This is a straight par 4 that plays in a northerly direction. There are
fairway bunkers on both the right and left side of the landing area. The
green is protected on both sides by prominent sand bunkers. This is a very
good beginning hole on which players will enjoy warming up.
The second hole
is a slight dogleg left par 4. The left side of the landing area is protected
by two bunkers. The green is angled from left to right with bunkers on
the left and right side, making the approach shot from the right side of
the fairway (away from the fairway bunkers) the more difficult shot. 
This par 4 hole plays in a westerly direction and is heavily bunkered in
the fairway, requiring a premium on accuracy for the drive. The positioning
of the fairway bunkers forces the golfer to choose several different alternatives,
depending on wind conditions. The golfer may decide to challenge the bunkers
in an attempt to leave a very short and easy approach to the green. In
other instances, the golfer may play short of the hazards, leaving a longer
approach. 
This is the longest hole on the course, a three shot par 5 that plays in
a northerly direction. An interesting strategic element of the hole are
the fairway cross bunkers between the first and second landing areas. These
three bunkers are angled from right to left and fall approximately at the
420 yard mark. Golfers will be forced to make a decision on whether or
not to carry these bunkers, based upon the location of their drive and
the wind conditions. Obviously, the approach shot to the green is much
different, depending on which side of the cross bunkers the second shot
lands. 
The first par 3 on the course features a lake that runs along the entire
left side of the hole. The green sits directly next to the water with two
bunkers protecting the right side. For those golfers unfortunate enough
to land in one of the bunkers, they will face a bunker shot to a green
sloping down toward the water. This should be one of the most exciting
holes on the course. 
The sixth hole changes direction, playing in the southerly direction. Measuring
470 yards, this par 4 should test even the longest of hitters. Although
the landing area is protected by bunkers on both sides, the fairway is
very wide and receptive. Additionally, the green is designed with a long
iron or fairway wood approach shot in mind. 
This is a straight par 4. The fairway bunkers are positioned so a golfer
can challenge the left one for an easier approach to the green, or play
safe to the right side of the fairway, leaving a more difficult approach.
The green angles from left to right and is guarded by bunkers, both front
and back. 
The eighth hole is a 207 yard par 3 with bunkers on both the right and
left side of the green. 
The front side finishes with this par 5, a dogleg to the right with bunkering
that frames and directs the golfer on where and how to play. Both landing
areas are heavily bunkered, as is the green. A small bunker guards the
front of the green, requiring the golfer to carry it in order to get to
most of the pin positions on the green. 
No. 10 is another dogleg, bending to the left. The landing area has two
bunkers, one on each side. The closer one plays to the left side of the
fairway, the better the approach is to the green. The green itself is angled
from left to right with bunkers on both sides.
The shortest hole on the golf course, this par 3 is designed with a green
totally surrounded by sand. This should be a fun hole for golfers of all
skill levels
No. 12 is a long dogleg to the right that plays in a northerly direction
and will be a stern test. The landing area has three bunkers on the right
side, and trees guard the left rough. 
This hole presents several alternatives on how to play it. The golfer must
decide whether to play left, right or short of the large bunker in the
middle of the fairway. The left side of the fairway requires the most demanding
drive, but also offers the easiest approach to the green. The smallish
green is heavily protected by bunkers and is angled from left to right.
This undoubtedly will be a hole where birdies will be made, but only after
good decision making a sound execution. 
No. 14 turns back to the south. The fairway bunkering encourages the golfer
to decide whether to try to carry the bunker with his drive or play safely
to the right. Depending on the wind, this decision may change from day
to day. The green is long and narrow and is bunkered on both sides. Any
ball resting in the native grasses should be played as a waste area or
can be dropped with penalty stroke according to Rule 28-Ball unplayable. 
The final par 3 is the longest on the golf course. The green also is the
largest one on the course, protected by a bunker on the right and small
depressions on the left. The entire front of the green is open so that
shots can roll on, rather than having to carry on. 
The final par 5 also is the shortest, and it doglegs slightly to the left.
The first landing area is bunkered left and right, with the right hand
bunker positioned so that a drive that carries it is positioned for a better
second shot. The critical decision will be whether to go for the green
with the second shot or lay up. In either case, the golfer must be aware
of water that comes into play along the right side of the second landing
area and at the green. In addition to the water, there are three bunkers
that protect the left side of the green. This hole should be the beginning
of a great finish. 
No. 17 doglegs to the right, with bunkering on both sides of the fairway.
It plays to a slightly elevated green which has bunkers on both the right
and left side. This hole plays back to the north after three straight southerly
holes. 
The final hole at Heron Bay features water down the entire right side.
This hole will require a well placed drive to avoid the bunkers on the
left and the water on the right. In addition, the approach shot must negotiate
sand and water if the golfer is to make a par on this hole. This will be
an outstanding finishing hole for both tournament and everyday play.  |
