Mahony's
Point Course - Par
72 - 6,780 Yards
Mahony's Point is a
very scenic golf
course with some
very fine golf
holes. Water comes
less into play here
than on the Killeen
course but there are
many fine trees and
plantations to
penalise the wayward
stroke.
The final three
holes are the most
memorable. The 16th
is a par-5 that
plays downhill
towards the Lake
with the fairway
bisected by a stream
that all also
catches anyhing to
the left off the
tee. Longer hitters
will have a chance
of reaching the
large green.
The 17th is a
shortish par-4 but
the fairway runs
alongside the lake
back towards the
clubhouse. There is
no room for error on
the right hand side
and the left is
protected by rough
and a line of
evergreen trees. The
final hole is
Mahony's Point most
famous, a par-3 of
nearly 200 yards
that requires a huge
carry across the
corner of the lake.
Gene Sarazen called
it "one of the most
memorable holes in
the world". |
