Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
A drive toward the right center of the fairway favors finding the garden on your first swing of the day! Aim at the middle of the large green that slopes off hard to the left and right. Pay good attention to the pin position, the shot into the green can fluctuate 25 yards depending on where the pin is!
Origin of Hole Name
The early Spaniard explorers called the extensive wet grass prairies they encountered "Savannahs" after the grasslands of Africa. A remnant of those "Savannahs" can still be found along the right side of Hole 1.

Driver isn't always the play here on the short Par 4 for the fairway narrows as it gets closer to the green. Favor the left center of the fairway with a 3 wood or hybrid to avoid the bunker on the right and think about a yardage that you are comfortable with into the two-tiered green.
Origin of Hole Name
A long carry over water and a formidable sand bunker give this hole its name.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
A beautiful Par 5 that demands a good drive up the right center of the fairway. The water hazard creeps in quick down the left side but also is a shorter path to the green which provides a classic risk-reward hole carved through gorgeous oaks!
Origin of Hole Name
Hole 3 plays through a native oak hammock of large live oaks.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
Aim for the middle of the green that slopes hard right to left and back to front! Keeping the ball below the hole here is important for a good score. The choice of the high and low tee box calls for a Par 3 with a different feel every time you play it.
Origin of Hole Name
This hole offers a choice of two tees. A low, shorter shot across the lake, or a longer shot offering bailout opportunities.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
The Pine Valley demands a nice drive that should favor the right center of the fairway between the bunkers down the left and right side. The second shot into the elevated green with a long-mid iron has to carry a punishing bunker to a narrow landing area. Over the green can be very punishing with only a few yards to spare before the hazard. Par is an excellent score on the hardest hole on the Golf Course!
Origin of Hole Name
Named after the famous course that plays through a similar environment of sand pines and oak scrub.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
An intimidating tee shot over the scrub jay habitat calls for a long carry favoring the right center of the fairway. This hole dog-legs left down a hill for a beautiful scene of elevation change carved around the sand dune. Do not go over this green and remember that the shot will play shorter with the elevation change!
Origin of Hole Name
The endangered birds that are denizens of this rare dune scrub habitat give this hole its name.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
Favor the left center of the fairway on this short scenic Par 4 to avoid the slope into the water on the right. Make sure you take enough club into the green, any shot short will hit the false front and roll into the water!
Origin of Hole Name
A long lake with a sentinel oak overlooking the fairway.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
A breathtaking Par 3 over the water calls for a shot to the middle of the green that will slope right to left. Make sure your ball carries to the green, any shot short will gather in the bunkers that guard the green!
Origin of Hole Name
The arched cart bridge over the lake guarding the green names this hole.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
A classic risk-reward Par 5 that tempts the long hitter to carry the wetlands to hit the green in two! Favor the left side of the fairway and stay away from the environmental hazard on the right side. Playing safe up the left side with a 3 shot hole in mind calls for a short wedge into the green with a large landing area. Stay below the hole on this hard sloping green from back to front!
Origin of Hole Name
With the wind at your back you may be tempted to try the green in two shots.

This long, straight Par 4 requires length and accuracy off the tee. As play begins on the back nine, the golfer’s vision takes on a Carolinas look. A fairway bunker on the left side of the fairway sits about 50 yards from the putting green. There is room long if your second shot is missed. Plenty of room here to work the ball with a fade or a draw. Four is a great score.
Origin of Hole Name
Though it looks as if it were nestled against the front of the green, the fairway bunker that defines this hole is 60 yards in front of your target.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
This long winding dog-leg right Par 5 is my favorite hole on the Golf Course. The drive must be in the fairway just to the right of the fairway bunkers. Be careful as a creek runs through the fairway about 200 yards from the green. Depending on where your tee shot lands, players may have to lay up before the creek. After the creek, water runs along the right side all way to the green. Best to layup on your second shot and leave yourself a third shot into the green sloping towards the water.
Origin of Hole Name
This hole requires 3 good shots. Get impatient and you may find yourself in trouble.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
This Par 3 plays longer than it looks as it requires a carry over the waste bunker. Try not to be above the hole, the green runs off the front. Two putts and move on.
Origin of Hole Name
A long sand trap, towering pines and whispering wind may make you think you are in a different state.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
This straight away Par 4 called Beach, gets it’s name as the front of the green has a “beach bunker”. Depending on tee selection, ability of the player and wind, driver may not be the play off the tee. Water left and out of bounds guard the right side.
Origin of Hole Name
The green is guarded by a large sand bunker leading right into the water.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
The straight and short Par 4 is a beauty. Aim at the Clubhouse with driver and you will have a very short iron into the green. Depending on pin location, make sure you land on the right level of the green with your second shot. The putting green is divided with a ridge.
Origin of Hole Name
This short Par 4 is named after the rare birds often seen here as well as the score for which many aspire.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
Time to bomb driver! Avoid the left side from the tee shot all the way to the green as the water is in play. The long hitters can reach in two. For those who wish to layup, aim a little right and make sure you get past the trees as the fairway extends out. Wedge up the green for your birdie putt!
Origin of Hole Name
Water down the left and trees along the right require a careful approach to this hole.
-
Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
Another great Par 3. An arena of trees guard this large putting surface. Avoid the bunker on the left side. The green is some 40 paces deep. Depending on pin location, make sure you have plenty of club.
Origin of Hole Name
The tee shot to this Par 3 is defined by a narrow opening between trees.
-
Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
Shape your tee shot for a slight draw. This long Par 4 is certainly no sleeper. The green is deep with bunkers on the right side. Thread the needle on your second shot to get on the putting surface. Another deep and difficult green.
Origin of Hole Name
Though it doesn't seem difficult from the tee, this Par 4 is much tougher than it looks.

Head Golf Professional, Ian Killen's Tip
A finishing hole of true beauty! Two great shots to finish off the round. The lake runs down the entire left side all the way up to the rocks by the putting green. Need a good drive and another shot into the green which faces east and usually plays into the wind. Bail out is right with room deep. What a tremendous finishing hole!
Origin of Hole Name
Named after the green perched above a native stone outcropping, or the libation awaiting you at the Clubhouse.
