Large bunkers also stand to the right and left of the triangular green. A hill and palm trees from a backstop behind the green of this par 4.	Hole 2 Hole number two is a par-5 dogleg tight eith a deep bunker and the lake impinging on the green from the right.

The most likely landing area for tee shots has a cluster of bunkers to its right an a lake on the left. More water off to the left down the fairway provides futher distanation. This hole requires an almost perfect shot off the tee, an almost perfect fairway wood and an almost perfect approach iron to the green.	Hole 6 As you stand on the teebox of the sixth hole, a par four, and look for the green what you see is the lake and trees and a waterfall. The scenic beauty alone is enough to distract you from your purpose. The hole is a sharp dog;eg right with water all along the right and is heavily bunkered around the green.
Hole 7 The seventh hole, a short par 4, features water along the right side of the fairway from tee to green. Treess are on the left , but the wide fairway is all downhill and it is and enjoyable hole if you can stay out of the bunkers that guard the left, right and front of the green.

Housing along the right may prove a distraction. the green is very large and challenging and has two bunkers at the front.
Hole 10 The dogleg par 4 tenth hole plays downhill from an elevated tee box that has the look and feeel of a gunnery position. The target is tright of the fairway bunker. If you go too far right, though, on this difficult fairway you may find yourself with a very hard shot into the green. The green has contours that are as beautiful as they are dangerous.	Hole 11 The eleventh, is another dogleg roght. It is the longest par 4 on the course at 450 yards, Play to the left of the fairway to avoid the two bunkers on the right.

Hole 14 The fourteenth is a short par five and the first dogleg left on the course. Long hitters go for the eagle, Shorter hittlers can still get a birdie.	Hole 15 Hole number fifteen is a sharp dogleg right with mounds al along its right side. Some distance can be cut if you can carry thses mounds onto the fairway. If you drive it to the left then a very long anad chancy water carry down the length of a stream us your lot. The approach shot is a stream carry to a dangerously bunkered green. "Do not miss the green"
Hole 16 THe sixteenth hole is a straight forward long par 3 with a large bunkers on the rigth front and side of the green and another one on the left back. The demand here is placed on putting onece you are on this severely countoured green. Take a moment to appreciate a true work of art in the golf course architecture.	Hole 17 The seventeenth is short and straight but all uphill. The emphasis should be on accuracy in approaching the green as there are lots of bunkers all around it and it is a relatively small putting surface.	Hole 18 The eigtheenth is a par 5 dogleg left that points back to the clubhouse and is one of the toughest challenges on the course. Featured here is an extremely challenging narrow fairway with mounds and and Crystal Lake all along its right from the back of the first fairway bunker.
