Feature Holes Descriptions:

Walking off a golf course trying to decide the four shot-makers holes to highlight sometimes can be a challenge. In spite of it being considered the easiest hole on the course, the sixth hole is a  fine example of  risk reward design. The long bombers can flirt with a considerable carry over lengthy well placed bunker dividing the fairway into a left or right route to the green. Laying up short of this menace still leaves a short to mid iron into a multi-level green protected well with bunkers left and right. The ninth plays along the Intracoastal, high above the water to a fairway with a severe drop in elevation aiding your roll if you are lucky. The approach plays back up to a hillside green making club selection a challenge. The 13th is a great risk reward par 5. An expansive pond makes your second shot a real head-scratcher, depending on your yardage with the driver. The cautious play is to lay-up shot of the water leaving a nearly 200 yard uphill third shot. The gutsy player must overcome the 40 yards of agua if a wedge is to be the play into this heavily sloped, stepped green complex. The par 3 14th is a gem. Playing with a backdrop of sailboats and cruisers in the Waterway, the long iron or wood must cross over a river, waterfall and fronting bunkers on the way to this lengthy tricky green.
