Special Features
This hillside course features flat areas separated by large cypress and pine trees. There are nine smaller and larger ponds to provide even more variety. The distance between holes is relatively short for a design that lady golfers will love. Because there isn’t that much distance between the middle holes, it might seem like an easy course, but the green is guarded with double bunkers, so careful playing is a must on most holes!
