Osprey Point Golf Course Part 2

Here are the details of the back nine hole-by-hole review of Osprey Point Golf Course.  Hole 10 – This hole now plays in the opposite direction of hole one due to the wind now prevailing downward.  You need that wind-assist to make it to the regulation.  There are bunkers that guard the left side of the fairway and there are bunkers that guard the right side of the green.  Hole 11 – Players need to force carry over water to the green.  They need to be careful of the bunker that guards the left front of the green.  Hole 12 – This hole was lengthened to have more hole play for players.  It also made it more difficult to make the green in two.  There are bunkers that guard the left of the green and there is one on the right side of the green as well.  Hole 13 – The fairway was reshaped and the hole was lengthened in 1997.  This made so players would have to play well to get a good score.  But you need to be careful how far you hit it to the right or the left.  There is a bunker that is almost the entire length of the right side of the hole.  And there is a bunker that guards the left side.  Hole 14 – The green was moved back in 1997 to make it more difficult to hit in regulation.  There is a difficult choice for players to either hit their tee shot over the bunker or lay up with a long iron or fairway wood.  There are bunkers that guard the green and be careful of the water that is behind the green.  Hole 15 – The green was enlarged to make it a little bit easier for players.  There is a bunker that runs from tee to green so be careful how you tee off.  Hole 16 – This is tough hole for players due to the tees and green being moved back.  Therefore, two large oaks come into play near the green.  There is also a deep greenside bunker that guards the right side.  Hole 17 – This hole plays into the prevailing wind, which makes it one of the strong finishing holes.  Canvasback Pond runs the length of the left side of the hole.  This makes it demanding for the tee shot.  There are two deep bunkers that protect the right side of the green.  Hole 18 – This is a high risk/reward par-5 that is an impressive, beautiful and tough finishing hole.  Canvasback Pond guards the entire left side of the hole, especially near the green.  Some players feel adventurous but find Canvasback Pond and double bogeys on their scorecards.  If you want to play it safe, you can reach the green in three shots without entering Canvasback Pond.  So enjoy Osprey Point Golf Course by being adventurous or playing it safe out there on the course.
