The hole was designed by Roger Rulewich and sits atop a bluff along the west bank of the Intracoastal Waterway, with water running along the right side. Both the tee and green are elevated, setting up a tee shot over a reservoir leading into the Waterway through a small dam. The hole measured an impossible 244 yards before a house eliminated the back tee. The hole measures 189 yards from the blue, 158 from the white, 152 from the silver, and 122 from the red. Tees move farther left the closer you get to open up easier angles to the hole. The large, kidney-shaped green is protected on the front and front-right but a large bunker and quickly falls off to the right down an embankment to the Waterway. It has a plateau on the back right and slopes to the left front. There's a lot of bailout room to the left of the green, as well as a ball drop area. |
Panel
quotes "A hole that will take your breath away. Sitting way up on a cliff overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, this hole usually requires a long-iron carry over a deep ravine to hit the dance floor."
Megan Miller
"Beauty and the beast. A gorgeous look at the Waterway and a really challenging par-3. It's tough to judge distance with the wind always a factor and a downhill tee shot to a protected green. It's a great test of nerves."
