[In this entry, we visit the Fantasia Fairways course. (For the Fantasia Gardens course, click HERE)]
"Fantasia Fairways (for the more serious golfers) challenges with exaggerated contours, menacing water hazards and diabolical sand traps. The layout combines par-three and par-four holes ranging in length from 40 to 75 feet. Par is 61 and covers 1,445 feet." (from AllEarsNet)
--------------------
Hole 1: Rolling Symphony (65 ft., par 3)
Brave the ups and downs of this hold and your score will be off to a melodious start.

The key to this hole is to step lightly and gracefully down the middle of the fairway

This hole will make you want to roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news

I played this course in 2002. It's even tougher than it looks (at least to someone of my limited skill)! I don't remember my score, which is probably just as well. Thanks for stirring up some pleasant memories!
