Hideout - Florida - USA

There was a point in Floridian history where beachfront property was the absolute ideal for golf. The continual addition of population has made a new variety of property more desirable, however: that which is totally isolated from the rest of the world. Hideout Golf Club lives up to its name, tucked away from any real estate developments, and totally committed to golf.

Kelly Blake Moran was chosen to create this Naples-adjacent route and, as with other designs in his portfolio, big bunkers and curious greens are the calling card here. The signature hole is the No. 5 par three, which features a green much longer than it is wide, tucked along a pond, with a row of bunkers up the right side. Needless to say, the deeper the pin, the tougher the attack.

Another drivable hole is perhaps worth the most conversation, however. No. 16 features a similar green, sandwiched between six bunkers. The ideal line for those attacking the green of this 310-yard par four requires the carry of a tall evergreen bush. A further distraction down the left side of the fairway is a line of eight bunkers, closely stacked to appear like Oakmont pews.
