Pro Tips
| What a way to start the round! Keep the driver in the bag and favor the left side of the fairway to leave yourself a slightly less difficult approach over water. |

Pro Tips
| Another hole where your driver is not necessary, though you must hit it far enough to avoid being blocked out by trees with your second shot to the green. |

Pro Tips
| Watch the U.S. and Texas flag behind the tee box for insight on the wind. This can help with your club decision to a green that is almost completely hidden. |

Pro Tips
| Hit it straight or with a little draw to put yourself in a great position for a layup or to go for it. Wedge play into this green is preferred since the back of the green is guarded by a bunker and captures many a ball that goes long. |

Pro Tips
| Aiming at the fountain in the distance is a good plan on this hole. Too far left is water and too far right you’ll find houses. The approach to this green is uphill and many times into the wind. Play more club to give yourself a chance at a good putt. |

Pro Tips
| One of the longest par 3s on the course is a true test for a long iron. Hit it solid and straight in order to be around the green and make par at worst. |

Pro Tips
| This par 5 will test your tee shot, layup and approach. Try to avoid the trees off the tee, the bunker on the layup and the bunkers on the approach. Do all this and the hole is not that difficult. |

Pro Tips
| Hit it long enough off the tee but short enough to avoid the creek. This will provide you a second shot to a green that is very long from front to back. Depending on where the pin is could be a difference in four clubs. |

Pro Tips
| Turn time! Play to the corner and leave yourself with 150 yards in or aim at the “V” in the pine trees and have less than 100 yards in. Either way, the green can be tricky as it slopes back to front. |

Pro Tips
| Now is where the fun begins on the back nine. Hit an accurate tee shot to avoid the penalty area left and the out of bounds right. Once you get up there, you’ll see the great risk reward view. You can either take it over the creek for a shot at the green in two or go right and layup to the corner around 100 yards out. It’s a tough third shot over a pond to a shallow green surrounded by bunkers in the back. |

Pro Tips
| Aim at the pin and don’t miss right or left. Missing left takes you down a hill that will leave a very difficult up and down. Missing right leaves you a short sided chip. Par is a good score here. |

Pro Tips
| Long and straight par 5 gives you the opportunity to make a birdie before you cross the road and head to the “Horseshoe.” Avoid going long and left by the green. This is where out of bounds comes into play. The green is very long from front to back. Aiming short of the pin is a good play. |

Pro Tips
| Here is where the “Horseshoe” begins. This par 3 is one of the toughest around. A wide green from left to right and a shallow green from front to back makes it tough to hit, especially using a long iron. Be happy with par here. |

Pro Tips
| Short and straight par four seems easy, but things aren’t always as they seem. Hitting straight is a must, and hitting a high approach that spins into the green is also a must. |

Pro Tips
| Trees left and trees right make it a tough tee shot. Find the fairway, and this will help with the second shot into the green. The green is bigger, but has some undulation that can make putting a little fun. |

Pro Tips
| Coming down the home stretch. Another hole with a carry over water. Not a bad idea to take a little more club to make sure you clear the wall. No reason the lose the match on this hole. |

Pro Tips
| Here is where the day concludes. Hit a drive straight away (there’s plenty of room to the left). If you can’t get there in two, give yourself a good layup shot to a green over the creek and surrounded by sand. Close out the match and finish strong. |
