How to Play This Hole
Anywhere on the putting surface will leave you with a difficult putt. Being cute with your tee shot will undoubtedly keep you awake in the water or “sleeper-faced" bunker.
 
That looks fun :cool:, don't miss left
 
short hole, easiest on the course. no doubt will find a creative way to bogey it.
 
This is a gorgeous looking hole, will be a tester. Really like the layout.
 
Loving the start to Straits and Irish so far, seems like all of the trouble is on the left (which is exactly where I want it to be). Although that may not bode well for the back 9 and having all the trouble on the right and in play for me haha.
 
That looks awesome. In fear of being in the trap I'd probably end up on the back/over the green.
 
And someone got a little behind running a golf tournament this weekend, let's get caught up shall we?

How to Play This Hole
A generous fairway that is partially hidden from the tee invites your tee shot. Don't try to bite off too much of the left-side bunker, which angles away from you down the entire length of the landing area. Dunes left and a huge bunker right make short left the safe approach to the green.
 
This might be the best name for a golf hole ever...

How to Play This Hole
The best options on this target hole are to stay left off the tee, then lay up short of the creek with your second shot. The shot leaves less than 160 yards to the flag and avoids a narrow opening to the green as well as uneven lies found across the creek. Long bunker shots await those who foolishly attempt to cut through the left side to reach the green in two shots.
 
I am falling in love with this course just based on the names of the golf holes.

Stay calm as you prepare to hit this island green, which is completely surrounded by dunes and bunkers. A relatively flat putting surface should lead to a few birdie chances, but par will be welcome if your tee shot misses the island green.

I am falling in love with the course based on the photos! You guys are in for a real treat...and yes the names are awesome.
 
Awesome looking golf holes for sure. You guys are in for some fun times (y)
 
and getting to the middle stretch of the course, another just fantastic name:

Favor the left side off the tee, staying short of the large bunker that dominates the right center of the fairway. A fairway wood or long iron is the intelligent play. Play for the center of the green as trouble lurks in bunkers and a meandering creek guarded by our resident "troll."

jeez every hole is so photogenic.
 
Man this place looks amazing!! Love the hole names haha
 
These Par 3’s have to be some of the most amazing looking holes.
 
And on to the 8th!

Par 5
Handicap: 10

How to Play This Hole
Keep your tee shot down the left side of the fairway. The second shot lay up should be played short of the bunker fronting the entrance to the green, but over the ever-present creek. This leads to a short approach shot to a severely sloped green.
 
And we are finishing the outward 9 already!

How to Play This Hole
Play slightly to the right side of the fairway off the tee. The further left you go, the longer the carry over the creek. Play an extra club on your approach to carry the creek (again) since this green is deep, and all the danger lurks in front.
 
I'm just as excited to play the Irish course as I am the Straits course, we're in for a couple great days
 
And we have made the turn to the back 9.

How to Play This Hole
Make sure to hit the fairway off the tee. Left is trouble as it falls into sand, and right is even more severe in the form of severe dunes and deep bunkering leaving a blind approach. Play one club longer on this uphill approach to ensure you get back to the flagstick.
 
The views of these holes are incredible, the name of #9 is really funny or intimidating I just don’t know which till you guys play. Love the look of how the grass pillars protect the green. #10 looks treacherous down the left hand side.
 
And we continue on with our first par 3 on the back:

Par 3
Handicap: 15

How to Play This Hole
This tee shot is played to a very long, narrow green changing club selection – up to three clubs depending on the hole location. The green drops off right to a large bunker. If you miss left, you will be greeted by two large, coffin bunkers with nine-foot walls that are partially hidden from view off the tee.

Found this for an idea of how it plays. Seems like a large green but left is dead. Short or right might be the play if not confident to get on but there looks to be a lot of real estate to land on putting might be another story.

From the tee the fairway opens left, although the right side of the fairway offers a much better approach angle. Don't miss your tee shot or approach left as this hole drops off up to 25 feet below the fairway and green surfaces. Once again, hit enough club on your approach to get back to the hole.

Pay attention to your pin sheet! The green is over 14,000 square feet. From the upper tees, play one club less with this mostly blind approach. Do not be afraid to hit to the hidden portions of the green from the lower tees. There is another 100 feet of green to the right, while the creek comes into play on the left.
