to set up a better view to the green. Make a mental note of the 20 yard wash that splits this fairway from 80-100 yards out.

This is another tee shot where you have more room off the tee than it seems. Avoid being short on your approach shot as there is a false front and deep bunkers.

This green complex has trouble all around it. A false front will roll your tee shot off the green if you are short and a five foot bowl will gobble up anything long and left. To play it safe, aim for the center of the green no matter where the pin is located.

At 585 yards from the back tees, this is our longest and most challenging par 5. A bunker on the right side of the fairway narrows the landing area on your tee shot. The fairway opens up for your approach to the green.

This hole has a large fairway with strategically placed bunkers and a wash area in front of the green that can’t bee seen from the tee. The green complex is elevated and has a lot more room to the right that it appears. Make sure you take enough club on your approach to carry the wash.

A pretty straight forward par 3. As with the others, be sure of your yardage. Anything long and right will end up in the deep bunker over the green. There is a large “safe zone” in front of the green which will leave you an easy up and down.

This hole should play the longest of all the par 4’s. A wash protects the right side of the tee shot and then three bunkers need to be negotiated before finding the largest green on the course.

At first glance, the scorecard will lead most to believe that this hole will give most players the easiest birdie opportunity. Once on the tee, the thought of reaching this little par 5 in two is gone from one’s mind with the exception of only the longest hitters. The putting surface is invisible for all approach shots, which will add some doubt and difficulty to the hole.

Accuracy and distance control is required on the tee shot as there is a large transition area that splits this fairway. A 70 yard bunker guards the right side of the fairway and another monster bunker guards the left side of the green. Take a moment and enjoy the views from this green.

Tom Lehman classified this par 3 as one of his favorite holes. A slightly elevated green, with bunkers surrounding all sides and a bail out area on the right for those who don’t want to be aggressive.

On this slight dogleg left, there is one of the widest fairways on the course with mounds on both sides to let you swing with confidence. Your approach will leave you a shot over a desert hollow and another large bunker. Trust the fairway yardage and keep it below the hole.
