While the front nine is not too tough, four times on the back nine you have to clear huge bushes, or weeds, or whatever they call those monstrosities sitting in front of the tee boxes. If you are not a confident driver who constantly hits his drives far and most importantly high, the back nine is a back breaker. Plus, the greens are well manicured and extremely fast. Tap your putts a tad too stiff at Pelican Pointe, and not directly into the cup, your ball will wind up 10 feet or more past the hole. At Pelican Pointe, the gold tees are for Tiger Woods and his ilk.
Low handicappers play the blues, and most members play the whites.
But newcomers, don t be ashamed to play the senior blacks. They're certainly tough enough for sure. The ladies reds, however, are not so bad at all. Not once do gals driving from the ladies tees have to clear water, or those intimidating weeds. This review is given from the whites, where most sane men should play from anyway.
