Hole #1 Par 5 | 573 Yards 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.
Tiburón Golf ClubPar: 72 - 7,288 Yards Hole No. 1 Par 5 573 Yards
Hole #2 Par 4 | 440 Yards Finding the fairway is paramount on this tight, right-to-left par 4. The support slope on the right side of the fairway will help kick the drive around the dogleg. An accurate second shot is required to this deep but narrow crowned green.

Hole #3 Par 4 | 458 Yards 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.
Tiburón Golf ClubPar: 72 - 7,288 Yards Hole No. 3 Par 4 458 Yards
Hole #4 Par 4 | 428 Yards 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.
