Playing Hints:
Right off the bat, the first hole is a difficult par four. Take careful aim and make sure to really power this one off of the tee. Try to stay as close as possible to the middle of the fairway for the best results.
A short par three awaits you on the second hole, but it's a lot harder than it looks. Try to get on the green with your first shot to avoid getting trapped in the rough. It's pretty smooth sailing then until you reach hole five, where things get a little more complicated. Use the right combination of clubs for your style and try to avoid getting tripped up by the hazards.
The back nine are even more complex holes and since you've had a good warm up by this point you should be ready. The tenth hole is a killer but can be mastered with a few practice rounds. The twelfth hole is challenging for just about any player, but save your strength for the fifteenth hole which is a difficult par four. You're almost done and there's a nice short par three awaiting you. Again, try to iron in to get to the green for a birdie shot.
The eighteenth hole is a great place to try to get your score back up after this difficult course. It may take a few tries, but once you get the hang of Spring Valley, you'll be doing just fine.
