This years tournament will be held at Southwyck Golf Club - Pearland, Texas. Below is a layout of the this years course.

Hole #1

A tee shot to the right of the fairway bunker will leave a short to mid-iron into a very undulating green. Long hitters should try to carry the bunker but beware – a bad forward hop or a drive too long will run through the fairway.

 

Hole #2

Only the longest of hitters can get home in two here – a lengthy tee shot combined with an uphill second shot to a tiered green doesn’t guarantee a birdie as three putts abound on this difficult green the slopes from back to front and right to left. The safe play is a tee shot in play, with a lay up to 120yds and a full swing into the pin.

 

Hole #3

Just long baby. Hit it, then hit it again and maybe one more time. If the prevailing wind is active this plays as the toughest hole on the golf course.

 

Hole #4

Solid drive left of the fairway bunker and a short to mid iron approach to a subtle contoured green. Seems no matter where the pin is the front middle bunker always comes into play. Toughest approach shot is to the front pin placement – knock it past and try for the downhill trickler.

 

Hole #5

If length is what you like this should make you pleased as punch. 249 yds from the tips – typically downwind – the bailout area right is commonly used however – short of the green with a planned up and down is a great way to save par also.

 

Hole #6

Risk reward Par Four – Go for the green or take it to the right for a relatively easy par. Since the bunker renovation project – most long hitters try to knock it in the greenside bunker and try to get up and down.

 

Hole #7

The shortest of the par three’s – the green is very wide however distance control is a must as the green is very shallow. If you are playing from the two back tee boxes – don’t let the scenery intimidate and take about one less club – the wind is up there – trust us.

 

Hole #8

Risk reward Par Five – the last good birdie chance on the front nine. Bomb it down the left and go for it in two or play it to the right and lay up – both offer good birdie chances as the green is relatively flat.

 

Hole #9

Good par four finishing hole. The drive needs to be further right than it looks from the tee box as it will feed right when it lands.

 

Hole #10

Solid 3wd or driver over or just left of the ‘hidden bunker’ leave a short iron into the green. Don’t be fooled by the bunker in front of the green – theres plenty of room between it and the green.

 

Hole #11

The most difficult tee shot on the course – a long par three with a narrow green that slopes left to right toward the water.

Hole #12

The easiest par five to get home in two although the 2nd shot is into a narrow green. The smart play is pin high out to the right and try to get up and down for birdie.

 

Hole #13

Bomb it up the right hand side – long second shot, uphill to a large green.

 

Hole #14

Long hitters can get home in two. If you are laying up – the 150 yard marker is about 20 yards short of the waters edge. To carry the hazard you must hit it to at least 110 yards from the green.

Hole #15

Risk reward here – Go for it or lay it out to the right. From the standard mens tee it is 262 yards to carry on a direct line to the green.

 

Hole #16

Short but water lurks on the left – hang it out to the right and play the hole as it was designed for best birdie chance. Bombing it just leaves an awkward distance into the green.

 

Hole #17

Great finishing par three – large green so club selection is important here.

Hole #18

Another great par four – Tee shot down the right hand side leaves the best angle for your approach shot. The green is bisected by a ridge through the center so pick the correct side.
