Country Club of Landfall (Dye)

There are relatively few penal water hazards, but it seems as if Dye may be revving up to one of his signature water-laden finales as players roll into nos. 15 and 16, which both feature ponds along the green sites. The course maintains the “land” in “Landfall” during the last few holes, however. No. 18 is a classic Dye risk-reward, but with a different flavor of challenge than many of his championship routes.

A short par five, many players will be able to reach the green in two. The elevated nature of this green, however, will provide the challenge. Those off to the right will fall into a deep greenside bunker, which will provide a much tougher third shot than for those who have laid up to the front fairway. A tight score coming into this final hole will be just as exciting for the amateur competitors at this club as it is for the professionals at Dye’s stiffer courses.
