The 6,825-yard layout is a beguiling mix of wetlands, forest and wiry fescue. It's a switch hitter: The front nine is a links-style course with gentle rolling hills and emerald fairways, highlighted by the tall red fescue grasses and wetlands. The back nine is a wooded layout, framed by towering oaks, pines and boarded by pink and white dogwoods. Four sets of tees from 5,357 yards to 6,825 yards.
