Hole 1 395 YARDS, 362 METERS PAR 4 A well designed starting hole. The new Championship tee provides an excellent view of the hole and the downhill tee shot must be well placed to avoid expansive bunkers on the left side of the fairways. The second shot is uphill to a well-bunkered green and demands an exact shot to ensure par. The green is challenge in itself, with players aiming to make their putts from	Hole 2 204 YARDS, 186 METERS, PAR 3 The first of four demanding par 3 holes. From the tee the entire tee all the obstacles are clearly in view. The green is quite large but players are often short of the putting surface on their first shot. A well-played shot will provide a good birdie opportunity. A well designed starting hole. The new Championship tee provides an excellent view of the hole and the downhill tee shot must be well placed to avoid expansive bunkers on the left side of the fairways. The second shot is uphill to a well-bunkered green and demands an exact shot to ensure par. The green is a challenge in itself, with players aiming to make their putts from the right side of the hole. the right side of the hole.
Hole 3 449 YARDS, 410 METERS,PAR 4 The longest par 4 on the course and perhaps the most difficult. The fairway is narrow, tree lined and uphill all the way, leaving no margin for an errant tee shot. A successful drive presents the player with the problem of negotiating his second shot around the largest (and oldest) Calabash tree on the golf course. Checking the pin position is critical to scoring potential due to the length of the green.	Hole 4 408 YARDS, 373 METERS, PAR 4 The new Championship tee demands a testing drive that must carry the mounds to the top of the hill in order to allow visibility of the green for the second shot. A good drive will give the player a short iron to the green and the longer hitters will favour the right side of the fairway. The green is narrow and drops off sharply - getting the ball up and down from the back is difficult.
Hole 5 398 YARDS, 364 METERS, PAR 4 A classic example of the punishing nature of the surrounding Rubber tree plantation where a wayward shot will be costly. The fairway slopes towards a deep hollow on the right, so a right to left shot is ideal. Large bunkers guard the left and right front of the green, which drops away to the back.	Hole 6 556 YARDS, 508 METERS, PAR 5 The first par 5 on the course. From the tee a player has to negotiate the Coconut trees guarding the left side of the fairway and a single Flame tree in the center. A water hazard lurks for the long hitter so a driver is rarely the club used from the tee and reaching the green in two is not easy. Playing your second shot into the landing area short of the bunkers will allow an easy pitch for a safer birdie opportunity.
Hole 7 205 YARDS, 187 METERS, PAR 3 There is no room for error at this par 3. An excellent test of golfing skills, the natural setting of the 7th and the added design features require proper club selection from the tee and a confident swing to get the ball on the green. One of toughest greens on the course, putting will test the nerves of any player.	Hole 8 402 YARDS, 368 METERS, PAR 4 The new Championship tee adds more length to bring the fairway bunkers into play. A well placed tee shot favoring the right side will give the player a bird's eye view of the well-guarded green. A properly executed shot from here should yield another good birdie opportunity.
Hole 9 561 YARDS, 512 METERS, PAR 5 Making par on this superior 'half-way' hole should be relatively easy for the professionals. Problems can be encountered on the tee shot with three bunkers lurking on the right side of the fairway. A long tee shot will tempt a player to try and reach the green in two. This challenge requires a very precise second shot over the water hazard towards the clubhouse into a very undulating green.	Hole 10 392 YARDS 358 METERS PAR 4 From the tee you get a clear picture of the hole and a breathtaking panoramic view of Phang Nga Bay that can make event the most attentive player lose concentration. A relatively easy hole when played down the right side of the fairway with a normal drive, leaving a short iron second. Several bunkers on the left side of the fairway and surrounding the green are you only contentions.
Hole 11 544 YARDS, 498 METERS, PAR 5 The 'Blue Monster'. This is one of the longest holes on the course and usually requires three good shots to reach the green. Any player going for the green in two thoughts will need to carry the stream, which crosses the fairway. The ideal tee shot is down the right. This will avoid the fairway bunkers and gives a view of the long and narrow green, which is well guarded by bunkers and water.	Hole 12 442 YARDS, 404 METERS, PAR 4 The new Championship tee added for this year's tournament means that the second shot to the scenic green, over a creek protecting the front and with water down the right, can be anything from a 4-iron to a 3-wood. A daunting shot even for these top players.
Hole 13 394 YARDS, 360 METERS The 13th at Blue Canyon strikes fear into the hearts of all levels of golfers. Our signature holes, aptly named 'The Canyon', and is the first of two holes which players will go home talking about. It is not long but the tee shot is still the key. It must be struck accurately into the landing area to give a comfortable second shot. Recovery from an overhit shot to the shallow green is very difficult.	Hole 14 169 YARDS, 155 METERS Rightly named 'The Island', the 14th is truly a natural island green, perhaps one of the only ones in the world. Small consolation for the golf balls that will be lost in the surrounding lagoon. There is no room for tee shot error - you must have the right club and confidence in your swing at this dramatic hole.
Hole 15 586 YARDS, 535 METERS, PAR 5 A double dogleg, requiring a good tee shot to clear the first water hazard. The drive should be played to the left center of the fairway to avoid 'out-of bounds' on the right and allowing a better view of the hole for the second shot landing area. A second water feature confronts the player in the form of a creek crossing the fairway. The elongated green is guarded on the left by a large wood-faced bunker.	Hole 16 360 YARDS, 330 METERS, PAR 4 The second hole designed to allow the player time to catch his breath before tackling the difficult 17th and 18th. A reasonable drive and a short to medium iron into the smallest green on the course provide the player with a much needed birdie opportunity.
Hole 17 221 YARDS, 202 METERS, PAR 3 The longest and arguably the most difficult short hole on the course, described by Fred Couples as "one of the best par-3s anywhere in the world." The tee shot must carry the water to a long, L-shaped green that slopes gently from front to back. The size of the green and the pin placement can make this a supreme test of putting and the 17th may be the hole where the Classic is won or lost.	Hole 18 413 YARDS, 378 METERS, PAR 4 The finish at Blue Canyon runs 413 yards from the back tee to the green, fronted all the way by water on the right side of the fairway. It demands an accurate drive into the narrow landing area. The second is played directly towards the backdrop of the clubhouse into a difficult green. Any player who misses the green may see his ball end up in the creek or thick rough and will have a hard task-making par.
