This challenging 152-yard par three is guarded by water along the left side as well as a deep bunker just to the left of the green. A typical Sanibel breeze can cause havoc unless judged correctly.
The fourth hole is a 377-yard par four with wetlands running along the entire length of the left side as well as out of bounds along the right. The green is protected by water to the right and bunkers on both sides.
Wetlands protect the entire left side from tee to green on the 395-yard par four fifth hole. Two greenside bunkers and water to the right of the green require a precisely placed approach shot.
The scenic par three measures only 148 yards, but don’t let the short distance fool you. The green is narrow and surrounded by wetlands and a hidden bunker on the right side. Short, but not easy.
The seventh hole is a 362-yard par four. While there is ample room in the fairway at 125 yards from the green, it narrows quickly as you near the lake guarding the green. A properly placed tee shot is a must.
While there is plenty of room in the fairway, the view from the back tees on this 395-yard par four can be quite intimidating. Once safely in the fairway, you’ll be faced with a shot to a small green guarded by water on the right and a bunker to the left.
The ninth hole is a hard dogleg to the right par five measuring 522 yards. The tee shot is critical as a lake runs along the right side. You’ll also have to navigate around two fairway bunkers as you approach the narrow green.
Don’t let its length deceive you. While the green might be reachable for some on this 285-yard par four, be careful. A grouping of trees fifty yards short of the green makes the tee shot tricky, and the green is protected by two strategically placed bunkers.
Short in length at 325 yards, this par four can still be a tough par. Decide how much to bite off the dogleg right over water and steer clear of the large tree at the corner. A small fairway bunker sits on the left, with bunkers on both sides of the green.
The twelfth hole is one of your better chances to make birdie. The 338-yard par four is straight away with a short approach to a green guarded by two bunkers.
There is not much room for error on this 155-yard par three. The bunker front left wraps around the entire side, and anything left may go out of bounds. The right side is protected by a pot bunker.
The fourteenth hole is a slight dogleg left par four measuring 329 yards. Avoid the waste area on the left and pot bunkers on the right to set up a good approach. The long, narrow green is guarded by three bunkers.
The fifteenth hole is the longest par four on the course at 433 yards. The Sanibel River runs along the entire right side. Avoid the fairway bunker 200 yards off the tee. The green is protected by two bunkers.
The 165-yard par three sixteenth is beautifully designed. A bunker front left and a hidden bunker back left make for a challenging tee shot.
The seventeenth is a slight dogleg left par four measuring 370 yards. Water is in play in front of the tee and along the right side. Fairway bunkers add to the challenge, but a good tee shot leaves a clear approach.
