This is a Pete Dye course that was built in 1992 and he decided to introduce Thailand to Sawgrass with an island green 146 yard par 3 hole on hole #8 of the B course. The seaside winds affect many shots on this 27 hole layout and shots and clubs must be well thought out. Dye uses bunkers and water to protect all his greens and also the mounds that are ever present can send a ball off to a place that it wasn't intended. As is common with many Dye designs there are many different characteristics to his holes from rather short par 4's to the mammoth 592 yard par 5 on the A course.

Distance and length aren't the major factors here as you need to manage your game to maximize your chances and minimize your risks if you want to score well.
