THE Ryder Cup is back with some of the world's best golfers battling it out as Europe host the United States.<\/p>\n

The Marco Simone Golf and Country Club on the outskirts of Rome, Italy is the venue ready for the drama that gets underway on September 29.<\/p>\n

No.1, 445 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

The bold play is to challenge the left bunker on the slight dogleg left and keep short of two bunkers on the right. That will leave a short iron to the green. <\/p>\n

To play it safer will leave a mid-iron to a green protected by a steep ridge in front of a large bunker to the left.<\/p>\n

No.2, 476 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

A 275-yard shot should cover a bunker, with two more bunkers beyond it. The safe shot is a shorter club to the right. <\/p>\n

There's a bunker about 45 yards short of the green and a severe slope beyond and left of the green.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.3, 453 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

The deep native grass offers two options. A safe, straight shot leaves a mid-iron to a slightly elevated green. <\/p>\n

Or big hitters can try to cut the right corner of the dogleg, but the fairway is framed by the deep stuff.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.4, 185 yards, Par 3<\/h2>\n

The hole plays slightly downhill and should be little more than a short iron to a two-tiered green. Two bunkers must be avoided.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.5, 376 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

This hole presents the first water hazard on the course.<\/p>\n

It gives players an option to use the driver down the right side and leave a short iron to the green, or play short of the water and leave a longer shot to the hole.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.6, 383 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

Players will have the option of playing short of a huge bunker on the right or squeezing a driver over the bunker to leave a flip wedge to green with several ridges.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.7, 219 yards, Par 3<\/h2>\n

The hole can play anywhere from 145 yards to 220 yards depending on tees and particularly pin positions on this long, kidney-shaped green with two bunkers.<\/p>\n

Two putts from long range on this green will be adventurous.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.8, 503 yards, Par 5<\/h2>\n

This will be easily reachable in two, but the drive must stay short of the water, which wraps around the left of the green. <\/p>\n

Anyone having to lay up has to keep it down the right for a good angle with the wedge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.9, 587 yards, Par 5<\/h2>\n

The drive must avoid two bunkers on the right before contemplating whether to try to reach the green in two. <\/p>\n

This runs opposite the eighth hole, and there's a small area of water left of the green. The trouble is long into native grass for the bunkers framing the right side of the green.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.10, 455 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

A strong drive to the centre of the fairway leaves a short or mid-iron to the green, which is protected by two bunkers on the right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.11, 330 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

How to approach this reachable par 4 depends on the pin position. <\/p>\n

The hole plays slightly uphill, a steep slope short and right sends the ball into a depression area. <\/p>\n

A back left pin might lead players to lay up because of the bunkers sat on the left side.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.12, 554 yards, Par 5<\/h2>\n

An accurate driver will provide for a long iron to reach the two-tiered greens. Par is likely to lose the hole here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.13, 145 yards, Par 3<\/h2>\n

The difficulty of this short par 3 is the green being exposed and subject to wind. <\/p>\n

The big miss is to the left of this two-tiered green.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.14, 495 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

This long par 4 plays slightly downhill and only big hitters might try to cover the two bunkers on the left of this slight dogleg. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.15, 478 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

Bunkers are to the right on the tee shot and should be avoided to leave a mid-iron to a green that features three bunkers guarding the right side.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.16, 352 yards, Par 4<\/h2>\n

The safe play is a 200-yard tee shot that sets up a wedge to the green with a pond to the right. <\/p>\n

But players might be tempted to use a driver to fly the ball 300 yards to cover the creek, there is two bunkers guarding the green and the water on the right to contend with.<\/p>\n

This hole is set to be decisive should contests make it this far.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.17, 206 yards, Par 3<\/h2>\n

The hole slopes to the left, but its trouble to get tee shots caught in thick grass above the green to the right. A huge bunker is front and right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No. 18, 626 yards, Par 5<\/h2>\n

For matches that get this far, the advantage is to the longer hitters, who can reach in two. <\/p>\n

But there is a water hazard that juts out short and left of the green. <\/p>\n
