Hole by Hole Descriptions of Punta Espada

Take a closer look at what the Champions Tour players have in store for them at Punta Espada

Hole 1 – Par 4 – 416 Yards

With the tee complex located on top of bluff, the downhill par 4 is set up with a large waste bunlker that runs along the left side of the fairway and a bunker to the right of the landing area. This will require the player to carry a portion of the waste bunker and favor the left side of the fairway in order to have the best angle into the green. A small bunker front right and an elevated bunker on the back left protect the green.

Hole 2 – Par 5 – 598 Yards

The most difficult hole of the course. Tees are located on one of the highest point of Punta Espada; one can view a large lake that runs directly into the Atlantic Ocean. The longest of the par 5 measuring 611 yards this dogleg right will demand three well-placed shots to reach the green. The landing area is framed by two cross-bunkers on the right and a single bunker just past the landing area on the left. Premium is placed on the second shot with a beach bunker located around the tidal lake and a slightly crowned fairway at the second landing area.
