From an aesthetic point of
view, the Ocean Course has
18 signature holes. Every hole
can be a portrait on a postcard.
All 18 holes have character,
charm,
and
backbone,
especially the 440-yard par-
four 6th hole, where the green
and the fairway are separated
by a lake, which must be
negotiated on your approach.
The final three holes are three
of the best in south Florida. The
16th is a long par three to a
slightly raised green and plays
even longer into the wind. The
17th is the course’s only par
five and is a right-to-left dogleg
that demands accuracy. The
18th is a left-to-right par-four
with a lake and a greenside
bunker protecting the green.
Whether you play the Ocean
Course in January or July,
you will always benefit from
the nearby Atlantic Ocean,
which provides a steady cool,
refreshing breeze off the ocean.
A final piece of advice is to
use your brain to book a tee
time so you can take your
brawn to the Ocean Course.
But, to thrive at this tropical
delight, you’ll need more
brains than brawn to score
well on this seaside site.
