The Silo Course features a links-style design with just a few trees. The terrain as also hillier than the original holes. The Magnolia Course is the most demanding nine, while the Willow Course is more forgiving. Water hazards are distributed equally on all three courses, and nearly every hole is well protected by sand or water in play. The greens are medium to large in size and will accommodate the high amount of play. Every green is visible from the approach shot, but you will have a variety of creative shots on this course. One of the tougher holes is #7 on the Magnolia Course. This 196-yard, par 3, requires a tee shot to an elevated green, which is protected by four sand bunkers.
