El Camaleon Golf Course
7,100 Yards - Par 71 - Greens: Paspalum
If you are looking for an explanation of El Camaleon Golf Course, an exposed oceanside track with jungle terrain and swampland would be a good place to start this week. That is a unique mixture since you get three different textures with that description, but golfers must traverse various hazards, including those of the architectural variety, assuming they want to find success during this open but troubling paradise.
There are very few locations on the PGA Tour where distance doesn't hold an advantage over precision, but nearly 65 percent of all top-10 finishers during the previous nine years have been shorter than average off the tee. It's not to say that distance is a negative, but accuracy players will undoubtedly see a boost. One of the reasons for that has to do with players clubbing down to avoid the plethora of hazards that come into play, and while the rough is virtually non-existent, the misses quickly increase scores if you land in the jungle or water with your opening tee-shot.
We have gotten winning scores of around 20-under par during most iterations of the contest, but I want to emphasize the possibility this turns ugly for the field. That point gets enhanced when we dive deeper into the actual metrics, as El Camaleon ranks near the top-10 on tour every season in birdie or better percentage and double bogey or worse rate. Mistakes will be made when balls get sprayed, and golfers can start to feel as if they are trapped in a tiny bubble once things begin to go wrong. The greens typically register between a 10-11 on the Stimpmeter, which is extremely slow, and we receive that set up to keep the surface pristine for the grounds crew if winds do play a factor. Overall, golfers that can find fairways off the tee and pinpoint their irons from a shorter proximity range should be at an advantage over the field, and the ability to play on a slow surface should only help matters.
Let's Look At The Stats
Stat | El Camaleon | Tour Average |
Driving Distance | N/A | 282 |
Driving Accuracy | 61% | 62% |
GIR Percentage | 67% | 65% |
Scrambling Percentage | 62% | 57% |
Average Three-Putts Per Round | 0.38 | 0.55 |
Key Stats
Let's quickly run through how I built my model.
SG: Total Under 7,200 Yards (10%)
SG: Total Slow-To-AVG Greens (12.5%)
Weighted Par-Four (15%)
Par-Five BoB (12.5%)
Weighted Total Scoring (15%)

Weighted Proximity (20%)
I will dive deeper into what went into these totals later in the week on my podcast. If you aren't doing so already, you can follow Bettor Golf Podcast on Twitter.
