Hole 15 Par 5 525 yards Bryan Cowles The shortest par 5 on the golf course. A large mound in front of the green means the fairway has to swerve and enter sideways, which also creates a blind approach and removes the run up. As such this hole won't give away many eagles (unless the tailwind is substantial) but a good short game could result in birdies.  |

Hole 16 Par 4 445 yards Elliot Caw Sidehill lies aplenty on this par 4 playing in the opposite direction to the previous hole, so if the wind helped you on the 15th it may soon snooker you on the 16th as the combination of a sidehill lie and headwind could mean a tricky approach. However, the green doesn't have much steep break, so hitting the green in regulation sets up a good 2 putt for par, possibly birdie.  |

Hole 17 Par 3 181 yards Brandon Pugh Although the same length as the fourth, this hole can play the shortest because of its longer green. With water right and long, and bunkers left the only safe miss is short, which would set up a steep downhill chip on the multi-storey green which slopes towards the back. This hole can ruin a good scorecard especially in windy conditions.  |

Hole 18 Par 4 393 yards Scott Doyley The tee shot plays across the pond to the left of the first fairway and can only be carried if the wind allows it, otherwise the tee shot plays to a strip short and right which means that a headwind will double the length of the approach shot vs a tailwind. There are a few steep slopes on the large green, but there is a chance to finish with some glory.  |

 12 now my lucky number. Just played this in 20+ mph winds, what a fun ride that was. Course played great in that wind. Designer had ample bailouts. I birdied my hole, easily the hardest hole on the course in that wind for sure. Great work, I think I have played almost all of this designer courses, this one is by far the best designed yet. The holes were interesting, nice to look at, well planted and greens were great and fair. Only complaint, and this has nothing to do with playability, is the bunkers could use some sculpting love. However that is the only thing separating this course from being right up there with some of the better courses in the game. This designer is improving leaps and bounds with every release. Rated it an 8, and will definitely return when the hurricane passes.
