Six — 500 Yards, Par 4
"The Bear"

The sixth is one of the more dramatic enhancements of the 2006 renovation project. The sixth was a 420-yard par 4 with the second shot over Floyds Fork. Players will not notice much difference from the tee but the second shot will be a real eye opener. The green has been moved back 80 yards, leaving players with an approach shot of 180 to 200 yards after a well-positioned tee shot. The green has been totally redesigned with plenty of trouble. A deep bunker will guard the left side of the green and a closely mown collection area will grab shots to the right. This will be a difficult par for players of all skill levels.
