Guide to Campo America

Opened shortly after Campo Asia, Campo America, formerly the North Course, is some 250 metres longer and carries a par of 73 (there are five par 5s).

The hilly topography is similar to Campo Asia and did not lend itself to the creation of any water holes. Carry shots across steep grunkle-covered side slopes more than make up for the lack of water.

The wide maintained fairway and rough areas and more "joined" fairways make this a slightly easier driving course than the South. There are fewer fairway bunkers as well.

Two, perhaps three, of the par 5s are reachable in two (holes 1, 9 and 15), and the par 3s are equally spectacular to those on Campo Asia.

Campo America requires accurate and well-judged shot-making on the approach as nearly three quarters of the greens are perched or slightly elevated.

HOLE 17 PAR 4 - HCP 10 The best line for the drive should be the cart path. There is a lot of grass on that side and nothing but grunkle on the right. The approach over a long grass bunker plays to a reverse-crescent shape green broken up by ridges and terraces.		355

HOLE 18 PAR 5 - HCP 6 In elevation difference alone, this is possibly the most dramatic par 5 on the coast. The tee shot plays down to a rippled landing area then doglegs sharply left and down a mogul-covered “ski slope” to an elevated and moderately trapped green. Big hitters can carry the bunkers and fig trees guarding the corner to take advantage of the slope and to set up a reasonable length second shot to the green. This is a hole made difficult mostly by the awkward stances which one may encounter, but it is a fun finishing hole for players of all levels.		508
