With plenty of sand and water hazards, Clipper may be the most difficult of the nines. Designed by George Cobb and built in 1970, Clipper requires a good long game and a soft touch around the greens.

Galleon, the original nine holes, meanders through large oak and tall pines. Accurate placement of approach shots into heavily guarded greens is necessary on this nine.

    Played 12-23-21... loved the course layout and greens were very nice and fast. Bunkers were in great shape, but the rest of the course needs a lot of attention from tee to green. Hardly any grass in the fairways and tee boxes had what a appeared to be a lot of crabgrass. Pace of play was the absolute worst and it wasn't that busy at all. I blame the course for not enforcing pace of play, but the foursome in front of us should have at least been aware of golf rules even though they do not know how to play the game. I applaud the group for attempting to play the game, but still you'd need to be respectful of those that do play regularly. Just like any other sport.
