GOLD 393

ANA 393

BLUE 375

Pro Tips

Par 4 – A severe dogleg-left. Players who choose to go for it have to carry water and a row of palm trees. A safer tee shot is to the landing area down the right side. The well-trapped green slopes severely from back to front, causing most players to attempt to keep the ball below the hole.
