This
3,508 yard nine is a difficult course due to seven
of the holes surrounded with water. This course will
play very well as the back nine to the other two courses
or as a tougher starting nine. Rivers and lakes enhance
these nine holes with a variety of shots for the players
to choose from. This nine will emphasize the fact that
all 27 holes require the golfer to think.
Hole
#1 - Players will need to be warmed up for this tee shot in order to hit it over
the carry bunkers on the right side of the fairway. If
accomplished, the approach shot into the green is open.
Players hitting away from the right fairway bunkers might
find their ball feeding into a swale that makes for a more
difficult approach shot over the green-side bunker on the
left. The fairway here is tight, but the hole is short
allowing the golfer to hit a shorter club and gain accuracy
off the tee.
Hole #2 - This medium par 5 can be reached in two by hitting the tee shot down the left
side near the fairway bunker in order to set up the best
angle into the green. Those choosing to play the hole
in three shots just need to negotiate the river that
works down the entire right side of the hole. The green
is protected by the river on the right and a bunker on
the left.
Hole
#3 - The river down the right side of this long par 4 makes this a formidable golf
hole. Players will need to keep their tee shots close
to the river on the right side of the fairway for the
best angle into the green. Those hitting away from
the river may find the sandy waste on the left side
of the fairway. The green is heavily protected by a
beach bunker on the left, the river behind and a bunker
short and right require a very accurate approach shot.
Hole
#4 - The best tee shot on this hole would be to hit down the left side of the fairway
over the sandy waste to have the best angle into this
green complex. Tee shots to the right might find trouble
with the lake or end up with a difficult angle into
the green over the lake and greenside bunker. The green
is protected by 3 bunkers to the left, right and behind.
Hole
#5 - This picturesque par 3 with the river, waste bunker and stream will be a lasting
memory for all players who play this hole. The green
is heavily guarded by bunkers all the way around. There
is very little approach in front of the green for a
bump and run shot so this hole will require an accurate
shot attacking the pin.
Hole
#6 - This is the longest par 5 on the entire golf course and is the start of the "Final four". However, some yardage can be taken off the golf hole by playing close to the
right side pond on the tee shot. The second landing
area has a bunker in the middle of the fairway to contend
with and shots placed to the right side of this bunker
will have the best approach into the green. The green
is protected by a large bunker on the left and a small
bunker on the right.
Hole
#7 - This long par 4 requires accuracy and length off the tee. Hitting the tee
shot down the right side and carrying the crossing
bunkers will give a player the best angle into the
green. Shots to the left of this can cut off distance,
but leave a poor angle into the green over a green-side
bunker on the left. A waste bunker in front of the
tee will make the look of this hole a unique experience
for the golfer.
Hole
#8 - This medium length par 3 will remind the golfer of the famous #17 at teh saw
grass with its "island" green. A very accurate medium iron will be required to hit this small island
green. Slightly errant shots should get caught by the
bunker on the left before going into the lake, but
any further out than this and it's wet. There is no
room to miss short or long on this hole.
Hole
#9 - This is the last hole of the "final four" and gives the golfer a slight pause in the action with a comfortable tee shot
without too much water to worry about. Position is
everything here, so a player needs to place the tee
shot down the right side of the fairway in order to
have the best angle into the green for their second
shots. A tee shot that strays left will require a heroic
shot over a lake and greenside bunker in order to make
it to the green. |
