No view of the bay, but the elevated tee off Hog's Back overlooks a panorama of free-falling countryside speckled with pines and hardwoods. In the fairway before you, it's 360 yards from the blues, and you must carry 220 yards over a gulch of ferns and tangles. The green looks like an upside-down saucer. Brunches there are top notch, as well. A 411-yard par 4 on a crest 1,000 feet above sea level.
