Hole #1
A relatively easy opening hole played from an elevated tee.
Pine trees, palmettos and a fairway bunker will gather tee shots
that attempt to cut the slight dog leg right design. Water and
trees guard the left side of the hole. Approach shots into the
green must carry the newly added pot bunker in front and avoid
the bunker that wraps around the left and back side of the green. |
|
|
Hole #2
A new back tee has added 30 yards to length of this straight
Par 4. A tee shot in the center to right center avoids the fairway
bunker on right and water on left, leaving the best approach
angle into the green. The greenside bunker will collect errant
approaches that are short and/or left. |
|
|
Hole #3
Jack Nicklaus’ 1990 redesign eliminated a fairway crossing
water hazard in the driving area. An aggressive second shot
is a gamble into a narrow green guarded by bunker on right and
left. The bunker left of the green should prevent balls from
rolling into the water hazard. The conservative three short
approach will leave a wedge into the green. |
|
|
Hole #4
The shortest Par 4 on the course requires precise tee shot placement
and approach shot into the elevated green guarded by bunkers
in front and behind. The grass bunker swale in the back right
behind the green will collect several shots that do hold the
narrow green.
|
|
|
Hole #5
A new back tee has added 50 yards to this Par 3. It is a deceptive
tee shot to judge the distance, because of a large depression
in the middle of the green. The green is a peninsular target
between water in front and left and a bunker behind. |
|
|
Hole #6
A Par 5 converted into a Par 4 for the PGA Tour’s Honda
Classic. A narrow driving hole with water on the entire left
side and a series of bunkers on the right side of landing area.
The approach is into a two tiered “L” shaped green
with bunkers guarding front left and right. |
|
|
Hole #7
A new bunker on the left side makes the tee shot into this
Par 3 more demanding. The bunkers on right side of green and
water hazard in front leave little margin for error.
|
|
|
Hole #8
Due to the additional length created by a new back tee, the
players may choose to play a driver to a point before the water
hazard crossing the fairway. An approach from the left to left
center of the fairway provides the best angle into the green
and avoids having to carry the bunker in right front of green. |
|
|
Hole #9
A new back tee requires the tee shot to carry the water hazard
and makes the lay-out into a more severe dog leg left. Water
guards the entire left side. A large steep faced bunker in front
and a deep bunker behind, requires a lofted approach to the
green. |
|
|
Hole #10
A Par 5 converted to a Par 4 for the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic.
A dog leg right from an elevated tee allows the player to drive
over or just left of the fairway bunker at corner. The second
shot will need to avoid a pot bunker guarding the entrance to
green between bunkers on right and left of the green. |
|
|
Hole #11
The aggressive tee shot will be placed down the narrow left
side between the two water hazards and leaves a shorter approach.
The conservative tee shot is laid-up in front of the right side
water hazard, leaving a long carry over water to a narrow green.
The large deep bunker behind the green will require a precise
recovery from long approach shots. |
|
|
Hole #12
A tee shot in the left center of the fairway avoids the fairway
bunkers on both sides of the landing area and leaves the best
angle of approach to the green. A grove of pine trees and a
bunker protect the right and front portion of the greens. A
large mound behind the green provides great spectator viewing
and a back drop to this relatively flat putting green. |
|
|
Hole #13
This relatively short Par 4 requires a well positioned tee shot
to avoid the water hazard on right and series of bunkers from
150 yards to the green on left side. The approach requires a
lofted shot to the elevated bunker encircled green. |
|
|
Hole #14
A dog leg left Par 4 with water guarding the entire length of
the right side. An aggressive tee shot will avoid the three
small fairway bunkers at the corner of the dog leg and reach
the narrow landing area. The approach shot is into a large multi-tiered
green. |
|
|
Hole #15
Welcome to “The Bear Trap”. A tee shot that reaches
the green must carry the water hazard. To bail out left or long
will leave a very difficult pitch or bunker shot to save Par. |
|
|
Hole #16
This dog leg right around and over the water requires two well
struck and positioned shots. The conservative tee shot to the
left side of fairway may find the fairway bunker and will leave
a 200+ yard approach over water to the green. |
|
|
Hole #17
A new back tee added another 20 yards to this intimidating Par
3. Similar to Hole #15, the only way to reach the green from
the elevated tee is to carry the water hazard. A safe play to
the left or long will result in a very difficult pitch or bunker
shot with the water collecting any shot hit past the green. |
|
|
Hole #18
This Par 5 will now play over 600 yards from the new back tee.
The tee shot must carry the water and be placed between water
hazards on right and left. The layout of the double dog leg
defines where each shot is to be placed. An aggressive second
shot will need to avoid the water hazard on right and bunkers
on left to find the narrow approach to the green. |
