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.
