From The Fairway Golfers familiar with the former South Course immediately notice significantly increased grading and contoured fairways that “really flow” says course architect Rees Jones. A clean, uncluttered landscaping scheme offers open vistas and compliments the beauty of the natural terrain. Previously the 18th hole, this long par-4 has one of the bigger greens and a large open entrance. There’s a bailout

From The Tee
From The Fairway Starting off on the par-4 former 3rd hole, notice that the new tee complex can be repurposed to use on No. 17. Further changes are found in the elevated landing area, the green which was shifted left, and a new bunker also added left. Here, the bailout right of the green is planted in the rough, with Celebration Bermuda grass. Most bailouts on the course, along with the collars and fairways are Z

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This striking par-4 hole has another open entrance to the green, which is flush to the fairway, one of the elements allowing golfers to play their ground game as well as their air game. Throughout the new course, golfers now enjoy greens with much more variation in shape and size. These are longer, more angled greens and are planted with A-1 Bentgrass, known for tolerance of extreme weather, exc
On The Green This striking par-4 hole has another open entrance to the green, which is flush to the fairway, one of the elements allowing golfers to play their ground game as well as their air game. The tee was shifted right, allowing improved visibility to the green. A grass pocket right of the green keeps golfers a little closer to the action, and bunkers left are also new. ~ Championship Yardage 453

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee it’s after the tee shot that the hole gets really interesting, posing increased challenges for managing your game.
From The Fairway The old No. 5 is a reasonably long par-5 and offers a variety of shot options. According to Rees Jones, it’s after the tee shot that the hole gets really interesting, posing increased challenges for managing your game. The element of water comes in for the first time, so golfers not inclined to flirt with the bunkers left will favor the right side of the fairway and then contend with the water.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This strong par-3 has bunkers right, between the green and the water, and a bailout left. Hitting into the wind, which will frequently be the case with this hole, means golfers may wish to hit left, knowing the fairway there tilts toward the green. Hit the proper spot, and feed your ball onto the green. Miss your shot and still have the option to bounce it in. What golfers won’t see here - and eve
On The Green Hit the proper spot, and feed your ball onto the green. Miss your shot and still have the option to bounce it in. What golfers won’t see here - and everywhere grass meets water without a wall in place - is the sophisticated erosion control product buried under the turf.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A long par-4, No. 6 also works as a drivable par-4 when the forward tee is put into use. The newly elevated green also has a lake added to the right, and an accommodating open entrance with plenty of shot options to get there. In this case, golfers may wish to cut the corner, and then contend with the fairway bunker right, but also potentially get closer to the green than by choosing to play the d

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee At first this may seem like the old seventh hole, but subtle differences here count for a lot. Strategically positioned pockets and bunkers mandate a strong aerial approach on this par-3 hole. The hardest position to chip from is immediately in front of the green. During construction, subsurface plating was added in front of all the greens by layering recycled greens mix underneath the turf. This

From The Fairway Fairway bunkers left save you from out of bounds and the wooded, downhill sloping rough. Grass pockets throughout are saving pockets, while the area right of the green kicks the ball back, and the pockets contain balls straying even further right.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee For Rees, the beauty and aesthetics of the South Course, including bunker style, water features, and the Piedmont terrain, make it fun to play even on an off day. Here the big hitters may want to cross the bunkers right, and shorter hitters will more likely play left and may ultimately have a better angle in.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee No. 10 is a downhill medium length par-4 and for Rees Jones the bunkers bracketed on both sides are a nod to notable mid-20th century course design, including that of his late father, RO-Bert Trent Jones, Senior. The square tees are another neoclassic design element found on the course. Hit it down the middle to reach the green in two. Play right for more of an open entrance and avoid the long b

From The Fairway
On The Green The shortest par-4 on the golf course changed dramatically during construction and offers unusual features to thwart the big hitters. While it’s tempting to try to cut the corner, bunkers not visible from the tee wait in the landing area right. The green is shallow overall, but very deep in the center, and the two wings are hard to access, giving the golfer plenty to consider based on the spot t

Hole 12

From The Tee The only uphill par-3 on the South Course also features the deepest bunker on the course, right of the sizeable green. While the old course bunkers were generally round with mounding, these new bunkers are shaped to more naturally integrate with the lay of the land. They involve much more movement around the edges with the addition of many grass fingers, creating sharp definition between sand and

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Another one of the most markedly changed holes, the renovated 13 is the longest par-4 on the course. It features significant elevation changes along with slopes and bunkers which penalize a shot to the degree that it’s missed.
From The Fairway The long fairway bunker left typically feeds the ball toward the center. Since that allows you to go for the open entrance green, it’s more what Rees Jones will term a saving bunker, or a half-shot penalty.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The noticeable elevation change on this beautiful par-4 hole comes primarily from dropping the fairway ten to twelve feet. During construction of the new South Course over 200,000 cubic yards of soil was moved, and a total of 478 semi truckloads of sod were put down over the 157 acres grassed, up from 143 on the old course. On the serene No. 14, golfers that carry the cross bunker to the left of

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee The second shot on 15 is arguably the hardest shot on the course, requiring the golfer to carry over water. This hole demands precision and a long drive to reach the widened and recontoured landing area, which then allows for a short iron across the water.

Hole 17

From The Tee This beautiful par-3 rewards golfers for hitting their target, as bunkers to the right and water left require accuracy. Green contours then mandate nuance on the narrow, long green directly beside the pond’s wall. There’s room to recover, however, thanks to the turf behind the green. Over 2500 individually controlled sprinklers allow for targeted, optimal care of the entire grassing scheme. Durin

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee This longest par-5 on the South Course favors long hitters for the first two shots, as golfers hit uphill off the tee. Significant elevation was added here, which Rees Jones considers the ideal way to build a par-5, since hitting into a hill is really the only way to ensure a three-shot hole.
