No.1 Par 5 Yards 573

Tiburón opens with a long par 5. Players are advised to check the distance to the lake off the tee, as it is reachable. Hugging the right side of the fairway will present a chance to go for the green in two. Those laying up should take the water out of play and aim just left of the fairway bunker.

Like the previous hole, the support slope on the right side of the fairway can used to avoid the waste bunker that protects the entire left side of the hole and extends behind the green. The generous green is protected left by the waste bunker and right by a collection swell.

Aiming left of the fairway bunker from the tee leaves an open approach to the large rolling green. The green complex is protected on the left by the large lake that runs along the entire hole and on the right side by the sod-wall bunker.

Wind conditions can dictate club selection on the longest par 3 on the course. The large green is well protected by sod-wall bunkers left and right. Again, playing to the center of the green is the smart move here. Par is a very good score. Wind conditions can dictate club selection on the longest par 3 on the course.

The sixth is the longest hole on the course, and the ideal drive is up the left center of the fairway. Only the longest players can reach the green in two, so laying up on the left side of the fairway near the fairway bunkers leaves the best approach to this small shallow green.

This short par 4 demands a right-to- left drive to find the fairway. Driver is not necessary off the tee since the left side of the fairway leaves the best angle to the small green.

Finding the fairway is paramount off the tee to this long par 4. The right side of the fairway will leave an approach that requires little or no carry over the water. The safe play is to the right center of the green. Don't come up short, as sand and water protect the front and left of the green. Finding the fairway is paramount off the tee to this long par 4.

This short left-to-right par-4 hole gives a player many options off the tee. The conservative play is to lay up short of the left fairway bunkers with a long iron or fairway wood, leaving a short iron to an open green. Those choosing driver off the tee need to play up the right side to avoid driving through the fairway. This short left-to-right par-4 hole gives a player many options off the tee.

No.13 Par 4 Yards 370

Accuracy off the tee is paramount on this short par 4. Like the 10th hole, a long iron or fairway wood is the smart play off the tee. Favoring the right side of the fairway will leave the best approach angle. The distance can be tricky on the approach to this small crowned green.
