The 10th hole at Turtle Bay Resort's Fazio course stands as a formidable par 5 stretching 502 yards, earning its #2 handicap rating through strategic complexity rather than overwhelming hazards. This straight-away design presents golfers with a deceptively challenging test where precision trumps power. The generous fairway invites aggressive tee shots, but the real challenge emerges on approach shots to a small, subtly contoured green that demands pinpoint accuracy.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center of the fairway for your tee shot, as the landing area is only 26 yards wide at the 200-yard mark. A controlled driver or 3-wood will set up the best angle for your second shot on this reachable par 5.

approach

If going for the green in two, aim for the center-left portion to avoid the greenside bunkers positioned at 451.8 and 457.5 yards. The fairway widens to 34 yards at the 250-yard mark, giving you more room to position your second shot.

hazard warning

Be aware of the bunker complex protecting the green, with sand traps at 451.8, 457.5, and 475.7 yards. These hazards guard both the layup zone and greenside area, making course management crucial.

green

The green measures 32 yards by 28 yards (5,464 sq ft), providing a generous target for approach shots. Focus on pin position and leave yourself below the hole for easier putting on this substantial putting surface.

approach

At 502 yards, this par 5 is reachable in two for longer hitters, but consider laying up to 100-120 yards if the pin is tucked behind the bunkers at 475.7 yards. A controlled wedge into this large green often yields better scoring opportunities than forcing a risky long approach.
