Eagle's Pointe Golf Club

Eagle's Pointe Golf Club, designed by Davis Adore III, has a fun-house flavor to it. There isn't a flat surface to be found, on fairway or green. That is very a feat, given the course can be at sea level and elevation changes may creep into double digits. May.

 

A large bunker hogging up the approach to par 3s is normally a typical sight at Eagle's Pointe The game of golf Club.? ? The golf game course's personality can be clear on the first hole, a par 4 that veers proper. Make an attempt to ignore the pond dug out right in front of you, its earth piled up past it, forming a ridge fronting a drop-off beyond it. Closer to the green, the slope tilts left, and also the earth is normally scooped out of a deep bunker next to the green. Beyond that, there's a pond. A raised bunker is usually on the great.

 

The greens are not flat either. They're sloped, tiered, undulated or all of the above. Most are guarded by large ol' bunkers, either pinching a tiny run up the middle or plunked top in front, giving you options of up and over or around.

 

The par 3s and par 4s stand out on the course, leaving the straight par 5s to serve as adrenalin releases.

 

"There are two issues we preach about here, course conditions and service," said Brent Carlson, general manager and head expert at Eagle's Pointe Golf game Club.

Seven is certainly among the course's much more interesting holes, a par fourth having a stream cutting across in front of the green. The green itself is plunked atop a mound having a shot-stealing wall in front and lots of trouble proper.

 

You'll remember the ninth hole as of "The Tree," a mammoth live oak dominating the proper side of the fairway. There's plenty of room left, but how can you concentrate with that tree breathing down your neck like that, just waiting to grab your tee shot or block out your second shot? The approach to the green is usually pinched again, this time with the added risk of a sharp drop-off to a bunker on the left, with but an additional tree within the middle of it.

 

The final three holes are all par 4s, nevertheless every having a twist. On No. 16, remember 1 thing -- don't go best or your golf ball would go bounding off the side of steep mounds and launch itself into the fairway woods. The 17th hole has a little roller coaster down to the green, with water left and a large bunker perfect. It is a big green, so don't be scared.

 

On No. 18, it appears Love had some bunkers and bulldozer time left over, so he packed the hole with bunkers, swales and mounds. At the tiered, sloped and undulating green, there is usually one much more fun-house ride for your putt.
