Hole 1
  • For the tee shot, the fairway slopes left, so the best place to aim is on the right side of the fairway.
    If the ball flies too far, the tree in the middle will get in the way, so most pros use a 3W.
  • The green is sloped from side to side, making it easy to stop the ball, but if the pin is at the back, be careful not to aim too hard and go over the green.

Hole 2
  • This hole presents a tough choice: should you safely tee off into the bunker on the right, or be bold and aim to go over the pine trees on the left? Be careful on the right side, as you will go into the woods if you don't stop within 250 yards.

Hole 3
  • The distance is short and the green is easy to see, and there is a deep bunker in front of the green, so your tee shot should be pin-high.
  • The green is back-to-back, so you'll want to carry the club over the bunker and attack boldly without fear of hitting over.

Hole 4
  • This is a straight middle hole with cross bunkers on both sides, so accuracy is required.
  • The second shot is uphill, so you will need a club that is one club larger, but be careful as the green slopes towards the back left, making it difficult to stop the ball.

Hole 5
  • This is a middle hole that slopes to the right with a dogleg to the right, so aim for the left side of the fairway for your tee shot.
  • The card bunker in front right of the green is deep and should be avoided at all costs.
  • The green has a steep slope in front, making it easy for the ball to return.

Hole 6
  • It's a slightly downhill par 4 with a right-hand dogleg, and the tee shot should aim for either over the lone pine tree on the right or slightly to the left of that.
  • The green slopes to the left overall, so you need to be careful of the guard bunker on the left side of the green and the over shot.

Hole 7
  • This is a short hole where the pond in front and the bunkers on both sides are a concern, but the green is large and slopes back from the side, so this is a hole where you'll want to boldly attack the center of the green with a larger club to carry over the bunker on the right.

Hole 8
  • For the tee shot, I was concerned about the cross bunker on the left side, so I hit it to the right side of the fairway.
  • Although the green slopes back to back, it is a two-tiered green, so you need to have a good sense of distance to the pin side.

Hole 9
  • The best place to aim for your tee shot is the right side of the pine forest on the left side of the fairway.
  • The second shot is against a bunker 100 yards in front of the green, and the fairway is very narrow, so it is important to play carefully.
