Marsh Harbour
This Dan Maples gem is a fair test that plays
through the
whole bag of clubs. It’s a perfectly designed combination
of six
holes on each nine that
require a variety of shots leading to the
real test of similar, but
more demanding shots on the finishing
holes. Even the scenic beauty is increasingly
intense to enhance
the demands of more
skillful play. The well maintained
fairways
and pine straw rough in the
marshland and waterway setting,
provide a stunning contrast
of color. Just a well-conceived,
logically planned build up
of drama into the final three holes on
each side. No wonder that it has become the choice
to both open
and close the two week
trip, nor that other Maples courses have
become annual favorites (Oyster Bay, Willbrook, Sea Trail and Pearl).
