Walk the course
Reunion Resort – Nicklaus Course hole by hole
Hole 1
311
yds ·White
A short opening par 4. Play the tee shot down the left side, leaving a short iron into a small, narrow green. Going over the green leaves a hard up-and-down.
Hole 2
390
yds ·White
The hardest hole on the card. The safe tee shot is to the left; carrying the bunkers on the right gives the shortest approach into a well-protected green.
Hole 3
536
yds ·White
A long par 5 with water in play. Keep the drive left, then work your way to a short iron into a small green.
Hole 4
357
yds ·White
Longer hitters can carry the fairway bunker to open up the approach. Water sits in front of the green, and the putting surface is tricky to read.
Hole 5
178
yds ·White
A long par 3 with sand down the left side. A high iron that lands softly holds this green best.
Hole 6
500
yds ·White
Aim the drive just left of center; stronger players can take on the bunkers on the right. The green is elevated, so distance control on the approach matters.
Hole 7
332
yds ·White
Drive to the right side for the best angle in. The green is narrow and rewards an accurate approach, and birdie is there if you find it.
Hole 8
127
yds ·White
The shortest hole on the course, played to a narrow green. Missing short and right is the trouble to avoid.
Hole 9
342
yds ·White
A short iron approach to a small, elevated green. Misses to either side make bogey likely.
Hole 10
390
yds ·White
The longest par 4 on the back nine, with bunkers lining both sides of the fairway and guarding the green.
Hole 11
135
yds ·White
A short par 3 with a steep slope that feeds missed shots into a deep collection area. Do not go long.
Hole 12
355
yds ·White
A drive down the left opens the angle to a long green tucked behind a knoll. Missing left leaves a difficult recovery.
Hole 13
383
yds ·White
A tee shot down the left, clear of the fairway bunkers, sets up a short iron into a large and fairly flat green.
Hole 14
372
yds ·White
Play the drive to the right. The small green sits over water on a bulkhead, with a large collection area to the right.
Hole 15
472
yds ·White
A par 5 with a wide fairway. A long, straight drive sets up the second shot, and the putts here can be tricky.
Hole 16
158
yds ·White
The signature hole: a par 3 over water to a shallow, firm green with bunkers in front and behind. Check the yardage carefully, especially to a back-right pin.
Hole 17
347
yds ·White
Favor the right side off the tee for a clear look at the green. The approach is blind to some pin positions.
Hole 18
520
yds ·White
A closing par 5 where the right side is the play. Bunkers frame the fairway and a waste area runs down the left.
