| Hole | What Makes It Special | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| #3 Par 3, 205 yds |
Signature hole, with a 75-foot drop from tee to green | Take at least one less club for the drop and check the wind |
| #4 Par 4, 490 yds |
The #2 handicap hole and the longest par 4 on the course | Play it safe; a par here is a win |
| #5 Par 4, 352 yds |
The closest hole to the Sea of Cortez, playing across a gap toward the beach | Position off the tee matters more than distance |
| #6 Par 3, 223 yds |
Green on a bluff over the ocean | Ocean breeze changes club selection, so commit to the middle of the green |
| #10 Par 5, 521 yds |
Nine bunkers, playing downhill toward the sea | Map out your layup to stay clear of the sand |
| #14 Par 4, 454 yds |
The #1 handicap hole, at the course’s highest point (about 500 ft), winding through a narrow canyon to a cliffside green | Accuracy over power; a long iron off the tee is often smarter |
| #15 Par 3, 211 yds |
Guarded by five bunkers | Aim for the fat part of the green |
| #17 Par 4, 361 yds |
Short par 4 and the #17 handicap hole | Your best birdie chance on the back nine |
| #18 Par 4, 417 yds |
Elevated finish with a lake on the approach | Take enough club to carry the water |
