Bombers will have a good chance to get home in two if they can get their tee shot in the fairway on this reachable Par 5.  A ball that finds the right bunker off the tee leaves a challenging lay-up.  If you elect to go for the green, you will have a forced carry over water to a raised green.  If you bail out left, you are in a tough spot and getting your next shot on the green is a good play. If you lay the ball up in the fairway you should have a wedge in your hand and a good chance to hit it close and make a birdie. Statistics will show more birdies from layups than from those who go for the green. 

This is the longest Par 4 on the golf course and will require a tee shot in the fairway to give you a good chance to get the ball on the green in regulation. The approach is open to this green so the approach is relatively simple, and the green is receptive to a run-up shot from longer distances. Par is a good score on Hole # 11 at Big Spring.

A true risk-reward driveable downhill par 4 that is well guarded by water and bunkers. Those who go for the green may have a putt for eagle and a good chance for a birdie, but if you are unsuccessful, you will likely make a bogey or more on the shortest par 4 on the course. If you lay up, pay attention to the distance you hit your tee shot and give yourself a 100 yard approach. A nice wedge into the green should give players a good birdie opportunity.

A good tee shot is a must on this par 4 in order to have an opportunity to get your 2nd shot on the green. Balls that miss right will find a watery grave, and drives that miss left will likely be blocked out on an approach to this green. The 2nd shot plays 9 yards longer than actual distance because it is significantly uphill. The right side of the green is well guarded by a bunker and the best play is to the center of the green. Make a par here and you are gaining strokes on the field.

This is a great risk-reward tee shot. The fairway short of the left fairway bunker is nearly 50 yards wide and the easiest target. Pay close attention how far you need to hit your tee shot to lay up to this spot. If you lay up on your tee shot, you will be left with 125 yards uphill to the green and you should have a good chance for birdie. If you decide to hit an aggressive shot off the tee, be sure to favor the left side as any ball in the right fairway bunker leaves the toughest shot in golf… a 40-60 yard bunker shot uphill. If you can safely get your tee shot in the fairway left of the bunker you will be left with a short approach and good opportunity to make birdie.

The green is well guarded by bunkers on this mid-length Par 3. If you avoid the bunkers you should be able to walk off the green with a 3 or better. If the hole location is back left, don’t attack and play to the center of the green as any balls right of the flag but hole height will find trouble long. Any front and center hole locations are good to attack and you may have a good chance for birdie here.  

Bombers delight here with another risk-reward tee shot. The longest hitters can take their tee shot over the left bunker and leave an opportunity to get home in two. Most players should keep the ball to the right of the bunker and play 16 as a 3 shot hole. If you can lay the ball up to wedge distance, you should have a good opportunity to make a birdie or par. The green is small and most balls on the green will leave you a good putt for birdie.

This long par 3 is a tough one that is well guarded by bunkers. A shot in the middle of the green and two putts is a great score and you probably picked up a stroke on your playing partners.

A tough finishing hole that requires patience. Get the tee shot in the fairway and favor the right side of the hole to allow yourself to stay in the hole. The green is well guarded with bunkers and requires a well-played approach shot, on the correct level of the green. Any shots over the green on a back hole location is trouble, and it is a very challenging up and down. 4 is a good score on the finishing hole!
