Juniper Point Hole #1 (Par 3)

This Par 3 here that opens the Coast To Coast Tournament is easy in terms of “you can’t really mess it up” but also makes it a little inconsistent to go for the hole-in-one as well. The green slopes towards the pin so you will always get near to it but you can’t really aim directly at the pin.
I do aim a little to the right side as you can see in the image and don’t use any sidespin at all only some backspin and you will get close to the pin for the birdie and sometimes you’re lucky and get the hole-in-one here.

Juniper Point Hole #2 (Par 4)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 3-5 Top | 0-1 Back |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 10% | -10% |
| 🏐 Ball | Marlin (Rookie), Katana (Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Quarterback (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | Thorn (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Hornet (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
You want to make as much distance as possible in your drive and play on the left-hand side to get through the fairway door left of the trees so you have a nice approach in your second shot.
Use some topspin and aim in the middle of the fairway door there and adjust your wind correctly and you should be fine to get your open shot in your 2nd shot.

The second shot will be uphill, so keep that in mind when adjusting your shot and you want to prevent getting too hot on the green or you will risk going over that green.
To approach the pin directly here you should use a short iron and bounce on the fairway and aim straight towards the pin. This normally give you the right speed but you might add 1 bar of backspin when there’s tough tailwind and you are at maximum distance for the second shot.
City Park Hole #3 (Par 5)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | – | Max Top when bouncing over the rough |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 10% | 0% |
| 🏐 Ball | Marlin (Rookie), Titan (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | Big Dawg (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
This Par 5 is all about distance but the thing here is that reaching the green in 2 shots is very tough and requires you to do 2 shots with full overpower so I rather recommend here not going all-in and play it conservatively by laying the ball in your drive and get to the green in 3.
So, in your drive you just lay the ball before the bunker so you can use a wood with a good distance in your second shot. Nothing special here, not even spin needed to get it in a good position. With strong head wind you might use some topspin.
[adinserter block=”4″]
In your second shot you now have two options, either bounce over the rough spot here or use some overpower to land it over the rough directly.
This depends what ball you use, what club level you have and also how close to the bunker you reached in your drive. Bottom line, both shots do the same for your third shot where you can reach the green.
The third shot now let you approach the pin but you normally have to bounce it on the fringe so you need some luck to actually get your eagle here.
But hey, your opponent has the same problems so playing it save here instead of risking too much is still the best way to handle this Par 5 in the Coast To Coast Tournament 🙂
City Part Hole #4 (Par 4)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 5+ Top; 2-4 Right | |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 10% | 0% |
| 🏐 Ball | Navigator (Rookie), Katana (Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | Thorn (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
In the drive you want to get as much distance as possible to get some nice topspin set and use the driver that will give you the most distance.
The drive isn’t that hard and the only thing you need to make sure is that you do bounce over the bunker here and set some sidespin to the right to lay the ball on the fairway comfortably.
[adinserter block=”5″]
In your second shot you can actually approach the pin directly and have many options here.
I like to do the bounce on the fringe here without adding any spin but that also depends on what short iron you use. You can also bounce on the green and use some backspin here as well.
This is one of the spots where you can get an eagle in the Cost To Coast Tournament.
City Park Hole #5 (Par 3)
| Drive | ||
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 4-5 Back | |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 10% | |
| 🏐 Ball | Marlin (Rookie), Katana (Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Saturn (Rookie) | Backbone (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
This Par 3 here in the Coast To Coast Tournament is also tricky because the green slopes down and is not flat so there’s many ways how your ball can jump some inches too far to the left or right and make you miss that hole-in-one.
[adinserter block=”6″]
Use a club here that gives you at least 4-5 bars of backspin when you directly play on the green and there’s not much more that you can do than aiming straight towards the pin and adjust the wind correctly.
I’m honest with you, getting a hole-in-one here is really difficult so don’t get your expectations up too much and take the birdie here as a good result. The green slopes towards the pin so getting close to the pin is all you need 🙂
Juniper Point Hole #6 (Par 5)
| Drive | ||
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | Max Top | 3-4 Back, Max Right |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 20% | 10% |
| 🏐 Ball | Titan (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | Viper (Rookie), Sniper (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
The problem with this hole that many have is that playing on the right side is not tempting as the rough spot there that you have to bounce over is not easy to play so they play on the left side over the island.
I wouldn’t recommend going over the left side because if you get stuck there in the rough you can basically throw this hole into the trash and you will not get anything here and the right side is a lot more likely to get you something like an eagle.
So, in your drive you need a Power III ball to get that distance and also a driver that has the most distance and you can then use max topspin and you will get into a good spot.
[adinserter block=”7″]
In your second shot you can now approach the pin directly with a wood club and you need some backspin and also maximum sidespin tot the right and aim that your second bounce is on the fringe (as you can see in the image).
This is one of the best opportunities to albatross in the Coast To Coast Tournament.
Juniper Point Hole #7 (Par 3)
| Drive | ||
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 1-2 Top | |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 10% | |
| 🏐 Ball | Marlin (Rookie), Quasar (Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Viper (Rookie), Sniper Level 4+ (Rookie) | Quarterback (Pro/Expert) |
The Par-3’s are not easy in the Coast To Coast Tournament and this one is also not easy, like the earlier ones.
To be honest here, all you are looking for is to get on the green and keep the ball near the pin for the birdie here, everything else is pure bonus. If you are too hot you will get over the green and if you’re not giving the ball enough power you will roll back from the green, that’s the tough thing here. My personal preference here is about 1.5 bars of topspin.

City Park Hole #8 (Par 4)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | 4-5 Top | Max Left |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 10% | 0% |
| 🏐 Ball | Titan (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | Big Dawg (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
The drive here is probably the trickiest in the Coast To Coast Tournament because the fairway is bumpy and you have so many sections with rough and bunkers there, but playing it calm helps a lot.
Don’t do anything crazy here like bumping over bunkers, simply keep it in the middle and add some topspin to get further down the fairway and you set yourself into a nice spot for your second shot.
[adinserter block=”9″]
In your second shot you need to do a double bounce because it’s not possible to reach the green directly or approach the pin here directly.
All you need to do is to use all the sidespin to the left and aim your second bounce on the fairway close to the green to roll on the green and get your birdie after that. Using topspin here is really dangerous and you can easily go over the green and have a tough spot for the birdie so don’t risk that and take the birdie here!
City Park Hole #9 (Par 5)
| Drive | 2nd Shot | |
|---|---|---|
| ↩️ Spin | Max Top; Max Left | Max Top; Max Left |
| ⛳️ Overadjust | 20% | 0% |
| 🏐 Ball | Titan (Rookie/Pro/Expert) | |
| 🏑 Club(s) | Extra Mile (Rookie/Pro/Expert), Apocalypse (Pro/Expert) | Big Dawg (Rookie/Pro/Expert) |
I personally like playing on the left side here a lot more because you have a better landing spot and better options for your second shot here, but you can also play on the right side in the Coast To Coast Tournament.
[adinserter block=”10″]
With a wood club that gives you distance and a Power II ball you can now reach the green in your second shot and go for the eagle easily.
Use max topspin and sidespin and you don’t need to bounce over that bunker and can go from the side and find yourself in a very good spot for the final shot 🙂
