Hole #1

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
The 1st hole is a good opener, with the fairway narrowing beyond the 150-yard mark. Smart play is to hit your tee shot with the club that will get you around the 150 mark. The shot to the green is slightly uphill so be sure to take enough club on the approach.

BLUE: 386

GOLD: 433

RED: 280

WHITE: 325

Hole #10

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
This is simply a great, short par 4 where a player must navigate a lake both on the tee shot and approach. A long iron or fairway wood should favor the right half of the fairway, and the resulting approach needs to not only clear the water but also not fly over the green. Choose a club off the tee that leaves you your favorite wedge, then do your best to hit it in the middle of the green.

BLUE: 320

GOLD: 351

RED: 264

WHITE: 302

Hole #11

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
A long dogleg-left par 4, but be careful trying to cut the corner: If your miss is left a huge number is in your future. Favor the right half of the fairway off the tee. Then, on the long approach, if unable to hit the green the miss should be short and left to avoid the bunker on the right and allow yourself a favorable chipping angle.

BLUE: 431

GOLD: 460

RED: 374

WHITE: 392

Hole #12

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
Our widest fairway is on this dogleg right, but you want to avoid the fairway bunker protecting the right side. A relatively short par 5, but the aproach shot must navigate a lake. If going for the green in two beware that over the green is not a good deal better then short in the water. For those attempting to hit it in two, a generous bailout is to the right but that leaves a difficult pitch to a green surronded by water. The lay up is best down the left side as that anlge opens up the approach to any hole location.

BLUE: 496

GOLD: 524

RED: 382

WHITE: 466

Hole #13

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:
The prettiest par 3 on the course has a rather large green which is located just over a lake and protected by bunkers short right and left. Best bet here no matter the hole location is to do your best to find the middle of the green, which will offer an easy putt to any hole location.

BLUE: 178

GOLD: 209

RED: 106

WHITE: 141

Hole #14

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
A slight dogleg to the right with fairway bunkers in the landing area down the enitre left side. Avoiding those is key but don't venture too far right as the penalty area on that side will add strokes to your score. A large undulating green allows for a ball to be bounced up.

BLUE: 393

GOLD: 428

RED: 266

WHITE: 336

Hole #15

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
Our longest par 4 is also one of our toughest tee shots. A hidden lake awaits a drive pulled down the left side but the right side is no bargain either as too far right willl have you navigating trees. The green is our only one without a greenside bunker, and the miss for the approach should always be to the left as there is a large grassy area tp pitch from. Miss it right and you generally will pay a heavy price.

BLUE: 434

GOLD: 462

RED: 374

WHITE: 392

Hole #16

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
A true 3-shot par 5 as a creek splits the fairway around 265 yards off the blue tee. Best to play short of this creek then lay up favoring the right side. A lay up down the left brings a lake into play. The farther down the fairway you can take your lay up the better, as it makes the third shot more manageable. The green is surrounded by water short and left with two bunkers on the right. A precise approach shot is required to give yourself a chance at par or birdie.

BLUE: 520

GOLD: 549

RED: 432

WHITE: 511

Hole #17

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:
Our signature hole is a visually beautiful hole but requires a tee shot that flies the lake short of the green. The green runs diagonally from front left to back right, and tee shots pushed right often come up short in the water. Be sure to take enough club on the tee shot and you'll have a good chance at birdie.

BLUE: 150

GOLD: 185

RED: 80

WHITE: 118

Hole #18

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
Although not a long finishing hole, this hole requires two solid shots, both of which must navigate a lake. The lone fairway bunker is your aim point off of the tee. Pick a club to get it as close as you can to this bunker and you will have set yourself up for a short- to mid-iron into a severely sloped green protected by a bunker left and water everywhere else. The approach shot finishing above the hole here will leave you with a speedy downhill putt, so do your best to leave it below the hole.

BLUE: 332

GOLD: 374

RED: 249

WHITE: 288

Hole #2

Par 3

Pro’s Tip:
Our easiest par 3 by far, the two-tiered green is narrow in the front but quite wide in the middle and back.

BLUE: 157

GOLD: 195

RED: 100

WHITE: 122

Hole #3

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
A short dogleg right where the best drive is down the left half of the fairway. The green is bisected with a ridge and protected in front by a well-placed bunker.

BLUE: 364

GOLD: 391

RED: 267

WHITE: 307

Hole #4

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
A solid, long par 4 with a lake running the entire left side of the hole. A good tee shot to the right of the fairway will leave you a good angle to approach the green with a number of different options as the ball can be bounced in from that angle. The green is protected on both sides by bunkers. The best approach shot is short, allowing for a relatively easy chip to a long, narrow green.

BLUE: 415

GOLD: 447

RED: 296

WHITE: 392

Hole #5

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
A short par 5 with a tight landing area. Get your tee shot in the fairway and you have a good chance to get on or close to the green in two shots. The green is kidney-shaped with the back right area protected by a bunker and a low run-off chipping area. A good chance for birdie should you find the fairway off the tee.

BLUE: 494

GOLD: 548

RED: 391

WHITE: 472

Hole #6

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
A short, straightaway par 4, this is a good birdie opportunity--although your tee shot needs to find the fairway. The green is protected by a bunker short right of the green and a bunker on the left side.

BLUE: 312

GOLD: 341

RED: 260

WHITE: 277

Hole #7

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
A solid mid-length par 4 with a generous fairway. The best angle to approach the green is from the left half of the fairway. The kidney-shaped green is protected by bunkers short and left as well as one on the right. The front of the green is quite narrow so a front in is not as easy as it looks.

BLUE: 372

GOLD: 393

RED: 323

WHITE: 345

Hole #8

Par 5

Pro’s Tip:
A reachable par 5 for longer hitters, but for those of you needing to lay up be sure not to get closer than 100 yards as a lake awaits a layup that gets closer than that. The green has bunkers left and right but is also one of our larger ones so getting your approach on shouldn't be that hard.

BLUE: 495

GOLD: 518

RED: 379

WHITE: 470

Hole #9

Par 4

Pro’s Tip:
The only par 3 on the course without water but easily the hardest green to hit in regulation. The green is long and narrow, protected by a bunker on the left and one in the back right. You'll really need to hit a straight approach here to give yourself a chance at birdie.

BLUE: 170

GOLD: 196

RED: 119

Beautiful Arthur Hills design winds through an award winning Florida wetland forest nature preserve. This is a tough course to master. Former home of a Champions (Senior PGA) Tour event. Beautifully conditioned course.

By far an amazingly well kept and challenging course. They get the little things right; fresh towels and a cooler full of ice and bottled water pre-loaded into my cart gets me every time — particularly in July... Play this course and take note of how the design of Augusta National impacted the way Arthur Hills designed this course.
