| NO.1<The Sneed> Par 5 |
Tee off at a long hole along the broad fairway where an eagle opportunity is possible.
A centered tee shot followed by a 2nd shot onto the right side of the fairway would give you a favorable opportunity to get home in 3. If you have confidence in the flying distance then the tee-shot should be positioned over the right-side bunker, and if the 2nd shot avoids the left OB, you may aim for an eagle. The rear side of the vertically long green is a risk-free area.

|
| NO.2<The Rodriguez> Par 3 |
| A short hole, with a beautiful lake and beach bunkers located on the front-right
of the green. Precision shooting is required even in the wide-open green
area. When the flag is on the right then a perfect shot right over the
lake is required. However, careful attention should be given to wind blowing
from the right side of the green as the left side of this hole is OB. The
green slopes dwonwards from the rear to the front and has a gently undulated surface.
|
|
|
| NO.3<The Sarazen> Par 4 |
| A middle hole, with a downhill tee shot followed by an uphill approach.
The second shot to this green is not easy, especially with trees located
on the left side of the fairway and the left OB, and thus the tee shot
should be positioned a little bit to the right of center. Taking one more
club, the second uphill shot should be positioned to the apron avoiding
the right-side bunker. The smaller, elevated green is flat. The rear side
is safe.
|
|
|
| NO.4<The Casper> Par 5 |
| Straight, wide and long hole. From the teeing ground - which gives you
sweeping views of hole 5, surrounded by a lake, and hole 6 - the tee shot
should be positioned centrally, avoiding both right and left side bunkers
that guard the fairway. The second shot should be positioned slightly to
the right, away from the left-side tree (taotaomona). The ideal putting
positions is from the front towards the rear of the vertically long green.

|
| NO.5<The Ford> Par 4 |
| This featured hole is short-distanced yet challenging due to the island
green. The tee shot should be positioned to the center of the wide-open
fairway. The large Downhill (16m) has a following side wind. A pond is
295 yards from the blue tee. Improving your distance as far as possible
and then using the carry of your best shots to get home in 2 are keys to
success on this hole. It has a flat green with a small shelf in the rear
side, but with the lake waiting at the rear, going over the green should
be avoided at all costs, and a precise lob shot is a definite requirement.
|
|
|
| NO.6<The Littler> Par 3 |
| This is also a featured, short-distance, hole, with a waterfall reflecting
“Talofofo Falls”, which is a noted tourist spot in Guam. Strong following
wind are often present. The green tilts upwards from the front to the rear
with a slight undulation.
|
|
|
| NO.7<The Moody> Par 4 |
| Dogleg gently right towards the mid-distanced hole with the green which
is divided in two by a large, stout tree called “Taotaomona” (a sacred
tree in Guam) planted squarely in front of the green. Get a head start
with a tee shot to the left side of the fairway. Taking the right side
of the fairway gives a higher possibility of running into trouble. On the
green, which is big and vertically long (60 yards) from the rear-left to
the front-right, checking the position of the pin is important. If the
position is misread, you could end up with an incredibly long, over 130
ft., putt.

|
| NO.8<The Toski> Par 4 |
| A long-distanced, mid-hole. Following winds are constantly present, but
it is hard to get home in 2. The tee shot should be positioned to the left
side of the bunker. Long-distance players have the potential of a clear
shot over the bunker, paying careful attention to avoid the right OB. Palm
trees planted on the left side could get in the way of the second shot.
The vertically long double-tiered green has a 50cm difference in height,
which is fast from the upper end.
|
|
|
| NO.9<The Hogan> Par 4 |
| This is a wide and straight mid-hole with a beautiful grove of great, big
royal palm trees planted on the left side. The tee shot positioned to the
right of center, avoiding the fairway bunker, would make finding a favorable
position on the green from the second shot easy. Attempting to hold shots
on the green is difficult as it slopes downward from the rear–left to the
front-right.
|
|
|

|
|
| NO.10<The Hogan> Par 5 |
This scenic long hole has a wide downhill. Get off to a better start with
the tee shot positioned a little bit right of the center of the fairway,
using the fact that the right OB is far, and avoiding a lake on the left
side. The second shot should be hit to the center. The nearer the green,
the nearer the right OB gets, so a precision shot is a must. As on this
downhill Lie, your left shoulder would be a bit lower than normal at address,
Long-distanced players will require all their skill. It would be easier
to get home from the vertically long apron. The green slopes slightly from
the rear to the front.

| NO.11<The Toski> Par 4 |
| This mid hole has a dynamic downhill (20m) with the virgin forest of palm
trees stretched out in the foreground. The tee shot should be positioned
to the extremely large greenside bunker in front. The fairway tilts to
the right. A slice would be driven with high probability of OB. The second
shot should be positioned to the left of the green avoiding the greenside
bunker on the front-right. The vertically long green slopes downwards from
the rear and a little bit to the right.
|
|
|
| NO.12<The Littler> Par 4 |
| This mid-distanced but tight hole requires a precision shot rather than
the carry. The entire right side of this hole is OB, so the tee shot should
be positioned to the left of the center. OB line close to both sides makes
the second shot hard. Approach shots must be positioned accurately to the
center of the green. Due to the small green, the second shot requires careful
attention to ones depth perspective. There’s no margin to miss a shot.
|
|
|
| NO.13<The Moody> Par 4 |
| This mid-distanced hole has a right dogleg. The tee shot should be positioned
to the left side of the fairway. The second shot would then be hit uphill
using one more club. Subtle undulations make this green difficult to putt
depending on the position of the flagstick.
|
|
|
| NO.14<The Ford> Par 3 |
| A short, downslope hole, surrounded by 4 bunkers. Pay careful attention
not to get over the pin on the green with the rear side undulation tilting
to the left.
|
|
|
| NO.15<The Casper> Par 4 |
| This downhill (20m) mid-hole is short yet challenging, as a creek and beach
bunkers guard the way. The tee shot should be positioned right of center,
avoiding the left bunker. The creek is 300 yards from the blue tee. The
forceful wind commands a wise club selection from long-distanced players.
The green tilts from the rear to the front-left, so the second shot should
be positioned to the very right side depending on the position of the pin.
|
|
|
| NO.16<The Sarazen> Par 3 |
| This short hole is another large downslope (25m). A following wind is forever
present. There is a deep bunker behind the green, which has OB on the right
and rear sides. Hit a less club to the apron. The tilted-green is divided
in three blocks.
|
|
|
| NO.17<The Rodriguez> Par 4 |
| This mid-distanced hole has a big uphill (20m) where head winds are often
present. The steep uphill encourages a long tee shot positioned to the
little bit left of the center. The entire right side of the fairway is
OB up to the greenside. A triple-tiered green demands your full attention.
The front side is the 1st stage, the rear-right is the 2nd, and the rear-left
is the 3rd. When the pin is on the upper stage, one more club should be
taken.
|
|
|
| NO.18<The Sneed> Par 5 |
| A finishing hole, this Par 5 has a gentle upslope (15m) and a long-distanced
dogleg right. The green is not in range of sight at the tee ground. The
tee shot should be positioned to the right of the center of the wide-open
fairway. The second shot should then be hit at the club house site on the
hill. Even big hitters hardly hit the green regularly into the wind. Due
to the tilted green, getting home in 3 with shots positioned to the apron
would give you a chance for birdie.
