The 530 yard par 5 12th is a real teaser. Just a little extra off the tee will leave you with a very reachable 2nd shot to the dance floor. This one is very hard to pass up. If you play it a little to the right side of the landing area you will have a flatter surface to work with as the left side of the fairway feeds the bunker. You have a smaller bunker on the right side as well but it seems to avoid play. If you go for it and most will, there is a pond to clear and a huge bunker to the left you want to avoid. On the other hand a layup shot down the fairway will leave a short lob to the green. This is a hit or miss hole that can effect your round.Image

Looking good Steve. I love the way you gel the course in with the background. Where do you find such great backgrounds?

That second shot to the green looks enticing!

Cheers

Thanks Brad. This particular background I just pieced together using different photos. It took me over a month to complete using different programs.

Amen to that. Your backgrounds are typically a highlight.

The key to hole #13 is to avoid the water on either side of the landing area off the tee. At 426 yards this par 4 will leave just a short iron to the green with a successful drive. The water on the right extends all the way down past the green while an intimidating bunker protects the left side. The undulating dance floor makes long putts difficut but two good shots will score!Image
