Tiburón opens with a long par 5. Players are advised to check the distance to the lake off the tee, as it is reachable.

Hugging the right side of the fairway will present a chance to go for the green in two. Those laying up should take the water out of play and aim just left of the fairway bunker.

The support slope on the right side of the fairway will help kick the drive around the dogleg.

Like the previous hole, the support slope on the right side of the fairway can used to avoid the waste bunker that protects the entire left side of the hole and extends behind the green.

The generous green is protected left by the waste bunker and right by a collection swell.

Aiming left of the fairway bunker from the tee leaves an open approach to the large rolling green. The green complex is protected on the left by the large lake that runs along the entire hole and on the right side by the sod-wall bunker. The smart play is to the center of the green on the approach to take the hazards out of play.

Wind conditions can dictate club selection on the longest par 3 on the course.

The large green is well protected by sod-wall bunkers left and right. Again, playing to the center of the green is the smart move here. Par is a very good score.

The sixth is the longest hole on the course, and the ideal drive is up the left center of the fairway.

Only the longest players can reach the green in two, so laying up on the left side of the fairway near the fairway bunkers leaves the best approach to this small shallow green.

This short par 4 demands a right-to-left drive to find the fairway.

Driver is not necessary off the tee since the left side of the fairway leaves the best angle to the small green.

This short par 3 is protected by a lake and sod-wall bunker left and waste bunkers right.

A high fade to the right center of the green is the safest play. The slope of the green can be used to collect shots to the protected left pin placements.

Finding the fairway is paramount off the tee to this long par 4. The right side of the fairway will leave an approach that requires little or no carry over the water.

The safe play is to the right center of the green. Don't come up short, as sand and water protect the front and left of the green.

This short left-to-right par-4 hole gives a player many options off the tee. The conservative play is to lay up short of the left fairway bunkers with a long iron or fairway wood, leaving a short iron to an open green. Those choosing driver off the tee need to play up the right side to avoid driving through the fairway.

This left-to-right par 5 is a three-shot hole for most players. The longest players can cut the corner off the tee and avoid the water to the right. The left side of the fairway leaves the best angle for the second shot, and players are advised to take enough club to safely clear the water. The green is protected by a large bunker.

This par 5 is reachable with a good drive up the left side. Be aware of the water up the right side on your second shot. Those laying up should play short of the approach bunkers or up into the generous collection areas left of the green. This leaves a short pitch to a small rolling green.
