The signature holes on this demanding course are, like Riverwood, the final three holes on the front nine. The seventh is a long straight par four with not much trouble. It is a straight forward hole but into the prevailing wind it’s a lot harder than it looks. The eighth is one of the toughest par threes in South West Florida, and, at about 240 yards is one of the longest. This requires a good hit with your longest iron or a fairway wood.

Don’t get roped into thinking you’ve hit a good shot until the ball lands however, because it is a shallow green and very hard to hold with the type of club being hit in there. The ninth is a 90 degree dog leg to the right with water on both sides of the fairway. It is crucial to pick the right club because if you are long or short you will be in the water. The second shot, however, is a lot easier with only a waste bunker that is in play. The funny thing about this hole is the local rule placed on it. There is a house on the short side of the fairway and even if the ball heads over the out of bounds stake and comes back into play that is still deemed as out of bounds to protect the house from being peppered with errand tee shots.
