The green compliment the hole in a big time way. The shot needed will need to marry a prodigious stroke with uncanny accuracy. The hole does move to the right and for those daring enough to take on the major challenge it is possible to attempt to cut the corner. This superlative hole slides slightly downhill before rising. When you reach the 10th tee you are now taking on the strength of the course. The inward side closes out with two solid par-4's.

A series of trees near the green mandate awareness in determining how bold or cautious one plays from the tee. The 7th plays 323 yards but there's plenty to decide upon when at the tee. Early on in Jack's design career the involvement of short par-4's was not exactly done well.

The short par-4 7th is a risk/reward driveable par-4 and it's done well. The key is taking sufficient club to make the carry required. The green also features a spine that splits one side of the green from the other. The hole plays substantially uphill and the green wraps itself around a very deep frontal bunker. Holes 4 and 5 are good but when you arrive at the mega-demanding par-3 6th you face a clear execution requirement. The par-3 3rd lists at 175 yards but the carry to the elevated target makes the hole play a bit longer. The opening two holes belie what the golfer will soon experience They are fairly flat and simply provide a way to stretch the muscles for the challenge that follows.įollowing the par-5 2nd - you climb uphill to terrain that will ultimately provide the true 'summit' experience. The course is segregated from the rest of the property and the isolation serves the playing of the game quite well. Just over seven years old - Summit Rock is the private club associated with the Horseshoe Bay facility.
