Good Bye

I cannot believe how fast this semester has gone. This project has taught me so much about starting an online business. There were times when I wanted to give up but I kept on pushing through it. I am glad that I did because I kept learning more about different websites and more information about Kiawah Island. I also learned how to become a blogger and I truly enjoy it. This has made me very excited about going back to Kiawah Island in the future. I hope you have gotten just as excited as I have about Kiawah Island. I also hope that you have learned more about the island and other areas around the island. You can have a wonderful vacation with your family or friends at such a beautiful place. I know the memories from my family vacations there are always on my mind. The beach is a great place to go no matter what time of year it is. Do not forget that you can look back at my different blog posts to get the right information you need. You can also go to my website http://vacationkiawah.webs.com/ to get even more information about Kiawah Island. You can find articles there to read about what other people think of Kiawah Island. I hope you have enjoyed reading each blog post that I have posted about the island. Go out and travel to Kiawah Island, you will have a wonderful time there. Thank you for reading my blogs about a special place in my heart.

Sneeze Page

If you are ready to do some traveling because you are tired of staying where it is cold or want to go somewhere new. Then Vacation Kiawah can help you with that since there are many blogs about the different places you can go while staying at Kiawah Island or traveling through Charleston, South Carolina. I know I am getting the itch to travel to places and if I could get the chance I would be heading straight to Kiawah Island. I am sure since you have been keeping up with the blogs and the website you are just ready to go there yourself. There are ideas of where to stay, eat, play, and many other exciting places to go while experiencing Kiawah Island, South Carolina.

If you go back to September there are blogs about restaurants to eat at while in Charleston and Kiawah Island. There are blogs about renting places to stay while on the island. There is a blog about the packages that are available to purchase while on the island.

In October, there are blogs about photography, nature, and the golf courses on the island. Most of the blogs in October are about the golf courses since they are so well know. There is so much detail on each course that you will feel like a pro.

In November, I wrote blogs about how to spend your days while on Kiawah Island. There are three different ones and they explain how to spend your day on the beach, the house, or Freshfields Village. Then there are a couple of blogs about what I would do if I could go back to Kiawah Island.

Then in December, I wrote about the South Carolina Aquarium and what they have to offer. I also mention crabbing, traveling, and the weather on the island.

There is plenty of useful and entertaining information about Charleston and Kiawah Island. So go ahead and dig deeper into the blogs.

Analyzing a top blog

I was looking through Carolina Joes’ blog and noticed how well it was put together. The blog covers many different areas of the South Carolina Real Estate. I find it really fascinating how the blog is posted almost every day or every couple of days. The blog covers Charleston South Carolina Real Estate, which talks about the different areas that are available to live in. Another topic is what they sold and it tells you how many they have sold. Then there is a place for homes for sale and buying a home, which also tells you how many entries they have. Another area is Charleston restaurants, which is really neat since it explains different restaurants to go to. It also has an area for community information, which tells you if there is construction in certain area. It talks about financing in the Charleston area. There is even a section on green features. There is only one blog post about home inspection. They talk about home maintenance, home renovation, and homeowners insurance. They also mention market conditions, miscellaneous topics, property taxes, selling a home, and a welcome section. The last area that they cover is on events and attractions, which is their biggest area of blogs. This area talks about different places you can go and check out. It is really interesting since they post pictures to go along with the places. You can check this all out on http://www.carolinajoe.com/blog/ to get a better look at what they have to offer.

Weather

The weather in any place can be very fickle. I remember the weather being different every time we went to Kiawah Island, South Carolina. The first time we went in July and part of August and it was very hot. The second time we went to the island in early July and it was hot. It was not as hot as the first time we went. The third time was in mid July and it was even warmer than the second time. The fourth and fifth times were at the end of June. This really made quite a difference in the temperature while we stayed on the island. It was really nice but not super hot either. I think that was really nice since I am not one for hot weather. Even though the weather can change from season to season, you can still have a wonderful time on Kiawah Island. It looks like this week they are in for some lovely weather. They get temperatures in the fifties and the sixties. That sounds wonderful right about now since the temperatures are in the twenties and thirties where I am from. I would love to drop everything and head on down to Kiawah Island to be able to enjoy that weather. Since I am not one for cold weather either. It would be lovely weather to go golfing while on the island. That really beats the winter weather that is going on right now. You do not have to go to Kiawah Island only in the summer. You can go anytime of the year. If I had the chance, I would be down there right now. Go ahead take some time off and go enjoy Kiawah Island’s wonderful weather.

Traveling

Traveling on vacation can be a hassle depending on who you are. I know packing can be difficult but I never saw any problem with it when my family went on vacation. It always seemed that we got everything to fit into the vehicle we took. Now you may not want to drive all the way to Kiawah Island, South Carolina. For those that do not want to drive you can get a flight on an airplane. The only problem with that is you cannot pack everything you want to take due to it not fitting in your bag unless you want to pay for extra luggage. Now that is not always fun to do so I would recommend driving down there. I think road trips are a lot of fun especially with family. Plus you can stop at different locations on the way to Kiawah Island. That was one of my favorite parts about traveling on vacation was getting to go to different states on the way there and learning more about the states or places we would go to. There was time for bounding with different family members since we went together as families. Sometimes I would get to ride with my cousins and we would talk or watch movies or read books on the way down there. There is always time for a nap as long as you are not the one driving the vehicle. It is up to you to make this traveling experience a great one for your family. Happy Traveling!

Crabbing

I would never have thought to go crabbing while on Kiawah Island but it is a perfect way to involve the whole family on a great activity.  It sounds like it is easy to do and not that expensive either.  First, you need to review the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources guidelines on crab regulations.  This is just to keep you out of trouble.  Second, you will need to get your equipment and bait.  You can get some inexpensive crab line and weights at the sport store located at Freshfields Village.  Crabs will eat any kind of meat but the recommended bait is boney chicken parts such as wings or necks.  You just need to make sure you get meat with bone interconnected to make it easier to fasten your line to your bait.  Then you will need to find a good crabbing location.  The ideal place would be near tidal salt or brackish waters, which are located near docks, bridges, and boat landings.  You can go to the Kiawah river boat lands since you can sit down on clean places and plus you are sage from marsh predators.  You will want to knot the crab line around your bait securely.  The weights will help keep the line from being too high up in the water.  You will then throw one end of the line into the water and hold on to the other end of the line.  Then it is the waiting game for the crabs to find your bait.  You will feel some tension on the line.  Next, you will want to slowly pull up the line hand over hand.  Once the crab and bait are closer to the surface, you will need some assistance with pulling in the crab with a net.  You can keep your crabs cold in a cooler or a bucket.  By doing this activity as a family, you also have dinner but you will not want to wait too long to cook the crabs.  This is because they will not last long out of water. Go get those crabs!

South Carolina Aquarium

The South Carolina Aquarium on Charleston Harbor is a really neat place to check out while in Charleston, South Carolina.  There are plenty of areas to go to and it does not matter how old you are.  There is the Great Hall, which introduces the aquarium to visitors.  It has a large wall map of South Carolina that allows you to see the regions of South Carolina at the aquarium.  The Mountain Forest Aviary journeys some of the habitats in the Blue Ridge Mountains of South Carolina.  On your walk, you go through waterfalls and sheltered by a canopy of trees with songbirds in them.  Under the largest waterfall, there are two young river otters that you can see.  In the water, there are three different types of freshwater trout that you can see swimming.  In the Piedmont Gallery, you get to explore the natural habitats of bass, crappies and suckers.  The other exhibits give a peek into what South Carolina use to look like in prehistoric times and the science behind fly-fishing.  You get to discover the fish, reptiles, amphibians and plants in the Coastal Plains Gallery.  The Saltmarsh Aviary is an interesting exhibit that gives you the feeling of kayaking through a salt marsh tidal creek.  It allows you to get a close look at the coastal plants, birds and marine life.  In the Coast Gallery it shows sea horses, flounder and stingrays that live in the Charleston Harbor.  There are other exhibits in this gallery you can check out while you visit.  The centerpiece of the Ocean Gallery is a two-story Great Ocean Tank that holds hundreds of animals.  For instance there are sharks, pufferfish, and a loggerhead sea turtle in the tank.  Do not forget to look at the other exhibits in this gallery.  You cannot forget the Touch Tank, which allows you to touch live invertebrates.  They have hermit crabs, whelks, sea urchins, horseshoe crabs, Atlantic stingrays, and much more.  It sounds like you could have quite an adventure in the South Carolina Aquarium.

Off The Island

I would really love to explore off the island instead of staying in the house.  In the past, we were only allowed to go to Freshfields Village when the moms had to go shopping for groceries.  It was reasonable when we were younger but now that we are older we can go places without adult supervision.  It would be lovely to go to Freshfields Village with a few of my cousins and just be able to look around the stores.  We could even do some shopping while we were there.  We could also go for dinner instead of eating at the house.  I think it would be really neat to spend time with my cousins without being in the house with others.  If that did not work, we could always go to a restaurant on the island.  I mentioned a few of them in previous blogs that sounded good to me.  It was always nice to get out of the house ever once in a while.  You love your family but sometimes you just need your space from them.  Especially when you are all under one roof day in and day out.  In my last blog, I talked about going on bicycle rides around the island to check it out.  I would even love to take some of the nature classes that the island offers to guests.  I think that would be neat to be able to spot the different creatures on the island without them being in a zoo.  There are plenty of other places I would want to go but then I would have a long blog post.

To Go Back To Kiawah Island

If I were to go back to Kiawah Island, South Carolina, I would definitely go golfing on the courses they have on the island.  I have had the opportunity to learn golf while at school and I would love to be able to play on a real golf course.  I would do this with my uncles because they love to go golfing while we have stayed there.  Also now that I have learned more about the golf courses on the island, I would have knowledge about each hole.  That may or may not help me while I play a round of golf.  I would love to be able to explore the island by a bicycle.  I would ride the nature trails up and down the island to see different areas of the island.  Once we started living in the house, we only stayed near the house.  We never got to go exploring since we were too young to go by ourselves.  Now that I am older I can do that without adult supervision.  I also would like to check out their tennis courts on the island.  I am not very good at tennis but it would be neat to be able to play on their courts.  I would be able to learn better technique from the workers at the courts.  I think it would be neat to be able to go to the different restaurants that I talked about in my blogs.  When we stayed there we never got to go to the restaurants on the island.  I would love to be able to check those out and be able to eat at a few of them.  There are many other activities I could do if I went back but these are just a few of them.

To Go Back To Charleston

If I were to go back to Charleston, South Carolina, I would explore so much more areas than I have in the past.  I would visit the places that The Notebook is filmed at.  I mentioned these places in the blogs titled The Notebook, a review and Old Village at Mount Pleasant.  I would visit the downtown Charleston area to explore the different restaurants they have.  Now that I am old enough, I would go to the bars in Charleston, South Carolina.  I would go to Hank’s Seafood Restaurant due to their great food and their history.  The Pavilion Rooftop Bar at the Market Pavilion Hotel sounds amazing.  I would love to have a meal and a nice beverage on the rooftop.  It has some beautiful views of historical Charleston.  Another bar I would love to visit would be AC’s Bar & Grill located in downtown Charleston.  They offer a $2 beer of the month.  They also offer tasty food for a decent price.  This would be a great place to go to if you want to keep on your budget.  I would really enjoy going to see Rainbow Row.  I sort of remember seeing it but now that I am older I would remember it better.  The Boone Hall Plantation would be on my list to visit while in Charleston, South Carolina.  I think it would be fun to just walk around Charleston, South Carolina.  This would be an adventure and I would not really stop unless a place caught my eye.  I am sure there would be other places that I would want to visit but these are a few of the places I would want to visit if I went back to Charleston, South Carolina.

Vincent's Soda Fountain

I cannot believe I forgot to mention Vincent’s Soda Fountain at Freshfield’s Village.  I was reading a blog post about it and I figured I would share it with you.  The website is http://lowcountrytourist.blogspot.com/2010/07/vincents-drug-store-and-soda-fountain.html.  This store has a 1950’s feel to it once you enter.  This store has a pharmacy section, an array of products for visitors to buy, and a diner.  I love how this blog talks about the different aspects of the store.  It really does a wonderful job of talking about the different services this one store can offer to vacation visitors.  I would agree that the diner is the biggest attraction at the store.  This is due to the wonderful food and service they offer to their customers.  I loved going in there with my cousins and getting an ice cream cone or a shake to go while we were shopping.  They really know how to make you feel like you have gone back in time.  This is also due to the old-fashion ice cream treats and old-time candy selection.  I remember finding mallo cups at Vincent’s Soda Fountain.  They are milk chocolate cups with whipped creamy center and a sprinkle of coconut.  They are delicious and hard to find.  But at Vincent’s Soda Fountain, you can find any old-time candy that you ate as a kid.  I would have to agree with the blog post that this is definitely a place to stop by when you are on Kiawah Island.  You will have a rocking time at Vincent’s Soda Fountain.

Old Village at Mount Pleasant

I know in my previous post I talked about The Notebook.  I forgot to mention one location that they shot at but I did not want to talk about it in the last post.  This is because I wanted to go into more details about Mount Pleasant, which is located on South Carolina’s central coast.  Mount Pleasant, South Carolina was used for The Notebook’s film location of the fictional town Seabrook, South Carolina.  Old Village in Mount Pleasant is unique and wonderful place to live.  This is by people biking, running, and walking on the sidewalks and parks.  There use to be a bridge used for trolleys but it got converted into a park.  Half of it is a walkway and the other half is a grassy lawn area with park benches and palm trees.  This bridge is just beautiful with a wooden pier at the end for those fishing fans.  And you can see the sunrise over Sullivan’s Island and the midday sun over Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor.  Do not forget about the sunset behind the charming steepled city scape of Charleston.  Then you can go for a nice meal at the famous historic Post House restaurant.  They offer Toby’s Clam Chowder, Poached P.E.I Mussels, House Salad, Post House Pate Plate, Iceberg Wedge, New Bedford Sea Scallops, Crab Cake, Beef Carpaccio, and Fried Oysters for starters on the dinner menu.  The main dishes are Lowcountry Shrimp & Grits, Seafood Pasta, Grilled Salmon, Crispy Fried Pecan Crusted Flounder, Braised Short Ribs, Post House Lump Crab Cakes, and Grilled New York Strip.  You cannot forget about desserts.  Their dessert menu offers Post House Milkshakes, Seasonal Fruit Cobbler, Banana Cream Pie, Post House Chocolate Cake, Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée, Sorbet, and Cappuccino or Latte.  Sounds like they have a wonderful menu at the Post House.  You should take a short trip there before heading to Kiawah Island.

The Notebook, a review

The Notebook is a lovely story based on two lovers who are different in their social standings.  It stars Rachel McAdams as Allie Hamilton and Ryan Gosling as Noah Calhoun, the two lovers in the story.  This movie is based on a novel that was written by Nicholas Sparks.  This movie is set in the 1940s in South Carolina.  I would go on but I do not want to ruin the movie for you all.  I would recommend watching this movie.  This movie was shot in many different places in South Carolina.  I wanted to let you know where some of the scenes were shot.  For Allie’s college, the backdrop was the College of Charleston located in Charleston, South Carolina.  The Hamilton’s summer house was shot at the Boone Hall Plantation, which I mention in my article “Go See South Carolina” on my website http://vacationkiawah.webs.com/goseesouthcarolina.htm.  King Street in Charleston was used for four different scenes in the movie.  One scene is where Noah and Allie lie watching the traffic light.  Second scene is where Allie and Noah watch a film, which is in the historic American Theater.  The third scene is located in the William Aiken House for the wedding dress fitting scene.  The fourth scene is when Allie and Noah walk and talk for 3 blocks.  For that scene, the production team had to replace the contemporary parking meters with period-style meters.  In North Charleston, the old Navy base area was used for many different shots.  The admiral’s house was used for several interior shots.  The interior of a desanctified chapel went through multiple set transformations to serve as the backdrop for scenes of the USO Dance Hall, the infirmary, the military physical exam room, and recruiting hall.  The last place I will mention is High Cotton in Charleston.  This is the scene where Noah looks through a restaurant window and finds Allie dining with her fiancé.  I am so thankful they shot this film in South Carolina because I have gotten to see some of the places they shot certain scenes.

A Day At Freshfields Village

You can always leave the beach and the place you are staying at to spend a day at the Freshfields Village.  It is at the entrance of the island when you arrive.  There are plenty of shops that you can look at.  This was always my favorite activity to do because it gave us a chance to get away from the house.  We could also explore the shops and see what we wanted to get while we were on vacation.  The grocery store is amazing to look around in.  It has wonderful food for you to get while you stay on the island.  There are plenty of gift shops that sell items with Kiawah Island on it.  I know my family has gotten shirts, sweatshirts, cozies, and various other products with Kiawah Island on it.  I remember the clothing stores that my cousins and I would get to go to.  We would get our summer dresses to wear on the beach or in the house.  I still wear those dresses a lot because when I wear them it reminds me of the wonderful time I had on Kiawah Island.  Another favorite store of ours was the ice cream shop.  My cousins and I would always make it a point to get ice cream when we would go to Kiawah Island.  There are so many memories with them when we would get the same ice cream every time we would go there.  There is also a candy shop that you can go in.  I love going into the candy shop and seeing all the different types of candy they have to offer.  One of my favorite candies to get is the salt-water taffy.  It was a treat to go with our moms and check out the neat gifts they would buy for themselves or for others.  Even if you go a bunch of times, there is always something new to check out.

A Day In The House

If you do not want to spend your day out on the beach, you can spend it in the house you are staying at.  There are plenty of activities to do while you stay in the house. You do not have to get up early if you do not want to.  You can watch a movie on the television.  You do need to bring your own movies.  Or you could play video games on the television.  You need to bring a video game console and games in order to do this activity.  A great family activity is to bring different games along to play with each other.  For instance, my family has played different card games, The Game of Things, Apples To Apples, and Yahtzee while we spent time in the house.  We had so much fun playing those games with each other instead of spending time alone.  You could take naps while the others are outside on the beach.  There are plenty of rooms you could go to so you can read your book in peace.  You can also spend that time writing in your journal.  I remember some of my family members would bring coloring books.  That was a fun activity to do while we stayed in the house.  There are plenty more activities you can do while you stay in the house.  These are just a few of the activities my family did while we stayed in the house instead of going out to the beach.  I hope this helps you plan your vacation to your liking.

A Day On The Beach

There are so many activities you can do while on the beach.  But I am going to describe to you a typical day on the beach.  You can get up early to see the sunrise while you walk on the beach.  It really is a beautiful site to see even if it does mean waking up early on your vacation.  Do not forget to take your camera with you while seeing the sunrise.  Even though a camera cannot capture what the eyes see, it still can do a nice job of trying to capture the moment.  After your walk, you can dip your feet in the ocean water to get a feel of how the water will feel that day.  You can get ready to spend most of your day on the beach.  Just do not forget to put on the sunscreen.  You can spend hours in the water just floating around with your family talking about random things you have done while on your vacation.  You can also sit in a chair on the beach while reading a good book.  You can also build sand castles, play Frisbee, or play beach volleyball with the family.  I would recommend taking a break from being outside during the hottest part of the day, which is between 12 and 2 pm.  During that time you can eat lunch or spend it on the deck while soaking up some sun or reading a good book.  You can spend a few more hours after that on the beach but you need to be careful of when the tide comes in.  Once the tide comes in, that ends the fun on the beach.  You will want to make sure all of your items are picked up before the tide comes in.  If you do not do so, you will have lost your items to the ocean.  Have a wonderful time on the beach!

Cougar Point Golf Course Part 2

Here is the hole-by-hole review for the back nine holes of Cougar Point Golf Course.  Hole 10 – It looks like Gary Player, the designer of this golf course, made changes to this hole due to everyone having their ball go into the pond.  Therefore, Player dug the pond back toward the trees and filled in by the landing area.  He also added some fairway bunkers.  Hole 11 – This hole has not changed much but the only change was the fairway bunker was moved back and another bunker to the right of the green was added to make it more difficult for players.  It was also one of the holes used in filming “The Legend of Bagger Vance.”  It stared Jack Lemmon who hits his tee shot on this hole and then walks off the tee down the fairway to the left rough.  Hole 12 – The green was lowered about 6 feet and the tees were raised about 6 feet so that there was a 12-foot difference.  This means that shots hit short and right can bounce off the mounding onto the green and that shots hit long players will get wet.  Hole 13 – Gary Player made changes to this hole due to players getting punished for a good drive.  This was due to having bunkers in the middle of the landing area.  So Player moved them to the left rough.  The green is now wider to give a multitude of options for challenging pin placements.  Hole 14 – There use to be a tree on the front-left side of the green but that was removed to make it a fairer hole.  Now there are still challenges on this hole but there is a bailout area to the right of the green.  Hole 15 – This hole use to have quite a few challenges but they fixed some of them to make it a fairer hole.  For example, Player filled in the water-crossing and removed a cluster of oaks.  There is a risk for the better players by going for the green in two shots over the water.  Hole 16 – Players get to hit out of a shoot of oak trees to a narrow landing area.  Bunkers on the left side guard this landing area and on the right side there are trees.  A front left bunker guards the green.  Hole 17 – This hole is the most scenic hole on the course with water down the entire right side.  There are many different ways to play this hole.  The ways you can play are the safe way or you can play over the water and fairway bunkers to land near the green.  Hole 18 – This hole had some changes made by Player pulling the pond back and adding a bulkheaded pond on the left near the green.  Even with the changes, you still need to watch out for the water near the green.  I hope this helps you have a wonderful round of golf while you stay at Kiawah Island.

Cougar Point Golf Course Part 1

The last golf course on the island is Cougar Point.  It looks like Cougar Point is a beautiful course, which will make it a memory for you when you play on the course.  Hole 1 – This hole use to be hard but not it does not beat the player up right off the bat.  There are bunkers on the fairways’ left and right.  Hole 2 – This hole was changed as well since it was relatively easy for players.  Now there are bunkers and water that come into play.  Hole 3 – This hole is a risk/reward hole due to it being switched from two holes to one hole.  Therefore, players need to be careful of the many bunkers and the water that come into play on the course.  Hole 4 – The course becomes more difficult now that it moves into the other holes.  Players need to hit towards the left side of the fairway.  You need to make sure you do not hit too far right since it will make it tougher and the bunker on the right of the green comes into play.  Hole 5 – There is a pond on this hole but it does not come into play much since it is near the tee.  The fairway is fairly wide but you will want to keep your ball on the right side of the fairway.  This is due to tress guarding the left side of the fairway.  Hole 6 – This hole use to be difficult due to the green being small and that it sloped every direction towards the marsh.  But now the green is bigger and it gives players a chance of staying on the green.  Hole 7 – This hole use to be weak but now there is a pond to the left of the green that comes into play.  There are also phantom winds, so watch the treetops when you hit.  You will want to aim your ball to the left to give you room to clear the trees on the course.  Overall it is a pleasing hole for players.  Hole 8 – This hole use to be U-shaped, which made it difficult for players to play on and they did not like it.  Therefore, the course was reshaped and increased playability.  You will want to stay clear of hitting too far right because you will have to hit over a large oak guarding the green.  Hole 9 – This hole looks like a nice one for players.  You will need to watch out for the pond that lines the fairway on the right side.  But it was changed so the balls do not bounce into the water.  That is not fun for players to hit into the water when teeing off.  I hope this helps you on this course since it has been changed from the original course.

Oak Point Golf Course Part 2

The back nine of Oak Point Golf Course looks tough but with these hole-by-hole reviews you will do fantastic.  Hole 10 – The fairway narrows in the landing area of the tee shot.  You need to watch out for the oak tree on the right that can block your shot from that side.  Hole 11 – This hole has bunkers guarding the green for most of the way around it.  There is water in front of the green and on the right of the green.  Hole 12 – There are bunkers that guard the right side of the fairway and there is water on the left side of the fairway.  There is also a bunker guarding the front of the green, which is elevated.  Hole 13 – It looks like you will need to hit with a mid-iron into the green.  You will need to watch out for the pond on the right side of the fairway and the bunkers that are on the left and right side of the green.  Hole 14 – This one is the hardest driving hole on the golf course due to it being tree-lined.  The fairway narrows the farther you hit and you will need to watch out for the lagoon in front of the green.  The bunkers near the green will not come into play unless you are off target.  Hole 15 – It looks like you will need to shot over the water with a mid-to-short iron.  You will need to watch out for the bunker that runs the length of the green just over the water.  The three pot bunkers on the backside of the green do not come into play generally.  Hole 16 – The big hitters can hit past the trouble on this hole.  That includes a fairway bunker on the left and trees on the right if you hit too far.  There is a big bunker on the right side of the green to watch out for.  Hole 17 – This hole can be extremely long, especially playing into the wind.  There is a lagoon on the left side of the fairway to watch out for.  There are also fairway bunkers on the left and right sides of where the second shot landing area is.  There are bunkers and water behind the green.  Hole 18 – It looks like a tough last hole on this course.  There is a marsh in the middle of the fairway.  There are plenty of bunkers that guard the green.  Hopefully, you can do well on the back nine now that you have some knowledge about the holes.
