Standard — build a steady putting routine

<cite index="16-1">The 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by Chris Lutzke, in collaboration with legendary golf course architect Pete Dye, and is a rolling, links-style layout.</cite> <cite index="16-3,16-4">The signature hole at Eagle Eye is the par-3 17th, which is modeled after the famous island green at Pete Dye's Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass and plays to only 146 yards from the longest tee, but the green sits in the middle of water.</cite>

RECOMMENDED ROUTINE

20-minute pre-round putting routine

Adapt timing to your practice green availability and arrival window.

3–6 foot start-line check

Hit 10 putts from short range and watch your face control. Pick one ball mark or grass blade as a target — this is your line accuracy check before everything else. Bentgrass holds its line cleanly, so misses from this range are usually face-angle errors, not green reads.

5 min

15 / 25 / 35 foot distance ladder

Build your stroke-length feel for the most common lag putt distances. Three putts at each distance. The goal is getting the second putt inside the leather, not making the first. High-slope course — expect severe undulation. Practice ladder distances from both above and below the hole.

8 min

Uphill / downhill speed calibration

If the practice green has slope: hit 5 uphill and 5 downhill putts from the same distance. Hit at least 5 putts each direction. This is where the practice green tells you what the course will play like today.

5 min

Pressure finish

Make 8 out of 10 from 4–6 feet before leaving. If you miss two in a row, reset the count. The goal is leaving the green with confidence, not a number. Greens may have more wear around the cup at high-traffic courses — your last putts will tell you what the actual surface is doing.
