A shot requiring a middle to short iron is needed to reach the green on this picturesque par 3. The green is two-tiered and slopes from back to front. There will probably be more birdies here than on the other par 3 holes. Do not go over to the back, or you're toast.

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.

Be-cause this is the shortest par 4 at TPC Sawgrass, there is a premium on accuracy from the 12th tee. The preferred position is right center of the fairway. Players driving short or to the left of their target sometimes will not be able to see the flagstick because of the large mounds.

The 11th hole is a strategically designed middle-length par 5. Players attempting to reach this green in two must have a long and accurate drive down the right side. The player laying up can elect to hit the fairway area on the right, which is guarded by a large oak tree, leaving a short iron or wedge to the green.

It's absolutely crucial to find the fairway with what will probably be a 3 wood or 2 iron hit blind from the tee. Unfortunately, however, there's not much fairway to find. Those who hit safely will face a middle iron over the waves. Those who don't will probably play for bogey.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you find the fairway on this short par 5, you might be able to reach the green in two. Another option is to lay up short of the deep bunker or barranca that's hidden 75 yards left from this green.

Traditionally the 14th hole has been one of the toughest at TPC Sawgrass. The narrow two-tiered driving area is parallel down the left side by a narrow fairway bunker and a lateral water hazard. The green is huge with some severe mounds in it.

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.

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.

The narrow landing area for this drive demands accuracy. From the landing area the green appears to be very large but in fact, it's narrow and fades away from the players. Typically it is a 2 to 3 club green.
