We want people to come off the golf course with a good taste in their mouths, not one where they have worked to score. Two of the most difficult holes are 17 and 18. For those playing the back tees, hole 17 is 245 yards, par 3, while 18 is 445 yards, par 4, and both carry over water. Three holes play on Lake Caroline's 835-acre lake and there is water around a total of 11 holes. The size of the man-made lake is another unique feature for golfers in the Jackson area, said Maxwell.
Many clubs offer small lakes, but few, if any, find golfers playing beside a huge body of water.
Designing the course took about a year because both residential course developers worked together to find a unique blend of golf course and lots. The two groups utilized the best places for lots, those on higher ground to overlook the property, and at the same time allowed plenty of room for water and greenery on the course. The golf club is set to open when the golf course opens and will feature a restaurant. Maxwell points out the Caroline Golf Club will have the maintenance and design of a nice country club but its services are strictly for golf with no swimming, tennis or weight rooms. The second club with its marina will focus more on lake activities, and according to what association members want, tennis courts, a pool and fuel dock could be added.
