This picturesque par three has water and bunkers that guard the left side of the green. If you miss the green right you will be faced with a challenging up and down.
The first par five on the front nine. The second shot is deceivingly tight as water comes in closer than appears on the right and a strategically placed bunker on the left. A birdie is a good possibility for the good wedge player.
The first of a series of three long par fours. Avoid the coquina rock bunkers on the left with your drive. A very narrow green will require an accurate mid iron shot.
