All three nines, Sands, Cypress and Challenge are par 36, with four sets of tee decks ranging from 2,385 to 3,280 yards. Challenge is the newest of the three nines and considered the toughest. It’s certainly set apart from the other layouts with a woodland feel and tree-lined fairways and several forced carries over ravines.
It’s a toss-up between two outstanding par-4s for the toughest hole at Falcon Watch —either No. 3 on Sands or No. 9 on Challenge. The tee shot on the 395-yard third hole on Sands is crucial as the dogleg right requires an exact shot over trees on the right side and the water on both sides of the fairways and there’s a small elevated green with a large bunker to the right. No. 9 on Challenge is the longest par-4 at Falcon Watch, topping out at 400 yards. It’s not only the length, but water down the entire right side of the hole that can wreak havoc on this finishing hole. The green is also protected by water on the right and a bunker on the left.
