Remuda Scorecard

Front Nine

Remuda Hole 1 – Appaloosa –

Par: 4 (Four)
Yardage: 400 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 17th in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 8,630 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: Extraordinarily wide fairway, even for Remuda. Grass bunkers are hiding out on the right side of the fairway and one behind the green. The range net spans the entire left hand side of the fairway. Slight dogleg left to right if played correctly.
Advice from the Pro: I recommend keeping the tee shot slightly left of the barber pole, as this sets up the best approach to the green. The most undulation on the putting surface is to the right. Give yourself the most green to work with. Dropping the ball in from the right side of the Fairway with a pin set on the right almost guarantees another stroke.”

Remuda Hole 2 – Shetland –

Par: 3 (Three)
Yardage: 138 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 9th in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 9,950 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: Peaceful pond at your center and right. Black and Blue tees must fly the water. White and Yellow tees can cheat to the left but must contend with a grass bunker guarding the front left of the green.
Advice from the Pro: What water? Take one more club as water will not help the ball stay in flight, quite the opposite. Put the ball in the center of this and all greens. If you set it in the middle, you are half-way to the hole. Don’t shoot at flags on the edges, they are not called sucker pins for nothing! Especially on this hole.

Remuda Hole 3 – Percheron –

Par: 5 (Five)
Yardage: 457 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 11th in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 7,040 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: A dogleg left that can be confusing for right handed golfers. The “Remuda Triangle” will devour your ball and you probably won’t find it if you slice hard right. Two grass bunkers guard the right side at 150 yards out and 50 yards out.
Advice from the Pro: Stay away from the left side of the fairway. Notice the trees and the people on the tee box at 17 or the putting surface of 16. They won’t appreciate you taking that shortcut you really don’t need. Target your tee shot down the middle of the Fairway. If you teed from the appropriate tee box you will have a good look at the green. Go for it! A good birdie hole.

Remuda Hole 4 – Mustang –

Par: 3 (Three)
Yardage: 200 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 3rd in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 9,700 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: White sand bunker and trees guard the left forward side of the green. Fairway mounds may lend you a favorable bounce on right side of the fairway.
Advice from the Pro: This is a huge green. (Remember to aim for the middle of the green.) Pick the appropriate tee and you’re on. Let your ego tee off for you and plan on a boogie. The only way to consistently get Birdie Putts on par threes is to hit the green with your tee shot. If you make a mistake, try to make it to the right. You’ve probably noticed houses on the left and you’d be wise to avoid them. The little hill on the right can really help redeem your errors.

Remuda Hole 5 – Arabian –

Par: 5 (Five)
Yardage: 500 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 7th in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 10,020 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: Long gradual dogleg left. Two white sand bunkers guard the left side of the fairway. Tall trees and houses block you shortcutting it. Number three tees and pond on the right may be of concern to slicers. Some right side green mounds to lend a helpful bounce. Dramatic mountain views.
Advice from the Pro: Keep your tee shot right of center for a good look at the green on your second shot. If you’re out a ways, aim for the American flag slightly right of the green. (Hope it’s up the day you play!) This is another huge green. Cut it in half and be in the middle and in front. it does slope nicely, it’s a good uphill putt hole.

Remuda Hole 6 – Hackney –

Par: 3 (Three)
Yardage: 217 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 1st in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 9,470 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: Depth perception makes the green it look closer than it is. Two white sand bunkers guard the left hand side of the green. One visible and one invisible. Wetland depression and mounding on the right.
Advice from the Pro: You must be on from your tee shot for a chance at par or one putt birdie. The turf in front of the green is usually soft, so no forward help there. Err to the right if you feel a little out of control. (Notice the houses and bunkers on the left.) If you are in the cat tails on the right, call the clubhouse for an emergency lesson.

Remuda Hole 7 – Belgian –

Par: 5 (Five)
Yardage: 467 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 15th in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 7,300 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: Gentle rise to elevated green. White sand bunker located mid-fairway on the left. White sand bunker guards the left front of the green. Many pines line both sides of the fairway.
Advice from the Pro: This is a very do-able par five if you stay in the middle. However, it can be intimidating with houses and trees looming in on both sides. If you are worried, use an iron off your tee shot, you can easily make it with three shots to the green and you may even score a birdie. Remember the fairway area in front of the green will stop your ball, so no forward help. Clear this area for the best chances. Try not to drop above the flag, there is a serious downhill slope in most areas on the green.

Remuda Hole 8 – Morgan –

Par: 4 (Four)
Yardage: 367 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 5th in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 8,370 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: Willow patch near the tee box. Woop-de-do mounding right off the tee box near left fairway boundary. Grass bunker on left of green and native walnut tree guarding the right side.
Advice from the Pro: Find the barber pole. Do not go right! This is a very deceptive Hole from the tee box. Anything right is in the wet cabbage rough. Your best placement is slightly left of the barber pole. (Really!) Don’t go pin seeking here, especially if it’s a blue right placement. In my experience it’s best to putt from the middle up hill to the blue right location.

Hole 9 – Quarter –

Par: 4 (Four)
Yardage: 373 yards from Black Tees
Course Rank: 13th in overall difficulty
Green Surface: 9,900 Square Feet
Distinguishing features: Native trees shade the tee box. Very slight downhill motion can add five yards to your drive. Grass bunker guards the front left side of the green.
Advice from the Pro: As straightforward as it looks. Error to the left if you are a right handed slicer. Don’t be hero and waste a par opportunity. There is good front to back incline on this green. It is most sever on the left side of the green.
