CONCIERGE SECRETS

AMW Faves List

Favorite Par 3 – #4 – A different hole from each tee box.  Spin the wheel and land on the number.  Pick a club and go!
Favorite Par 4 – #2 – Think of the 4th hole like five-card draw, pick your best “cards” and play wisely. With sand and water everywhere, the hole is full of risk and reward, offering the chance for a perfect “flush” if you navigate it skillfully.
Favorite Par 5 – #5 – The bunkering on the 5th hole is hard to describe because it’s pure artistry. Fun, creative, and full of imagination, the hole invites players to think their way around rather than simply swing away.
Favorite Hole Design – #15 – A short par 4 that leads into temptation but delivers optimum opportunity if played correctly.
Easiest Hole – #10 – Opening the back nine with a birdie opportunity really gets the juices flowing. This drivable par 4 tempts players from every tee box, but only if you successfully navigate the guarding bunkers.
Hardest Hole – #18 – Water hugs the entire left side, demanding accuracy off the tee. As a par 5 closing the round, it’s a demanding and fittingly tough finishing hole that requires smart decisions all the way to the final green.
Favorite Extra Sighting – 
Favorite Apres Golf – If you like casinos, the Golden Nugget is a good one!
