Front 9 Quick Tips 1 — Par 3 Trust your yardage, take enough club, and favor the center of the green. 2 — Par 4 Position off the tee is more valuable than distance; leave yourself a comfortable approach. 3 — Par 4 Find the fairway and avoid going long of the green, where trouble quickly comes into play. 4 — Par 4 Stay patient—keeping the ball in play is the key to making par. 5 — Par 3 Use the contours of this Redan-style green and resist chasing a difficult hole location. 6 — Par 5 Plan backward from your preferred wedge yardage and make the third shot your priority. 7 — Par 4 Start this demanding stretch of par 4s with discipline and a tee shot in play. 8 — Par 4 A strong tee shot is important, but hitting the correct portion of the green is even more critical. 9 — Par 4 Favor position and a clear approach over unnecessary aggression off the tee.
Back 9 Quick Tips 10 — Par 4 Begin the back nine by finding the fairway and giving yourself the best angle into the green. 11 — Par 4 Accuracy beats distance here—middle of the green and two putts is excellent golf. 12 — Par 4 Commit to your tee shot and be mindful of the green’s contours on the approach. 13 — Par 4 Allow for the uphill approach, take enough club, and avoid missing long. 14 — Par 4 This short par 4 rewards smart positioning; choose the shot that leaves your favorite wedge distance. 15 — Par 4 One more patient tee shot sets up a strong finish and the scoring opportunities ahead. 16 — Par 5 A good drive opens the door to birdie, but a smart layup is often the percentage play. 17 — Par 5 Another scoring opportunity—build the hole backward and avoid forcing the second shot. 18 — Par 3 Commit to the yardage and favor an uphill putt on this precise finishing hole.
