SOUTH JACKSONVILLE. With water in play on every hole and a number of bunkers incorporated into the design, there is enough trouble here to challenge you. However not so much trouble that the course is not enjoyable. These fairways are on the narrow side, so accuracy off the tee is a must if you want to hit the sloped greens in regulation. With several multi-tiered putting surfaces, you can expect to see some testy putts.

This player-friendly course features open fairways with little trouble. Large landing areas allow golfers to hit a variety of shots and still find the short grass. With rolling hills throughout the design, you may encounter several awkward lies. These greens are large in size but only moderately sloped and average in speed, so get the flat stick working early, and you can make some putts here.

BAYMEADOWS. With several long par-5's, you won't normally find too many tap-in birdies here. While these fairways are relatively open, you will see a standard cut of rough on every hole. These greens are not too fast; however, the severe slopes found here can make putting quite a challenge. Water hazards and bunkers will come into play on just about every hole.

Get loosened up before you get to the first tee, as the first hole is a dogleg par-5 with a tee shot that must carry 200 yards over water and marsh to reach the fairway. Hit a couple of good shots to begin with and you can get the round off to a good start. With 17 intertwined lakes and marshes here, you can probably assume a lost ball will be inevitable. Incredibly scenic, the natural surroundings here are some of the most beautiful you will ever see.

PONTE VEDRA. Most visitors walk off this course talking about one thing ­ how they played #17, a 132-yard par-3 with an island green that is extremely difficult to hit. Arguably the most photographed hole in golf, the 17th is just one of the challenges on this championship caliber course. With mounds, deep pot bunkers and water on just about every hole, Sawgrass can strike fear in the heart of even the best golfers in the world. Be prepared for a test when you come here.
