Hole #9

190 yard par 3. While number nine is the shortest hole on the Lacoma’s Blue course, its gentle uphill slope causes it to play a club longer than the yardage suggests. The dome-shaped green slopes especially sharply toward the fairway near the front. A large trap on the right and a small trap in the front left add to the difficulty.

Tips from the Pro
The sand traps that guard both sides of the hole make playing to the middle of the green the most attractive option. If the pin is to the left, however, playing to the center of the green will result in a difficult downhill putt. In this case, playing over the left bunker may be a better option, even if you miss the green slightly.
