Feature Holes Descriptions:
Number 3 is a Par 5 dogleg left that has a series of bunkers pinching in the landing area for those looking to layup and a lagoon guarding the green site for those long hitters feeling brave. Par 3 Hole 6 is all carry over the tidemarsh if you want to get close, with plenty of bail out right for those faint of heart. Hole 15 is a great Par 5, that has play dictated by the outcome of your drive. Long hitters can take a rip over the fronting lagoon to the raised green, while the safer routing brings 2 massive trees into play to negotiate your third shot. Short Par 4 Number 17 doglegs right and presents a variety of ways to play the hole for both the bold and timid (read smart) players.
