HOLE-BY-HOLE INFO

1st HOLE

Par 4 · 386 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 386

Tee 2: 433

Tee 3: 280

Tee 4: 325

2nd HOLE

Par 3 · 157 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 157

Tee 2: 195

Tee 3: 100

Tee 4: 122

3rd HOLE

Par 4 · 364 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 364

Tee 2: 391

Tee 3: 267

Tee 4: 307

4th HOLE

Par 4 · 415 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 415

Tee 2: 447

Tee 3: 296

Tee 4: 392

5th HOLE

Par 5 · 494 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 494

Tee 2: 548

Tee 3: 391

Tee 4: 472

6th HOLE

Par 4 · 312 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 312

Tee 2: 341

Tee 3: 260

Tee 4: 277

7th HOLE

Par 4 · 372 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 372

Tee 2: 393

Tee 3: 323

Tee 4: 345

8th HOLE

Par 5 · 495 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 495

Tee 2: 518

Tee 3: 379

Tee 4: 470

9th HOLE

Par 4 · 170 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 170

Tee 2: 196

Tee 3: 119

Tee 4: 145

10th HOLE

Par 4 · 320 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 320

Tee 2: 351

Tee 3: 264

Tee 4: 302

11th HOLE

Par 4 · 431 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 431

Tee 2: 460

Tee 3: 374

Tee 4: 392

12th HOLE

Par 5 · 496 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 496

Tee 2: 524

Tee 3: 382

Tee 4: 466

13th HOLE

Par 3 · 178 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 178

Tee 2: 209

Tee 3: 106

Tee 4: 141

14th HOLE

Par 4 · 393 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 393

Tee 2: 428

Tee 3: 266

Tee 4: 336

15th HOLE

Par 4 · 434 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 434

Tee 2: 462

Tee 3: 374

Tee 4: 392

16th HOLE

Par 5 · 520 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 520

Tee 2: 549

Tee 3: 432

Tee 4: 511

17th HOLE

Par 3 · 150 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 150

Tee 2: 185

Tee 3: 80

Tee 4: 118

18th HOLE

Par 4 · 332 Yards

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.

Tee 1: 332

Tee 2: 374

Tee 3: 249

Tee 4: 288

"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."
