Walk the course
Black Desert Resort hole by hole
Hole 1
400
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A slightly uphill par 4 where a large bunker on the right shapes the tee shot. Keep the drive left of the sand and you have a clear look at the green.
Hole 2
367
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
The tee shot drops downhill into a lava field. The green is a double green shared with the 8th, so check which flag you are playing.
Hole 3
171
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A par 3 with a bunker in the middle of the green, which creates tricky putts when the pin is on the far side of it. Pick the right section of the green.
Hole 4
450
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
The hardest hole on the card. The tee shot is downhill with lava down the right side and a canyon backdrop, so favor the left side of the fairway.
Hole 5
281
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A short par 4 that long hitters can try to drive. The green complex asks a lot of the short game, so laying up to a comfortable wedge number is a reasonable play.
Hole 6
399
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
Lakes sit on both sides, but the landing area is generous. The approach plays uphill, so take extra club.
Hole 7
552
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A long par 5 that is semi-blind off the tee. Lava islands guard a small, well-protected green, so many players will want to lay up.
Hole 8
128
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A short downhill par 3 that shares a double green with the 2nd. Club down for the drop and aim for the correct side of the green.
Hole 9
507
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
An uphill par 5 with lava and bunkers in play, finishing with views of Snow Canyon and Padre Canyon.
Hole 10
371
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
An uphill dogleg left with a hidden landing area. Take a line from the tee carefully, then enjoy the 360-degree views.
Hole 11
446
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A wide fairway makes the tee shot forgiving, but the approach is downhill to a green with a bunker and pond at the front right.
Hole 12
418
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A long, downhill dogleg right. Lava islands separate this hole from the 13th, so avoid missing right.
Hole 13
463
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
An elevated tee shot with a lake down the left side. The green sits on a lava knob, so a miss can run away from the putting surface.
Hole 14
268
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A short par 4 that is drivable for some. Bunkers shape the dogleg and the green is undulating, so the safe play is a controlled tee shot and a wedge in.
Hole 15
168
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A par 3 to a flat, bunkered green on a hill overlooking the canyons. Check the wind and club up.
Hole 16
449
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A wide natural fairway runs between lava flows and ends at a small, uphill green. Take enough club on the approach.
Hole 17
117
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A short par 3 to a small green ringed by three bunkers. Accuracy and good putting are rewarded.
Hole 18
511
yds ·Blue (Weiskopf)
A par 5 that doglegs left, with lava and bunkers shaping the fairway. A solid tee shot sets up a chance to reach in two.
