Hole #10 "Rocky Road" - Par 4
This par 4 may have a little more bark than bite to start off the back nine.
Driver may not be the best choice off the tee as the water runs down the left
side of the hole. A tee shot down the left side of the fairway will leave you
with a short iron to this large green.
Big hitters may be able to carry the left fairway bunker to this reachable 504
yard Par 5 dogleg left. Be careful with club selection on your approach to this
downhill green as it may play shorter than the yardage suggests. This hole may
be a great chance for Birdie or Eagle!
A long greenside bunker to the left of this hole will make for a tough up and
down on the first Par 3 of the back. Beware of the wind conditions as it will
influence club selection.
A driver off the tee may get long hitters into trouble as the creek will come
into play. A shot anywhere in this large fairway will a mid iron to the green.
Try to avoid the two greenside pot bunkers on the right with your approach shot.
The shortest Par 3 on the course has a forced carry over the environmentally
sensitive area and creek. Pay attention to pin placement on this large green to
ensure no more than a two putt.
Yardage = / 158 / 147 /
*136-117 / 84
*Large tee - 136 back, 117 front - 2 locations shot in.
This hole measures the longest of the Par 4's on the course playing 462 yards
from the back tee. Two good shots will leave you with a manageable putt on this
relatively flat green. Take a moment to enjoy the surroundings while standing on
this green nestled in between the cliffs.
Any shot to the left of this fairway will bring bogey into play on this grueling
Par 4. If you can keep it in the fairway, an extra club for your second shot may
be advisable to this uphill green.
Quite possible the most spectacular scenery of all the holes. This tee shot will
play at least one club less due to the elevation change down to the largest of
the green's on the course. Avoid trouble on all three sides of the green and Par
should result.
Take your Gamble on the Par 5 finishing hole. Aim your tee shot at the two
fairway bunkers and allow the natural slope of the fairway to funnel your ball
towards the center. The lay up area is quite narrow so an accurate shot is
required to set up for your third for a closing birdie opportunity.
