HOLE #1
PAR: 5 | HANDICAP: 11(M)/7(W)
The first of five par 5’s at Wykagyl, this dogleg left is a good hole to open your round. Avoid the cross stream short of the green and a par, birdie or even eagle for the long hitters is a real possibility.
|
|
HOLE #2
PAR: 4 | HANDICAP: 7(M)/13(W)
An uphill tee shot must avoid fairway bunkers on both sides of the fairway. Your second shot must avoid the bunkers left, right and short of the green that is sloped from back to front.
|
|
HOLE #3
PAR: 4 | HANDICAP: 1(M)/3(W)
The longest par four on the golf course is also the number one handicap hole. To have a legitimate chance of hitting the green in two, players must focus on hitting the fairway on this dogleg right. Approach shots into the green are best kept below the hole as the green is severely sloped from back to front, but players also need to avoid the false front at the beginning of the green. Par is a great score on the 3rd hole.
|
|
HOLE #4
PAR: 3 | HANDICAP: 17
This short but challenging par 3 can make or break a round. If the hole location is in the front of this two tiered green the 4th becomes a legitimate birdie opportunity. If the hole location is on the top level, par is a great score. Players must avoid the bunkers that surround the green, getting up and in is very difficult.
|
|
HOLE #5
PAR: 4 | HANDICAP: 3(M)/1(W)
Off the tee players will hit driver or a fairway wood to stay short of the stream that crosses the fairway of this slight dogleg right. A drive down the left side of the fairway will give players the best angle into the green. A drive hit down the right could be blocked out from the green by over-hanging trees or end up in the stream that runs down the entire right side of the fairway. Distance control on your second shot is the key. This very shallow and slightly elevated green can be difficult to hit. Shots short of the green may find a deep bunker that will make it very difficult to get up and down and long shots will require a delicate touch from a downhill lie.
|
|
HOLE #6
PAR: 5 | HANDICAP: 9(M)/5(W)
Tee shots must avoid the stream that runs down the entire right side of the hole. Long hitters who find the fairway may have an opportunity to hit the green in two. The green complex is elevated from the landing area on the second shot and makes for a difficult, blind third shot to the green. Short of the green is not a bad place to be for any approach shots into the green.
|
|
HOLE #7
PAR: 3 | HANDICAP: 15
This mid-length par 3 could possibly have one of the most difficult greens in the country. It is critical to keep the ball below and right of the hole, no matter where the pin is positioned. The challenge begins once your putter is in your hands. It is not uncommon on this hole to see putts that break more than 10 feet. Par is a good score on this hole.
|
|
HOLE #8
PAR: 4 | HANDICAP: 5(M)/11(W)
Long hitters can cut off some of the corner of this dogleg left to give themselves a short iron into the green. Shorter hitters must play out to the right and will have a longer approach into the green. The greenside bunker on the right must be avoided to give players an opportunity to make par.
|
|
HOLE #9
PAR: 5 | HANDICAP: 13(M)/9(W)
The shortest par 5 on the golf course is reachable in two for the longer hitter. Whether laying up or going for the green in two, players will have a blind second shot. The downslope leading to the green can be utilized to chase balls onto the putting surface. Bunkers well short of the green on the left and right must be avoided as they leave a long and difficult bunker shot to the green. Enjoy the view of the clubhouse approaching the green as it is one of the best on the course.
|
|
HOLE #10
PAR: 5 | HANDICAP: 2(M)/4(W)
This risk reward par 5 can either lead to birdies or double bogeys. Players that drive the ball long and short of the creek that crosses the entire length of the fairway will have an opportunity to go for the green in two. Shorter hitters may have a difficult time carrying the creek with their second shot. The three tiered green is elevated from the fairway, so distance control can be challenging on approach shots into the green. The left green side bunkers are very deep and must be avoided.
|
|
HOLE #11
PAR: 3 | HANDICAP: 18
Distance control is the key to success at this hole. This short par 3 is severely downhill and exposed to any wind that might be prevalent. Players who can control trajectory and distance will have a chance to make birdie.
|
|
HOLE #12
PAR: 5 | HANDICAP: 6(M)/2(W)
Players have many options on this par 5. Tee shots must be kept either short or right of the daunting fairway bunker that protects this slightly uphill hole. Long hitters have the opportunity to go for the green in two but must avoid the trouble right and long of the green. Players who lay up must avoid the right hand fairway bunker. The 12th green has a large false front that plays havoc with approach and pitch shots into the green.
|
|
HOLE #13
PAR: 3 | HANDICAP: 16(M)/12(W)
Par is a good score on this long par 3. The green has two levels from back to front and is severely sloped. Any ball hit short of the green may roll back some 30 yards back down the slope in front of the green.
|
|
HOLE #14
PAR: 4 | HANDICAP: 4(M)/14(W)
Hitting the ball in the fairway is crucial on this dogleg right. Fairway bunkers guard the entire right side of the hole and a tricky spine runs diagonally through the fairway which kicks balls into the left-hand rough. The greenside bunker on the right is very deep and difficult to make par from. This green also has a false front that must be avoided.
|
|
HOLE #15
PAR: 4 | HANDICAP: 12(M)/10(W)
This short par 4 gives players multiple options. Drives down the left side of the fairway which flirt with the fairway bunkers will only leave a short pitch into this very small green. Drives hit down the right side of the fairway will still have a relatively short shot into the green. The key on all second shots is to carry the ball into the green far enough to ensure that the false front will not affect the ball.
|
|
HOLE #16
PAR: 3/4 | HANDICAP: 14(M)/16(W)
Par is a great score on this long par 3. As if hitting a long iron or fairway wood is not enough, this two-level severely sloping green is one of the more difficult to putt on the entire golf course. Keeping the ball below the hole is critical in an attempt to make par.
|
|
HOLE #17
PAR: 4 | HANDICAP: 8(M)/6(W)
This short dogleg left can be a birdie opportunity if the ball is hit in the fairway. Tee shots must be shaped right to left to maximize the slope of the hill off the tee. This sets up a short iron into the green which can lead to birdie.
|
|
HOLE #18
PAR: 4 | HANDICAP: 10(M)/8(W)
Although this fairway is the widest on the golf course it is essential that players land their tee shots on the runway. An environmental hazard lines the entire left side of the hole, a pond protects the right and a stream has to be avoided at the beginning of the fairway. Your second shot is to an elevated green that is guarded on all sides by bunkers. Beware - shots short of the green could roll back some 50 yards down the fairway. This is a very fast green which slopes from back to front.
