Hole by hole
Walk the course
Hole 1
350
yds ·Tee 3
A dogleg right that wraps a lake, so most players deal with water twice. The elevated green has a false front and bunkers on both front sides, and it is much longer than it is wide.
Hole 2
160
yds ·Tee 3
A par 3 over water to an oddly angled green with a single bunker front right.
Hole 3
328
yds ·Tee 3
A gentle dogleg left with water down the right off the tee. The elevated green has no bunkers but is protected by mounding and a false front.
Hole 4
367
yds ·Tee 3
A dogleg right with the first view of St. Andrew's Bay. Water guards the left side of the green, which slopes back to front.
Hole 5
335
yds ·Tee 3
The signature hole and the front nine's toughest by handicap. The tee shot goes to an island fairway in the Grand Lagoon, then the approach crosses marsh to a wide, mounded peninsula green on the bay. A tee shot left of the hole 4 penalty area is out of bounds.
