A slight uphill dogleg to the left. Fairway bunkers on the right
off the tee come into play on the tee shot. Watch out for the
small, well-bunkered green. |

Dogleg right. Fairway bunkers on the left off the tee. Small green
with two bunkers requires a short-iron approach. |

Almost straight away with a lake in the middle of the fairway that
comes into play on the second shot. This hole will force the golfer
to make a decision to either lay up or go for the green on the
second shot. The green is deep and narrow and guarded by water on
the right and bunkers on the left. |

With water short left of the green, this hole is considered one of
the most picturesque on the course. Players will hit a 5- or 6-iron
depending on the wind. |

A slight dogleg to the right off the tee with a large tree on the
right side of the fairway that comes into play. The left side of
the fairway is lined by spectator mounds. |

445 |
Slight dogleg to the left with large spectator mounds on the left
side of the fairway and fairway bunkers to the right. A long drive
will require a middle-iron approach shot to a well- bunkered green. |

482 |
Straight away with a large fairway bunker on the left. Requires a
long tee shot to a large green that is heavily bunkered and set
among the spectator mounds. |

Requires a short iron off the tee to a wide but narrow green with
two large bunkers guarding the left side. To the right of the green
is slope that slants sharply onto the green. |

A long dogleg to the right, slightly downhill with the second shot
over a lake that is front of the green. The player needs a lot of
length to get in position for the approach to the green. Ideal
drive is past the large tree on the right of the fairway to ensure
an open shot to the green. |

465 |
A slight dogleg to the left with water possibly coming into play
off the tee for a long hitter. Some players may opt to go with a
3-wood off the tee instead of a driver. The second shot is over
water to a well-bunkered green accented by trees short of the
green. |

A smaller version of the famous 17th at the Tournament Players Club
Sawgrass, but with its own uniqueness. This hole requires a short
iron over water to an island green with a small pot bunker that
guards the front edge of the green. |

406 |
A short dogleg to the right with water that extends down the entire
right side. Fairway bunkers on the left side of the hole come into
play off the tee. A good driving hole. |

A good driving hole. The key position on the left side gives the
player the best approach to the green, which is well-guarded by
four bunkers. |

Elevated tee and a full carry over water to a severely undulated
green. A very difficult par 3, set among a natural amphitheater. |

With a beautiful tree-lined fairway, this is a fairly short par 4
with a slight dogleg to the left. The second shot is over a creek
to a well-bunkered green. Emphasis should be on placement of the
tee shot. |

An uphill par 5 that is reachable in two. The green is small and
well guarded with bunkers. Could be the hole that decides the
championship because a birdie (or better) is likely. |
| 17 |

490 |
A long downhill hole that requires a lot of length off the tee to
set up the second shot over a creek. The long and narrow green is
protected by six bunkers. |
| 18 |

453 |
An excellent finishing hole that places a great demand off the tee.
This dogleg left has water that comes into play on the first two
shots, as well as fairway bunkers on the right. Spectator mounds
surround the medium-sized green. |
