This dogleg right par 4 begins with a drive through a shoot of trees, over water, and a waste area. The tee-shot should favor the right side to allow for a straighter approach shot. The fairway is split into two, and the green is pretty humpy.

Come Sunday, this becomes a very important hole. A birdie here will gain ground on the field. As on many other holes at Riviera, this tee shot will test the player's ability to hit a power fade. A long drive off the tee makes your approach shot to a two-tiered green that's much easier.

A tee-shot on the left is preferred for a flag on the right, and the drive to the right not too close to the rough is desired for a flag located into rear or left. To far right, and you can be blocked out on your 2nd shot. The wind direction on this hole can make it very difficult to score well.

A strong tee shot to the left half of this fairway will leave you with a medium iron shot. Pick enough club on your approach to carry the inlet on the right. Watch out for the bunkers left and long because they will capture any kind of an errant shot. The green slopes toward the ocean from left-to-right.

Perhaps the most famous finishing hole in all of golf, set up for 3 shots on this hole and enjoy the walk. The best tee shot is to the left of the trees in the center of the fairway. Your short iron into the green must carry the frontal bunker, and finally, putts will break towards the sea.

A slight draw around the corner of this dogleg left leaves you in a perfect position for a short pitch to the green. If you play it safe to the far right of the barranca, be prepared to contend with the bunkers flanking the right side of the green.

The longest par 4 at TPC Sawgrass usually plays into the wind, and requires a long iron or fairway wood to carry a myriad of obstacles. The deep, narrow and sloping green completes the challenge. Par will be very welcome on this demanding par 3.

In its brief history, the island 17th hole has become one of the most famous par 3 holes in the world. It's the signature hole here at TPC Sawgrass, and it's a short par 3 with a wide green that narrows to the right side.

The 12th is one of the toughest holes on the course, because of the difficult long iron into this narrow green, and on the left side is guarded by Bogey's Tree, named after Humphrey Bogart.

This dogleg right offers a generous landing area for the drive as it is the longest par 4 on the golf course. Favoring the right side will give you a shorter approach shot. The green is deep, narrow, and rolling. Par is always a good score here.

On this relatively short par 5, the tee-shot is crucial. Do not be greedy here as the drive along the left side will get you nothing but trouble. A long and accurate drive will give you a chance to reach this green in two shots. A layup shot to about 60 yards short of the green, will find a flat area to approach from.

The 9th hole is considered by many to be one of the finest par fives in the country. The most important shot here is your second. To the left a wandering fairway bunker and large oak trees crowd the small second shot landing area. The green is not very wide and it severely sloped from the front to the back right.

A long iron or 3 wood to carry the long bunker in the center of the fairway is your best bet on this short uphill par 4. Leave it below the hole here with your second shot and par is an excellent score at the 4th.

A very challenging par 3. Most players will be using anywhere from a 3 iron to a 3 wood, depending on the wind conditions. The green is well guarded by a large bunker in front, and slopes severely from right to left. Most players favor the left side of the green when planning their approach.

The 9th at Pebble Beach is perhaps the toughest hole on the course. Take aim at the left-center of the fairway, hit it long, and beware the bunker on the left. There's a deep bunker gulley left and short that will punish any kind of a limp or timid approach.
