Hole 1
Medium
length par 4 with water down the right. The favourable target line is
the left side of the fairway for the best angle to the green. This hole
typically plays into the wind, which could add 2 to 3 clubs on to your
second shot.
Hole 2
558-yard par 5 playing directly into the
wind. Water runs down the entire right side and your drive will need to
contend with the fairway bunkers on the left. The best play is to lay up
to your favourite yardage for your third shot. Accuracy on your
approach to the long and narrow green is a must.
Hole 3
Medium
length dogleg left par 4 with water down the entire left side. The
winds will typically blow your ball to the right, which is well
protected by fairway bunkers.
Hole 4
205 yard par 3 over water.
This hole typically plays downwind and long and left of the green is
well bunkered. Three palm trees guard the right side of the green.
Hole 5
Short
par 4 with water down the left side. Your tee shot will need to favour
the right side of the fairway for the best angle into this small green.
Hole 6
Short
par 4 that gives golfers the best option for birdie. Errant tee shots
to the right will find the fairway bunker and if you go for the green,
beware of the water hazard that comes into play short and left of the
green.
Hole 7
601-yard par 5 that typically plays downwind.
Beware of the massive fairway bunker on the left that will catch a lot
of balls from players avoiding the water down the right-hand side. The
two-tiered green is receptive to a bump-and-run-style shot, but avoid
the left side of the green and the large collection area.
Hole 8
Medium length par 4 with mangrove down the entire left side. The right side of the fairway is well-guarded with fairway bunkers.
Hole 9
Island
green par 3 playing 156 yards from the Championship Tees. Winds on this
hole will typically be hurting and from left-to-right. Club selection
will be key here as the hole location on this huge green can vary your
club selection by 4 or 5 clubs.
Perfecting Your Swing
The Ritz-Carlton is home to
the only Trackman Golf Simulator on Grand Cayman, providing access to
the sport’s leading golf trajectory tool. Trackman is an indoor golf
simulator that precisely measures impact and ball flight pattern,
helping players to evaluate and perfect their swing. Adding to its “golf
radar” performance and offering the same technology used by PGA Tour
Professionals, the resort’s Trackman also presents 80 virtual course and
terrain visuals, ranging from Pebble Beach to the Old Course at St.
Andrews. It is now available at The Bunker Indoor Golf Centre and may be
