MOUNTAINS COURSE
The 9 holes of the Mountains course
MOUNTAINS COURSE: HOLE 1
Pro tips: Powerful players should be careful that a long tee shot does not end up in the water obstacle; avoid the bunker behind the green, exit from which could prove difficult with certain flag positions.
MOUNTAINS COURSE: HOLE 2
Pro tips: Different strategies can be used to tackle this hole. After a good tee shot, a medium-long player will no doubt be tempted to risk the shot to the green, paying attention to the water obstacle that surrounds the target.
MOUNTAINS COURSE: HOLE 3
Pro tips: Beware of flag positions to the right, beyond the bunker. It is best to play more towards the centre of the green, especially if you are still far away with the first shot, using its natural slope to the right.
MOUNTAINS COURSE: HOLE 4
Pro tips: the second shot to the green, for more powerful players, or the third for other players, will encounter a natural amphitheatre behind the green that provides protection on shots that are too long and must be exploited, avoiding finishing short and seeing the ball roll towards the water obstacle in front of the green.
MOUNTAINS COURSE: HOLE 5
Pro tips: on the second shot, especially if not played up close, take advantage of the right bank of the green trying, therefore, not to go right, where the bunker and subsequently the water obstacle are located.
MOUNTAINS COURSE: HOLE 6
Pro tips: for medium-power players, it is advisable to do a lay-up with the second shot before the obstacle and opt for a shot to the green with a more open club.
MOUNTAINS COURSE: HOLE 7
Pro tips: Pay close attention to the position of the flag, as with long positions you may need to use up to two more clubs.
MOUNTAINS COURSE: HOLE 8
Pro tips: with medium-long flag positions, players using a defensive strategy could play one or two fewer irons towards the centre of the short plateau of the green.
MOUNTAINS COURSE: HOLE 9
Pro tips: for less powerful players it is best to aim the tee shot towards the left side of the fairway. For medium-power players, who are not aiming for the green, it is advisable to have a tee shot to the corner of the dog-leg and not a shot to the right to cut the corner as this would be high risk, without producing any great advantage for the second shot.
