407-yard, par-4. The meandering wetland down the left side is a warning that there is trouble ahead. Crush a drive to the wide-open landing area and you are left with a short to medium iron into this green which is precariously perched across the far bank of the creek. Cross the beautiful stone bridge, take your par if you’re lucky and move on.

From the elevated tee of this 223-yard, par-3, the player is confronted with a large bunker guarding the left of the green. A back left pin position is not an easy shot as it requires a draw or a full carry fade. Play to front right of the green despite the flag position and make your par.

The first short par-4 at a mere 370 yards! Hit your tee ball over the large left fairway cross bunker for the optimum angle into this very small green. Bail out right and the player must contend with a difficult shot over the far right greenside bunker that if you carry sends the ball bounding forward. Favor the left side of this green.

181-yard, par-3 over water. Don’t get fooled by the false front on the left portion of the green. The surrounding trees do well to disguise the eastern wind. Take note of the water and if you are into it club up and stay committed. Walk away with three and you have done well.

Nice looking relatively short par-5 at 538 yards in length from the tournament tee. Hit it straight to avoid the fairway bunkers. The approach shot should be placed at 110 – 130 out as the fairway is narrowest at 100 yards out. The smallish green is literally surrounded by bunkers. Three good shots will provide a chance to make a birdie.

The tee shot plays slightly uphill to an elevated landing area on this 556-yard, par-5. A long tee shot close to the dogleg bunker is the ideal line. The strategically positioned green lies next to a lake in which everything from the left side of the green feeds towards. The safest play would be a lay-up shot from roughly 130 yards which takes the lake and fairway bunker out of play.

The elevated tee provides the player with a spectacular view of the landscape beyond on this beast of a 444-yard, par-4. Hug the left fairway bunker for the speed slot and leave yourself an open iron shot into the green. The green severely slopes left to right. A long miss or short right miss provide the easier chances at par than missing left or in the greenside bunkers.

529-yard, par-5. The deceptively and strategically positioned bunkers provide a hazardous, but navigable route to an elevated green framed beautifully amongst a cathedral of sabal palms and oaks. The large bunker near the green appears to be greenside. You be the judge. Approaching the green from the left side of the fairway gives you the best chance to hold this narrow green.

The journey along the creek begins when you reach the green on this 440-yard, par-4. From the elevated tees the player sees the entire hole, its hazards and the green. The most direct, but also the most dangerous route is to play over the angled cross bunkers down the right-hand side. The approach to the green is best served with an extra club as a short miss into a headwind or short from the left bunker is extremely more difficult than the alternative which is pitching back up the hill from the rear of the green.

204-yard, par-3. A diamond in the rough. Don’t be distracted by the eagle nest in the pines over the Everglades. Pick your club wisely on this deceptively designed one-shotter. Par is a good start for the back nine and long is better than short.

A true risk/reward tee shot is required on this 422-yard, par-4 hole. Hug your tee shot near the creek for a short iron to this medium sized green. Play safely left off the tee and you are facing a relatively long second shot over the left greenside bunker. Long and right give you a higher probability to make par than the alternative. Play for center of the green on this hole versus attacking a back left flagstick.

Another gem of a par-3 at only 170 yards from the tips. Great opportunity for par or birdie if you hit the heavily bunkered green.  Arthur Hills in the field added another 4 feet of height to this green, and it really became a classic, great golf hole.

389-yard, par-4. No bunkers off the tee! Let the shaft out! Hit it long and straight and you are left with a short iron into the green, which just happens to be perched alongside another watery grave on the left.

A wide landing area off the tee is provided on this medium length 423-yard, par-4. Challenge the strategically angled waste bunker down the right side for an open look into the green. Long is preferable place to play from vs. short or left.

A beautiful 432-yard, par-4. Plenty of space between the bunkers to drive your tee shot. The lone Royal Palm past the green provides a great target. Avoid the left greenside bunker to have a chance for a birdie.

Long! A true three shot par-5 at 569 yards. Stripe two in a row and you are left with a devilish third shot over water to a small undulating green. A front flag stick is a no go unless you have the perfect yardage. Back of the green or slightly over is a manageable place get up and down.

481-yard, par-4 from the tournament tee. No piece of cake to take the two cross bunkers out of play. The approach with a long iron will tend to end up over the green which is beneficial as the green slopes front to back.
