Eagles Eye Golf Club is part of Hawk Hollow, which has 45 holes of golf and was designed by Chris Lutzke in collaboration with Pete Dye. When you step onto the 17th you will see why, it’s an exact replica of the 17th at Sawgrass right down to the slopes on the green. But don’t think this is a one trick pony, it’s a stunning track right from the off. Dunes frame the holes and you really do feel you are the only ones out on the course and we teed off on a Sunday
An exact replica of the 17th at Sawgrass
morning!!
The 453 yard Par4 Opening hole
Stand out holes for me were the 453 yard 1st, it’s a great opening hole dogleg right, make sure you know the position of the flag as the green is over 50 yards deep, so you could be hitting anything from a 7 iron to a 3 iron into the green. I could start naming every hole on the course, but it’s a track you will love playing.
All the par 3s are well designed and astatically pleasing from the tee, but the finishing holes to each nine deserve a special mention, both are par 5s the 9th is 598 yards, the 18th is 589 yards and run each side of a central lake.
On the 9th the water is on the left and on the 18th the water is on the right, the water is close to both greens, but especially so on the 9th, unless you are bubba long, I would play them both as 3 shoters, you’re better off hitting the greens with a wedge than a 3 wood, but hey where is the fun in that?!
Danger at the risk and reward 18th at Eagle Eye
If you walk off having played to your handicap you deserve that nice cold one that awaits you in the well placed clubhouse, you can just sit back and watch the rest of your friends coming down the 18th . Enjoy.
