Like condominium complexes, golf courses generally get their names from whatever was chopped down, plowed under or chased away to make way for the development. Butternut is sort of like that. It sits on the former farm where the strain of squash of the same name was reportedly developed. The squash is gone, but trees and water remain as the primary natural hazards, augmented by some well-placed traps, one of which snakes around both the sixth and 17th greens. Your tee shot has to carry 140 to 240 yards depending on how much risk you dare to assume.
Long hitters can drive the green, but there's no margin for error.
The flat part of the fairway is narrow and water is a threat all along the left side. It's one of just three par-5s. Both are narrow, though, so pulling out a driver is a definite risk. Butternut also has five par-3s, including the daunting fourth hole. It's only 150 yards, but the green is surrounded by water on three sides.
