Course Tour

Hole 1: CLICK HERE FOR FLYOVER

The course tees off with a moderate length par. Although the hole off the tee is bordered by water, a generous landing area for both the tee and second shots will make this a friendly opening hole. A double dogleg left, the hole provides an option of carrying water on the second shot to set up a short pitch to the green. The hole tightens up near the green with a right side bunker, adding to the risk of going for it in two.

Hole 2: CLICK HERE FOR FLYOVER

Playing from elevated tees, this hole plays straight away, finishing through a shoot of trees to a green nesting on the far side of a small preserve. The green is large and will accept all but the poorest shots. A decent tee shot is important since a long wetland carry is to be avoided on the approach.

Hole 3: CLICK HERE FOR FLYOVER

A shorter par 4 with a dogleg right, hole 3 will require position over strength. Water right and wetlands left will define the tee shot, and a peninsular green setting will finish the hole in a fitting manner.

Hole 6: CLICK HERE FOR FLYOVER

The 2nd par 5 on the out nine will take two good shots to set up the approach to a green set among specimen oaks. For better players bent upon reaching the green in 2, a fading second shot will be mandatory. Water left and wetlands right of the shot zones will punish wayward tee and second shots.

Hole 7: CLICK HERE FOR FLYOVER

Although the longest of the par 4’s on the front side, the 7th will provide room to swing from the heels off the tee in order to set up a shorter approach. Bunkering and trees along the left edge of the driving zone will encourage players to keep it right. A long accurate approach will be necessary to reach in regulation.

Hole 9: CLICK HERE FOR FLYOVER

The second of what will prove to be exceptional par 3 holes, the 9th will play very differently from the various tees, with a challenging carry of nearly 200 yards over salt marsh off the back tees, to a straight forward and gentler 150 (dry) yards from the regular tees and 100 from the forward tee. Players will no doubt stop off at the tournament tee just to enjoy the vista, which will be exceptional, just like this hole.

Hole 10: CLICK HERE FOR FLYOVER

The back nine commences with the longest par 5 on the course. The varying tee locations will give the hole different looks with the back tees starting over wetlands with the line of playing framed by trees. The hole 10 hugs a line of stately oaks all along the right edge of the fairway, and a specimen oak about two-thirds down the length of the hole will force either a towering second shot or a detour around the oak.

Hole 11: CLICK HERE FOR FLYOVER

While lacking the exceptional setting of the other par 3’s, the 11th will get its strength from its being the longest par 3, the water framing the left side and protruding just a bit into the approach. Some players might opt to play right, with a chip and a putt in mind to make par.

One of the two long par 4’s on the backside, 12 will present the players with an undulating fairway guarded left with water, bunkering and mounding. The approach will show a green nestled against the lake-side bunker, and some might elect to bail right again, relying upon short game for a chance at par.

The elevated tees here will provide a view of the hole, tee to green. Mounds will frame the right side of the hole and a backdrop of oaks will define the beginning of the left turn at the dogleg. This might be considered to be a position hole since length off the tee will not gain a player much advantage.

Hole 14:    CLICK HERE FOR FLYOVER

The shortest but not least of the par 5’s, the 14th will start a succession of “unforgettable” finishing holes that touch and border the Manatee River. The green will have one of the prettiest settings on the west coast with the blue Manatee as it backdrop. The hole will require two solid shots to carry the wetlands guarding the green, and while the green can be reached in two blows, the penalty of a miss-hit can be severe.

“All carry” is the order of the day on this par 3.   A walled, island green surrounded by wetlands on three sides and the Manatee River on the right will confront the player at the 15th tee. The hole is not overly long, but it should be memorable.

The shortest par 4 on the course certainly will not be the dullest. Players will confront a tee shot from elevated tees hitting over a tranquil bay in the river. Bunkers at the far side of the wide fairway will enable players to select a target relative to the risk one wishes to incur. A terrace green will present an interesting finish to the hole.

The tee setting on a peninsula jutting into the bay of the River will make a striking setting for ball striking off the tee. The fairway is bunkered on the left as is the green, and trees frame the entire right side of the hole. A moderately long par 4, the 17th will require two, well played shots to setup a two-putt for par.

The 18th presents the only “sharp” dogleg on the golf course with its nearly 90 degree bend to the right. A long, undulating green set on a walled peninsula with the Manatee in the background will be the memorable feature. Players will be able to watch boats negotiating the lift to and from the River as they putt on the 18th, and then enjoy a panorama from the high bridge on the trip back to the clubhouse.
