<strong>Hole 1<br>Par 4<br>381 Yards</strong><br><br>The hole plays 381 yards, a slight dogleg left. The green sits directly on a pond and the back left pin position is only for those with geat skill. The front of the green allows a run up shot, with plenty of bail out area. A bunker, between the left side of the green and the water, provides for a saving opportunity and requires skill to negotiate. <strong>Hole 2<br>Par 4<br>425 Yards</strong><br><br>A demanding tee shot and difficult second shot. The green has been placed in a natural setting of trees, sea grapes and mounds. Behind the green is one of the signature Oaks and should one go strongly over the green... water awaits. The fairway bunkers on the left side will only challenge the John Dalys! One should take time to note the views over the seventh green. <strong>Hole 3<br>Par 5<br>530 Yards</strong><br><br>The first par five on the golf course presents a true risk reward opportuniy. A well-placed tee shot will permit the player to hit a high shot over the trees to the middle of the green...Beware though, if you miss the green the up and down is very difficult. The alternative way to play the hole leaves a short wedge to a tiered green. <strong>Hole 4<br>Par 4<br>380 Yards</strong><br><br>The old practice range area has been changed to a very special par four hole. A slight dog leg to the left the plays 391 yards, hugs the water on the left, high mounding behind and a lane of trees off the tee. Not long, but demanding. <strong>Hole 5<br>Par3<br>275 Yards</strong><br><br>From the championship tees this par 3 plays longer than 250 yards. We will leave that tee to Raymon Floyd, who helped design the course. For the average player there is plenty of room to play the hole. If the pin placement is back right, be careful. <strong>Hole 6<br>Par4<br>445 Yards</strong><br><br>A very difficult tee shot, the green is set directly on the water with spectacular views. A saving bunker has been added behind the green to help with the long shot and add a beautiful look back from the seventh green. <strong>Hole 7<br>Par 3<br>185 Yards</strong><br><br>The 170 yard par three is truly flexible. The left side of the green is protected by the fronting bunker, the right side of the large green brings water into play. Demanding on the pin position, this can be a kitten or a tiger! <strong>Hole 8<br>Par 5<br>525 Yards</strong><br><br>A reachable par 5, but the old java tree shot right out of the greens protects it perfectly. <strong>Hole 9<br>Par 4<br>455 Yards</strong><br><br>Decisions, decisions, the double fairway par 4 permits the gambler to play up the right fairway, a carry of 215 yards if you want to have a short iron left. Choose the left fairway and the landing area is wide and generous, but the short left to the green will be longer by 90 to 100 yards. An important hole when the press is on. <strong>Hole 10<br>Par 4<br>405 Yards</strong><br><br>A natural and traditional hole, iot lays nicely into the sand ridge. A series of bunkers set into the hillside and surrounding the green help frame the hole, without additional difficulties. This is one of the few up the hill second shots to a green in Florida. <strong>Hole 11<br>Par 3<br>175 Yards</strong><br><br>A shortish par three, but the tees are set into the oak hammock and the green is carved into the ridge line. Not much trouble to the right, but do not hit left. <strong>Hole 12<br>Par 4<br>401 Yards</strong><br><br>Super Tough! An elevated tee shooting down to a very narrow fairway. The redesign has eliminated the mounded landing area, but the hole is still tough! Thank goodness the rough is mowed to a low hieght. <strong>Hole 13<br>Par 4<br>310 Yards</strong><br><br>Short par four holes are exciting, both easy and difficult. The 295 yard par four 13th will fit the reputation to a tee. Let us know what you think. <strong>Hole 14<br>Par 4<br>402 Yards</strong><br><br>A forced carry off the tee to a split fairway. The green is nestled into a mounded setting, framed by bunkers and landscaping. A well-hit tee shot will be rewarded with a short iron to the tee. A poorly hit tee shot will result in a \'re-load\'. <strong>Hole 15<br>Par 5<br>555 Yards</strong><br><br>A long par five, requiring at least three shots to land safely on the green. The water all along the left and monding on the right will require accuracy and patience. This is the first of the final holes and is intended to intensify the challenge of this course. <strong>Hole 16<br>Par 4<br>422 Yards</strong><br><br>Perhaps the most difficult par four of the golf course. The tee shot is narrow and the second shot must navigate both water right, water long and bunkers all over the place. <strong>Hole 17<br>Par 3<br>195 Yards</strong><br><br>A beautiful par 3. The tees are set into a large oak hammock and are elavated above the green. Water, sand and trees protect the green. Not a long hole, but challenging, beautiful, and with the Pro Pin placement, all you can handle. <strong>Hole 18<br>Par 4<br>441 Yards</strong><br><br>We have saved our best for last. The tee shot is to a wide receptive landing area. From there on you are on your own. The double green offers pin placements from easy to very difficult. The Signature Tree is in the middle of the two greens servicing this hole. With the pin on the left green you are faced with a full carry over water and sand.
