Major Risks
Water and sand density The official course description reports 10 water hazards and more than 75 sand traps; avoid trading a safe angle for a marginal carry. Hilly lies The official site specifically highlights terrain uncommon elsewhere in Florida; uneven lies can change strike and rollout. Water-ski activity Visitor evidence identifies unusual water-ski activity near hole 2; follow on-site right-of-way and safety directions.
Blue Tee Strategy
Confirm the current tee labels; the official site publishes Back, Middle and Forward rather than a Blue label. Use the open fairways to position away from the nearest water and bunker group. Account for uneven lies on the hilly terrain before choosing a club. On long par 5s, choose a layup number that leaves a full approach to the large green. Follow on-site water-ski right-of-way and any temporary safety instructions. Blue/middle-tee hazard-control plan
