With 12 holes playing along the shore of Lake Saugahatchee, Grand National's The Lakes Course is every bit as scenic as the Links. Not only is the quartet of par threes on the Lakes Course as good as any in the nation, but the island green 15th - the course signature hole, may be the single prettiest hole on the Trail. It stretches to 230 yards from the back tees and requires a shot to a two-tiered island green partially shaded by two hardwood trees for added beauty and challenge.
One of the favorite holes is the par-4, dogleg-right 16th (250 to 334 yards), where players can reach the green from the tee, but the water and a large bunker await errant shots. The smart play is long iron from the tee past the trees on the right side, leaving a short iron over a the marsh guarding the front of the green.
