CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSE

A straight but difficult opening par 4. A drive just left of the fairway bunkers will leave a mid-iron approach. An accurate approach shot is necessary to this narrow green protected by deep bunkers left and behind.

This dogleg-left par 5 is the first good birdie chance. Long hitters can cut the dogleg and get home in two. The green is very deep and elevated, an extra club may be required on the approach.

This is a long, difficult par 4 with trees on both sides. A solid, accurate drive will leave an uphill long-iron approach. The green is slightly elevated and divided in the middle by a large wale. Up and down from the right side is difficult.

The first par 3 requires a short to mid-iron to a green that is wider than it is deep and protected by bunkers on all sides. Get an accurate yardage and aim for the centre of the green.

This short par 4 offers a good birdie chance. The drive has to fit between the fairway bunker and the lone oak tree. A solid drive leaves a short-iron approach to a deep, two-tiered green.

Another demanding par 4 where par is a good score. A drive just right of the fairway bunkers will leave a mid-iron uphill approach. The right side is protected by a large, deep bunker that requires an extra club to carry.

This par 3 is as difficult as it is beautiful. Water left and bunkers right protect this very large, three-level green. Balls that land short will not run up. Another hole where centre of the green and two putts is a job well done.

This short, strategic par 4 requires an accurate tee shot aimed to stop in line with and short of the farthest fairway bunker. The approach is slightly uphill and an extra club may be required.

This long par 5 requires a sold left-to-right tee shot out of a chute. The clubhouse front entrance makes a good target for the blind second shot from the centre of the fairway. The third is a very long, three-tiered green, when the pin is back add two clubs.

This back 9 starts with a great dogleg-right par 4. Long hitters can challenge the fairway bunkers — aiming left of them is recommended. The approach shot is to another elevated three-tiered green that’s difficult to read.

A solid drive left of the fairway bunker is needed on this long, uphill par 5. From the top of the hill, the second shot is downhill to a fairway that widens right. Approach shots from the right have a much better chance on this severely left-to-right sloped green.

Pause on the 12th tee to enjoy the breathtaking view of the back 9 and the ocean — but don’t relax for too long as a difficult, long par 3 awaits. A tee shot aimed slightly left of your target is recommended as everything on this hole fails to the right.

This is a wonderful par 4. Bunkers and fescue grass down the left and a deep forest on the right frame this dogleg right. A solid, left-to-right tee shot fits this fairway well and for a short-iron approach. Steep mounds make saving par no simple task.

The Super recommends a long iron from this tee, the Pro says driver. There are two fairways to choose from, divided by a plateau. Avoid the left side or your ball will find a deep water marina. This green plays like two with drastic elevation change.

This short, scenic par 3 plays extremely hard when the wind picks up off the water. Close-in bunkering on both sides places the emphasis on finding the right line. Commit to a club and aim for the centre of the green.

“Wow” is the most common reaction when people step on the back tee here. The tee shot is a short carry over an inlet of water to a generous landing area. The second shot is to a small, elevated green that gets firm as the day goes on.

A gorgeous dogleg-left par 4 that offers fantastic views of the rugged coastline. Tee shots should be aimed down the left side to cut some yardage off. The approach is to another firm, elevated green that falls off on both sides.

A classic risk/reward par 5. Long hitters can carry the corner of the water leaving an iron for the second. The little piece of fairway left can get home in two as well. The green is massive with over 6 feet of elevation change. Take extra clubs if pin is back.
