The Challenge is Coming!

The 12-hole par 3 Challenge Course is scheduled to open August 29, 2008! Course Information, Green Fees and Scorecard are available at golfslo.com.



The 12 holes on The Challenge course range in length from 60 yards to 240 yards. Players will get to hit a wide variety of clubs when they tee it up in The Challenge. Each hole has the tees arranged to vary the angle of attack. Players teeing off from the back tees will face the most difficult shot, while those playing from the front tees will have a far easier line to the green. Each hole has at least 5000 square feet of tee space with three sets of tee markers giving players plenty of choice.

The greens may be the most memorable features on the golf course. These very large, undulating greens are rarely found on modern courses. Players will encounter ridges and swales running through the green that may change 3-4 feet in elevation. To accommodate this type of movement, the greens are about 8000 square feet (or about 30% larger than normal greens). This vast movement in the greens let the designers create some areas on the green that are quite challenging when approached from the back tees. Players will have to think hard about how they want to attack the hole.

The links style golf course has a natural, rugged appearance, which is enhanced by the dunes that were shaped throughout the fairways and around the greens. The golf course was completely constructed by shaping the native sand into the desired features. There are five lakes which come into play. The residential development uses these golf course lakes to handle 100% of the project's storm water. The golf course uses the same turf grass as found on The Old Course. The fairways and roughs are planted in a blend of fine fescues. The greens have been seeded in velvet bentgrass.
