Most fairways are tree-lined, but fair, measuring 48 yards wide. The greens average 12,000 square feet with a double green at holes 13 and 15, measuring 45,000 square feet. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are bent grass. Rough is blue grass. 16th hole is a prime example of Sea Oaks' challenge and fairness.
Safe placement is two shots down the right side and a clear chip to the flag.
It's an uphill play, where the tee shot should be played to the right side of the fairway to avoid bunkers to the left. Fred Stryker had the vision. He was so committed to detail, a great depth for detail, which is unlike a lot of owners I've worked for. Sea Oaks plays to 10 par 4s, four par 5s and four par 3s. Two of the par 3s are most challenging.
