The Golf Course
The golf course was designed by Martin & Martin and opened in 1959.
The course is a par 72, measuring just over 7,050 yards from the Tournament tees (furthest tees back) and around 6,600 Yards from the men's tees. At these yardages it has received a slope of 130, with an overall golf course rating of 73.6 by the United States Golf Association. The course has since been extended, and the Tournament Tees now measure around 7,150 yards, which has added even more difficulty to the already advanced course set up. The course is well known for hole number 11, which is a par 3 that plays at 190 yards over a large man-made pond with a fountain, and a green surrounded by sand dunes. It is only the third longest out of the four par 3's located on the course.
