Hole 1 Par
5 542 Yards
A great starting hole en route to a wonderful 18 holes of golf!
Players will try and avoid the strategically placed bunkers
in the fairway. The longer hitters will go for the green in
two. A birdie is in the cards if you miss the bunkers. The green
slopes dramatically from back to front so the best position
is below the hole. |
|
|
Hole 2 Par 3 193 Yards
Players will take an extra half club to avoid the front bunker.
The green isn't very deep - a high fade to the middle of the
green is the best play.
|
|
|
Hole 3 Par 4 407 Yards
A wolf in sheep's clothing; this hole can wreak havoc if not
accurate off the tee. The players second shot is a littte
uphill, best to avoid the left side.
|
|
|
Hole 4 Par 4 424 Yards
Bunkers and mounding off the tee will get the players attention.
This hole has a tendency to play long, especially if the trade
winds are in your face. If the pin is front, don't be long,
it's a sure three-putt!
|
|
|
Hole 5 Par 4 417 Yards
Longer hitters will be forced to lay up on the tee shot, as
there is a lake looming in the middle of the fairway. Best
play is to favor the left side of the green for the approach.
|
|
|
Hole 6 Par 4 372 Yards
Those daring to chew off the dog leg will be rewarded with
a short iron second shot. The green has some tricky breaks
so players have to take an extra look.
|
|
|
Hole 7 Par 3 182 Yards
Players will find putting on this par 3 most challenging,
as the green has three separate quadrants. Those who hit their
mark will have a nice birdie chance; those who stray too far
from the pin will have a challenging two putt.
|
|
|
Hole 8 Par 4 424 Yards
Players will be forced to carve their ball from left to right
off the tee. This dog-leg right demands accuracy and length
off the tee. The approach shot is to the largest green on
the course. Players will have at least a three club differential
during the Classic, depending on the day's pin locations.
|
|
|
Hole 9 Par 5 568 Yards
Players who can bomb it down right-center of the fairway will
have the best chance of going for this par 5 in two. Avoiding
the bunkers down the right side on the second shot is a must.
The approach to this well guarded green is enhanced by the
70,000 square foot clubhouse in the background. Putting on
this green will get your pulse racing as everything slopes
toward the water.
|
|
|
Hole 10 Par 5 401 Yards
Staying focused off the tee is key, as there are many distractions
that will tighten your grip on this medium size par 4. The
fairway is widest down the left-center. The large "Death
Trap" bunker in front of the green demands a high spinning
shot to get it tight.
|
|
|
Hole 11 Par 4 407 Yards
Another demanding tee shot! A power fade from the tee opens
the hole up a bit. Players must avoid the bunkers on the right.
If the pin is back; beware of the lake behind the green. Two
putts are no guarantee on this tricky green.
|
|
|
Hole 12 Par 3 177 Yards
A well protected green will make the players sharpen up their
irons. Water in front and to the left of the green makes the
tee shot intimidating. The safe play is right-center. Another
roller-coaster putting surface awaits.
|
|
|
Hole 13 Par 5 527 Yards
"Grip it and Rip it special." A big fairway awaits
the tee shot. Longer hitters will go for the green in two.
Proper placement of the second shot is the key to the hole,
as there are two big bunkers in front of the green to catch
lots of stray shots. Great birdie opportunity.
|
|
|
Hole 14 Par 4 411 Yards
Players are sure to find this par 4 all they can handle. The
tee shot and approach are both protected by a large bunker
on the left and a lake to the right. Best placement is right-center
off the tee. One of the favorite approach shots on the course
is to this tricky green that slopes hard to the right towards
the drink.
|
|
|
Hole 15 Par 3 215 Yards
One of the most challenging par 3s in Florida! A misguided
tee shot is almost a certain three-putt on a green that has
two elephants buried underneath it!
|
|
|
Hole 16 Par 4 443 Yards
This long par 4 is generous off the tee, but accuracy is imperative
for the approach. A boomerang shaped green will have players
working hard to keep second shots on the putting surface.
The back right pin will have players scratching their heads.
|
|
|
Hole 17 Par 4 398 Yards
From the tips, this tee shot will get your attention quick.
Add the prevailing wind in your face, not to mention the water
left, and out of bounds right, this hole is sure to be a key
on Sunday! Keep your approach below the hole.

Hole 18 Par 5 582
Yards
An exciting finishing hole! A birdie hole if you can smack two
beauties down the gut. Players must avoid the hidden bunker
down the right side on a lay up shot. This green can cause fits
with any misguided approach. Who knows, a spectacular eagle
made here just might win the ACE Group Classic! |
