1st Hole

Par 4 · 434

Pro’s Tip:
The ideal tee shot is down the center right side of the fairway as long left may bring trees into play on your approach shot. Long hitters may take a more aggressive and riskier line over the bunker in hopes for a shorter club in. Play your approach shot a few yards longer and remember, middle of this larger green is a good place to put from on your opening hole.

Heights Hole 1

2nd Hole

Par 5 · 470

Pro’s Tip:
Aim your drive down the center left of the fairway to avoid the right bunker. On your second shot you may have a decision to make as there is water along the approach to the green from 100 yards and in. If you are laying up like most mere mortals, keep you shot to the right side of the fairway this takes the water left out of play, and leaves you a good angle into the diagonal green. If you are going for the green in two, crisp contact will be required to carry the distance and still hold the green. Either way you play it, a birdie could be in your grasp!

Tee 5: 414

Heights Hole 2

3rd Hole

Par 3 · 170

Pro’s Tip:
If you feel a little wind, do not be afraid to play the full carry distance. Playing to the middle of the green will provide a birdie putt to any pin position.

Tee 2: 144

Tee 3: 140

Tee 5: 124

Heights Hole 3

4th Hole

Par 5 · 551

Pro’s Tip:
Focus on this tee shot as accuracy off the tee is the most paramount on this downhill par 5 with out of bound in play left and right. Aim shots down the left side of the fairway as everything will feed right from there. This narrow green slopes from back to front so it is ideal to stay below the hole if possible.

Tee 1: 551

Tee 2: 524

Tee 3: 503

Tee 4: 465

Tee 5: 423

Heights Hole 4

5th Hole

Par 4 · 396

Pro’s Tip:
This beautiful par 4 plays differently from all angles. There are bunkers left and right that come in to play for most players and aiming at the right edge of the left bunker is a sound play. On your approach shot to green, it is good to know that the hole plays about a half club less. Middle of the green is good here as all bunkers are in play. Avoid being long in the back bunker or par will be hard to come by.

Tee 1: 396

Tee 2: 361

Tee 3: 342

Tee 4: 337

Tee 5: 276

Heights Hole 5

6th Hole

Par 4 · 350

Pro’s Tip:
This slightly uphill par 4 requires a solid tee shot down the center right of the fairway. The fairway bunker on the right side is treacherous and can make it difficult to make par. Play your approach shot at least a half club more to this elevated green.

Tee 1: 350

Tee 2: 333

Tee 3: 306

Tee 4: 300

Tee 5: 300

Heights Hole 6

7th Hole

Par 4 · 383

Pro’s Tip:
A straight uphill par 4 with a narrow fairway sloping right to left and bunker left, this will challenge your focus! Playing up the right center is an ideal tee shot that will leave you in the fairway with a good iron in to this elevated two-tiered green. Play your approach shot a full club up. The left green side bunker is an avoid-at-all-cost bunker, as your will most likely bring an over par score.

Tee 1: 383

Tee 2: 362

Tee 3: 328

Tee 4: 324

Tee 5: 257

Heights Hole 7

8th Hole

Par 4 · 376

Pro’s Tip:
One of the tougher holes on the course, this slight dogleg left par 4 is made tougher if this fairway is missed. Right side of the left bunker is a good aim point take, and playing with less than driver may help take the left fairway bunker out of play. This is another two-tiered green that will require about a half a club extra on your approach shot.

Tee 1: 376

Tee 2: 353

Tee 3: 346

Tee 4: 315

Tee 5: 293

Heights Hole 8

9th Hole

Par 3 · 184

Pro’s Tip:
Our signature hole and this long par 3 is a beauty! A three-tiered green that you will want to play to the middle for front pin, back for middle pin, and a little long for that back-tier pin location. Par is always a great score here and do not let the distractions get in your head. Enjoy the beauty in this beast of a hole.

Tee 1: 184

Tee 2: 155

Tee 3: 136

Tee 4: 130

Tee 5: 115

Heights Hole 9

10th Hole

Par 4 · 411

Pro’s Tip:
Favor the left side of this fairway as the fairway will push balls right on this slightly downhill par 4. From the top of the hill the play will be a half club less. If your drive makes is down the slope, then your approach shot will play the true distance. This larger green slopes from back to front so it pays to stay below the hole.

Tee 1: 411

Tee 2: 389

Tee 3: 348

Tee 4: 340

Tee 5: 283

Heights Hole 10

11th Hole

Par 4 · 412

Pro’s Tip:
This challenging par 4 typically plays straight into the wind. Left of center is a good aim point for your tee shot and will help you avoid the fairway bunker on the right. Your approach shot distance will be a half club shorter lest there is wind in your face; then play the distance or more depending on the severity. The green in larger and slopes from back to front and slightly left to right.

Tee 1: 412

Tee 2: 378

Tee 3: 361

Tee 4: 336

Tee 5: 315

Heights Hole 11

12th Hole

Par 3 · 202

Pro’s Tip:
If ever there was an argument to have two signature holes at a course, then The Heights would be the Club and this longer par 3 protected by water in front and on the left would be our second one! Playing the upper back tee, play this hole the true distance. Playing all other tees, you want to club up as there will be wind you typically will not feel from these tees. This hole is pretty to look at, but it will bite back. Make sure you do your best to get on the narrow green as there is no guarantee of an up and down.

Tee 1: 202

Tee 2: 166

Tee 3: 155

Tee 4: 146

Tee 5: 110

Heights Hole 12

13th Hole

Par 5 · 486

Pro’s Tip:
This uphill par 5 offers a chance to gain a stroke back with a solid tee shot up the slope. Stay focused and play down the right side of the fairway as balls will be pushed left. Long hitters may decide to carry the bunker right, but make sure you can carry it as the uphill requires a little bit extra. If you decide to go for it, the right front of the green is a great aim point. If you are laying up, again, favor the right side of the fairway and land in a wedge distance you like. The two-tiered green is challenging, but a well-played wedge in may give a good chance at birdie.

Tee 1: 486

Tee 2: 459

Tee 3: 445

Tee 4: 413

Tee 5: 278

Heights Hole 13

14th Hole

Par 4 · 401

Pro’s Tip:
This straightforward par 4 plays slightly uphill. You will want to split the fairway bunkers to avoid trouble. On your approach take half a club less as wind is usually behind you. This can be a good birdie hole, but do not disrespect the contours of this green or over par maybe your score.

Tee 1: 401

Tee 2: 365

Tee 3: 371

Tee 4: 339

Tee 5: 290

Heights Hole 14

15th Hole

Par 4 · 412

Pro’s Tip:
A dogleg left, slightly downhill par 4 with a fairway bunker on the left that is reachable by all. The mountain peak in the distance is a great aim point or you can favor the right side as your drive will go left. Take one less club on your approach but stay out of the front greenside bunker if the hole location is up front.

Tee 1: 412

Tee 2: 392

Tee 3: 371

Tee 4: 366

Tee 5: 321

Heights Hole 15

16th Hole

Par 3 · 168

Pro’s Tip:
This easy looking par 3 with a larger green can change your perspective quickly if you miss the green. This hole usually requires a half a club extra. Play to the center of the green and you will have a putt to any hole location. However, miss this green and your short game will be tested to save par.

Tee 1: 168

Tee 2: 146

Tee 3: 142

Tee 4: 129

Tee 5: 129

Heights Hole 16

17th Hole

Par 5 · 501

Pro’s Tip:
Another great risk reward par 5 that will test your skill. This dogleg right is typically a three-shot hole that requires good aim and quality ball striking to a green protected on three sides by water. From the tee, take less than driver and play towards the left fairway bunker to help make your layup angle better. With driver in hand a fade off the tee will keep you in the fairway, but out of bounds lingers both left and right. For your second shot, a layup focused down the middle right side will roll to within a wedge distance. On your approach shot, stay focused from this downhill lie as clean contact will help you control the ball flight into this well protected green. If your nerves are a little high, stay right and middle of the green to keep the water out of play. If you decide to go for it, play the distance as you cannot often feel the wind near the green.

Tee 1: 501

Tee 2: 487

Tee 3: 454

Tee 4: 449

Tee 5: 405

Heights Hole 17

18th Hole

Par 4 · 415

Pro’s Tip:
This uphill, dogleg left par 4 is a fun way to finish your round at Bernardo Heights Country Club. A good tee shot here will set you up for one last birdie chance. The approach shot to this green will require your full attention as the complex is well protected by bunkers and rough. Take one half to a full club more than you think on your approach to the green so you carry the front bunker from an uphill lie in the fairway. The green slopes heavily from front to back and left to right. Keep your approach shot below the hole location and you will have a good chance of finishing with a one-putt!
