After we had the day before the extraordinary Quarry played course, it left the next morning to the World Woods GC . The club has two 18-hole courses and one 9-hole course. The two championship courses were designed by Tom Fazio. As the Rolling Oaks course was closed for refurbishment, and the Pine Barrens in the top 100 places in the U.S. was gerated, I had booked weeks before the start time on the Pine Barrens. We were not disappointed.

After our navigation system not only was the club, we were a bit short of time. Ultimately, we were on time but on the first tee. There we got from the starter, the longest introduction I had heard somewhere. Almost 5 minutes to tell us the good man the history of the place as it is structured, what we had observed and that all the "bunker" were to be regarded as a waste area. And sand had the space without end. Someone once wrote, the place would be the "Pine Valley of the poor man" (we paid $ 40 green fee in the preseason). Although I can only judge from pictures, that I will probably never play Pine Valley, but the place was is also a large, pine-lined fairways and greens with some bunkers call. Ground conditions were ideal for a golf course. In addition, it was again, as before, on and off. The place was anything but flat.

The round very nice with a relatively easy par 4, in which I reminded me of some places in the sand belt west of London felt . I was not everywhere, but this definitely was not Florida, as I knew it before. The discount went through a swath of pine trees to a wide fairway. From there had it is not too far to the green. A very relaxed start. The next hole we were all excited again by the sight of tea. Very nice to play and not too easy. And so it went on the first 9th Par 3 with peninsula green, a long hitter for par 5 reachable in two shots and varied par-4 holes with mostly elevated greens. This could actually not be topped. But we went anyway.

After four very good for the beginning of the second 9 holes (a par 4 at other alternative greens) we came to (after in my opinion) high point of the place. Hole 14 and 15 The green at hole 14 (par 5) can reach the hitter back by two strokes. However, these should both be extremely precise. The hole is secured to the right and left with pine trees and has huge bunkers in strategic locations. For the drop in the green, most players will have a huge oak in front of him to a life even easier. The elevated green is then completed on three sides protected by deep bunkers (made with an acquaintance). Here, the architect was really creative. Hole 15 I would describe it as "men" hole. The par 4 is fairly short (313 yards). You can either by two strokes the wide fairway to the left to play. This did our ladies. Both played par or you can attack the green (or the little fairway before it) directly. 208 yard and 260 yard fairway to consider feasibility of up to the green. You have to play very well. And we were not two men at the moment. The track was in place, but both moved to the right ... Oh well. Does not work just always ... Then there were three beautiful holes at the end of the round and we were completely happy. So who's coming to Florida, should not only think of Sawgrass and the Blue Monster. You power on the direction of Brooksville. It will not be disappointed.
