Signature Hole
Par 3, 15th Hole, 215-155 yards
Playing from the Black Tees the green sits perpendicular to the tee box. This leaves a narrow landing area at 215 yards to the middle of the green. The right side of the green is sloped to the left, if you hit that bank too high you will watch as your ball rolls then bounces its way to the bottom of the cliffs. The best shot is to aim at the right edge of the green with a slight draw to find center of the green.
Playing from the forward tees you have a straight look at the green. With the lingering cliffs on the left side anything to the right is going to be a safe play. You still need to watch for the bank on the right side so that it doesn’t kick your ball too far left. With a straight look at the green you have an opening to the right of the front bunker to land short and run the ball up

Signature Hole
There are too many signature holes at the Palmer course with so many unique hole layouts. One of the favorites is the picturesque par 3, #7. The par 3 measures 162 yards from the back tees and 117 yards from the forward tees. The hole plays over a large ravine some 60 to 70 feet below the green. When playing the hole make sure your miss is right as there is a bailout area right of the green. The hole plays to the yardage on the card so make sure you use the correct club. The green slopes toward the ravine and any putt right of the hole will be much quicker than a putt left of the hole.

Signature Hole
Hole No.12, Par 5, 525 yds.
The tee shot hit from a 120 foot elevation requires you to hit a landing area between two large lakes and a well-placed bunker. Once you manage your tee shot, you have a choice; either go for the green in two, which requires a total carry of 200-plus yards over water, or lay up to a generous landing area followed by a short pitch shot to a narrow green guarded by a large bunker.
Smart golfers will use their 190-yard club from the teeing area and then their 175-club to the layup area; there is a lot more room away from the lake than can be seen. This will leave about 100-yards to the center of a bowled green. More birdies have been made this way then trying to hit a 200-yard carry over water to a shallow green!

Signature Hole
Hole #13, Par 4, 424 from the tips, 325 from the forward tees
As is the case with almost all the greens at Coyote Springs, you do not want to miss your approach shot into the wrong quadrant of the green or short-side yourself. It really looks like it has a pretty significant slope from back to front. Don't be fooled. If you are putting towards the Sheep Range, putts are slower than they appear. You can leave a downhill putt here short. There is no water or out of bounds on #13 and there is a ton of grass AND par here is a very good score.
