Hole 1

Par 5 · 563 Yards

Pro’s Tip:

Aim your drive just to the left side of bunker (210 yards from tee) on right side of fairway. Play approach shot to the center of this green, which slopes right to left.

Hole #2

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:

The second is a relatively short par 5 that provides an opportunity for birdie. Longer hitters can challenge the two bunkers on the right, which will set up an ideal approach angle in. A small tree on the left side of the fairway about 105 yards out must be avoided. Finally, the green is guarded by a front left bunker.

BLACK: 555

BLUE: 505

GOLD: 525

GREEN: 460

WHITE: 480

Hole #3

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:

A wide open fairway awaits players on the third, which is the longest par 4 on the course. The safe play is down the right-center of the fairway to avoid the houses left. Players may find the approach difficult as it’ll require a mid-to-long iron into the green.

BLACK: 470

BLUE: 420

GOLD: 440

GREEN: 375

WHITE: 400

Hole #4

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:

The fourth hole is the first par 3 on the golf course. Most players will have a mid-to-long iron into this two-tiered green. It’s fairly open, with the exception of a bunker front-left and a desert left of the green. Tee shots that land in the middle of the green will set up a good chance at par.

BLACK: 190

BLUE: 150

GOLD: 160

GREEN: 100

WHITE: 125

Hole #5

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:

This par 5 features a blind tee shot with desert on both sides of the hole. The line off the tee is off the left side of the bunker, which will set up a good look at reading the green in two. Water guards the front-right and right side of the green and a bunker wraps around the right side as well. The left side of the hole is home to a bunker that, if hit, will leave an awkward 50 yard bunker shot. The best lay-up is down the right side and short of the water, which will leave a wedge or short-iron in.

BLACK: 530

BLUE: 480

GOLD: 500

GREEN: 425

WHITE: 450

Hole #6

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:

The sixth is another risk-reward hole. This one has out-of-bounds left and water right, so finding the fairway off the tee is important. Water and a bunker protect the front-right side of the green and desert guards long-right. Players should aim for the middle of the green to have a good chance of making par.

BLACK: 430

BLUE: 375

GOLD: 395

GREEN: 335

WHITE: 360

Hole #7

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:

The seventh is the shortest par 4 on the front nine. Most players don’t need to hit driver off the tee because hitting it too far will find the water. Out of bounds left and water long means a miss should stay right. A green with a lot of slope awaits approach shots that most will hit with a wedge.

BLACK: 375

BLUE: 320

GOLD: 345

GREEN: 280

WHITE: 305

Hole #8

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:

The eighth is the longest par 3 on the golf course. It features a difficult two-tiered green and bunkers on the left side. Aim for the center of the green because par is a great score.

BLACK: 210

BLUE: 175

GOLD: 185

GREEN: 135

WHITE: 160

Hole #9

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:

The front nine ends with a dogleg right par 4. Bunkers on the left side of the fairway and desert on the right make finding the fairway a must. A good drive will leave players with a short iron or wedge into this long, narrow green that’s protected by a bunker on the right.

BLACK: 445

BLUE: 400

GOLD: 420

GREEN: 355

WHITE: 375

Hole #10

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:

The back nine opens with a short par 4. Most players will hit less than driver to avoid the hazard on the left and desert on the right. A tee shot down the left will help take some distance off the approach shot into an elevated green. Avoiding the greenside bunker on the right will help set up a birdie opportunity.

Tee 1: 424

Tee 2: 378

Tee 3: 400

Tee 4: 378

Tee 5: 350

Hole #11

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:

This one is another short par 4 that’ll leave most players a wedge or short-iron into the green. Fairway bunkers on both sides of the fairway make hitting a good tee shot important. Bunkers protect the left side of the green and anything in the middle of the green should set up a good birdie chance.

BLACK: 415

BLUE: 370

GREEN: 310

WHITE: 330

Hole #12

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:

The twelfth is the longest hole on the golf course, requiring three shots to reach the green, especially because it typically plays into the wind. Players must avoid the desert left and out-of-bounds right off the tee. On the second shot a bunker protects the right side and water on the left. An elevated green awaits and is guarded by front left bunkers and a drop-off on the back, which make an up-and-down difficult.

BLACK: 590

WHITE: 515

BLUE: 535

GOLD: 555

Hole #13

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:

The thirteenth is a short par 4 with a fairway that’s fairly wide open, with the exception of a bunker and desert on the right. Again, most players don’t need to hit driver, as they’ll only need a wedge or short-iron into the green. This putting surface is large and protected by a front-left bunker.

BLACK: 380

BLUE: 320

GOLD: 355

GREEN: 280

WHITE: 300

Hole #14

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:

Next is the first par 3 on the back nine. Most players will hit a mid-to-long iron off the tee to a green that sits slightly downhill. Bunkers protect the right side of this two-tiered putting surface.

BLACK: 180

BLUE: 150

GOLD: 170

GREEN: 120

WHITE: 140

Hole #15

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:

The fifteenth hole is the longest par 4 on the back nine, however, it also has the widest fairway. There’s no real trouble, so players can feel free to let it rip. Approach shots should aim at the middle of the green, where there’s the best chance at walking away with par or birdie.

BLACK: 460

BLUE: 415

GOLD: 435

GREEN: 375

WHITE: 395

Hole #16

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:

This risk-reward hole is a drivable par 4 that’s protected by water on the right side. Players who lay-up will have a wedge into the green and will only have to avoid the bunker on the left side of the fairway. The green itself is also protected by bunkers on the right side.

BLACK: 315

BLUE: 250

GOLD: 290

GREEN: 205

WHITE: 225

Hole #17

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:

The par 3 seventeenth is the signature hole at Seville. With its island green, player’s distance control will be tested. A bunker on the right side adds to the challenge of this hole.

BLACK: 145

BLUE: 125

GOLD: 130

GREEN: 90

WHITE: 110

Hole #18

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:

The closing hole is a standard three-shot par 5 for most, though longer hitters may get home in two with a great tee shot. A bunker protects the left side of the fairway, so an ideal tee shot should be down the right-center. Players face a decision on the second shot with water coming into play, carry it and be left with a flip wedge. Anything short of the water will face a wedge or short-iron for the third. This small green is protected by bunkers in the front.

Tee 1: 545

Tee 2: 475

Tee 3: 510

Tee 4: 420

Tee 5: 435
