Magnolia Point Golf Course Layout
The golf course has a combination of open and tight fairways, long and short par-4s, an excellent variety of par-3 holes, and a few 'grip-and-rip holes' that lets you swing away. The greens are very large with subtle slopes which, depending on the pin placement, gives the course a different look on a daily basis. Additionally, the practice facility offers an expansive range that can accommodate up to twenty golfers, a chipping green and a large putting green.
There are five tee markers on each hole. Whether you play from the back tees, the middle tees or the forward tees, golfers of all levels, handy-caps and gender can match their individual skill levels with the golf course.

Scorecard and Hole-by-Hole
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
White #1 – 415 Yard Par 4: Tough opener. 90° dogleg left. Your perfect tee shot rewards you only with a long second for a chance to score. Large, unguarded green, though watch the water hidden on the right when you take your second shot. Back half of the white tee box slants away; watch your setup when the tees are there.
White #2 – 117 Yard Par 3: Downhill to a green backed into the woods, bunker front right. Hard to believe the green slants down and away from the cart path as much as it does, but you’ll 3-putt more times than you’ll care to until you understand that.
White #3 – 343 Yard Par 4: Blind tee shot on this slight dogleg left. Fairway wood off the tee box is a good choice until you understand the hole; otherwise, follow the width of the tee box with the driver to reach the bottom of the hill, leaving a stubby iron in. Larger, evil twin of the green on 2: big slant on the green down and away from the cart path. Red tee box poor.
White #4 – 494 Yard Par 5: Wonderful driving hole, favors the fade. The hole is actually very nearly straight to the green, though clever landscaping and a large Live Oak guarding the entrance to the fairway suggest dogleg right. From 200 yards in, mounding on the left and right is troublesome. Get it close to the pin on the two-tiered green or you’ll be thankful for a 3-putt.
White #5 – 387 Yard Par 4: Tougher drive than in looks, thanks to ‘Sissy Ridge’, the slightly elevated entrance to the fairway at about 200 yards. Stay straight and carry this. Large but reasonable fairway bunker immediately left, unforeseen OB potential to the right; further ahead on the right, hidden lake very much in play on an errant second. Very large green, can play up to 3 clubs depending on pin. Elevation and greenside bunker make blue pin a tough approach.
White #6 – 177 Yard Par 3: One of the newer holes. Pretty hole using all the land and more; sets up like the green at the end of a 5-par. Immense kidney-shaped green that slants up slightly, favoring the fade. Large oak guarding the right, greenside bunkers on both sides. The young green is hard; play one club less. Fun green; true but fast.
White #7 – 398 Yard Par 4: Another ‘big sky’ hole. Water off the tee to the left, then a large landing area, however, a second lake looms ahead of this and can ruin a long, drawn drive. Wave goodbye to anything even a little right of the tee box. The young fairway is hard; play one less club on the approach. Another nice, if fast, green.
White #8 – 521 Yard Par 5: Hit all you’ve got off the tee, straight or draw. Only the worst slice brings the water to the right into play. Watch the yank or hook: left OB and hidden lake further up will make this a much harder hole than it should be. Wide-open second, to an open-throated green; guarded to the right. Red tee box poor.
White #9 – 375 Yard Par 4: No one’s favorite hole. Fairway ends at 230 yards at a 40 yard-deep swamp that chokes the slightly doglegged approach to an upward slanting green. The tee box fools the eye to draw or pull the drive leftward to the woods; right is a spongy waste area. Drive straight and stop it at 225, and it’s a birdie hole. You’ll still wish they'd built it somewhere else.

Blue #1 – 387 Yard Par 4: Dogleg left; the problem with the woods hard by the entire left side should be obvious. There’s more room right than it appears, but anything on or near the cartpath will bounce OB. Straight or draw is the ticket. The second will always play 1, even 2 clubs more into the typical wind in your face. Hit it straight. The green is true if unremarkable.
Blue #2 – 331 Yard Par 4: You’ll be looking at the green from the white markers, and the temptation will be plain. That’s a larger fairway bunker than it looks at 200 yards, yawning upwards at the end. This hole is almost always into the wind. There’s honor in the middle if you can’t carry 240 hard; though this is no ‘gimme’ birdie. The second is into the same wind, and the two-tiered green is very large and grainy, if fair. Left of the green is the toughest Bermuda on the course; don’t go there. Oh, the tee-box is spongy, so get a good footing before ripping.
Blue #3 – 469 Yard Par 5: Good driving hole; there’s more room right of fairway center than it appears. This is important because the lake to the left will ruin any well-hit, if even slightly pulled, drive. Note the pin on your second; this swayback green is diabolical if the pin is red or blue. White spells ‘birdie opportunity’: hit your approach longish or short, and you’ll wander down nicely into short-putt range. For red or blue, think hard about where you want your second to land, and consider which stubby iron or wedge you’re best with. You’ll need it to get close on either of the tiny front or rear landing areas.
Blue #4 – 331 Yard Par 4: Go long and straight. This is a tighter hole than it appears from the tee. Contours deflect the pulled or hooked drive into a lightly-treed jail; depending on the wind, even a modest fade will launch off contours there onto the cartpath and bye-bye. The elevated green adds a club, and the white or blue pins are always deeper than they look. You won’t believe how lost a ball can be if you miss the green long or left.
Blue #5 – 157 Yard Par 3: Most folks’ second-least favorite hole, next to #9. But then, would it be golf? Plays one club longer for just about everyone. Add the prevalent wind, and you’re hitting another, sometimes even one more. Hit all of the club you pick. Miss it short, and the skinniest creek you’ve ever seen will do as good a job on your scorecard as the St. John’s River. Bunkers on either side are play fair; miss it long if you’re in doubt.
Blue #6 - 500 Yard Par 5: Gorgeous hole, that contemporary Southern neo-links look. Grip and rip. Stay centered; mounding to the left along the woods will wreak havoc with every pull all the way to the green. Unseen to the right from the tee is a landing area mercifully carved out of the woods for the fade or benign slice. Careful going in 2: the lake to the right hooks unforeseen into the fairway and the ground will funnel your ball right down into it. Like the 5 Par #12, this is three different holes depending on the pin. Red and white read ‘score’; blue will make you think, or take your chances three-putting to stay dry.
Blue #7 – 362 Yard Par 4: Bowling, anyone? The fader’s dream tee. Dogleg slightly right, which really opens up the landing area much more than you’d think for the straightish or left-to-right drive. However, this is the tightest outline of white stakes you’ll see framing any fairway on the course. Don’t be cute with your approach if it’s a blushing pin: a red flag right will bring that fronting greenside bunker into play, especially given the tendency to thin it off the tight lies almost always found on the fairway, or the deceptively woolly Bermuda rough to the right.
Blue #8 – 132 Yard Par 3: Red or white pins make this a welcome treat after the above. Blue and left, however, will bring the pond into play. Blue and center can do this too: the subtly tiered green can wander anything drawn or ‘hot’ down to sleep with the fishes just as easily as a yank. The only dual-teebox setup on the course for whites. The 100-yard set should be plowed under.
Blue #9 – 381 Yard Par 4: The entrance to the fairway is elevated, and this ridge must be carried to take the claws out of this hole. Stay center or fairway right. This entire hole slopes subtly to the left all the way to the green. For red and white pins, second shots missed right or even somewhat higher up will funnel right at the green, and will almost always delight when you drive up. The very large greenside bunker left plays fair; green slopes up to the back and putts very fair.

Red #1 - 308 Yard Par 4: Nice chance to score right out of the box. Sliding dogleg right, aim for the right edge of the fairway bunker. The green is plain and nearly unprotected but for a bunker low and left. No tricks on the putting surface, just knock it in the clown's mouth.
Red #2 - 481 Yard Par 5: There are more ways to play this hole than any other on the entire course. Drive left or right of the tree in the middle of the fairway, it doesn't matter, just get past it, and tighter is better. Pick a trouble wood or middle iron for your second, and you'll have a wedge in. The dogled down and left adds one, even two clubs to this shot, so don't muscle it. The green slants up front to back, so hit all of whatever wedge you choose. Nice green, but get it close.
Red #3 - 123 Yard Par 3: Our very own 'island' green. Flat as a pancake, big as a carrier deck. Don't get silly with the pin locations: you have as good a chance to make a 2 from 25 feet as 5. What you don't want is a double or worse. So, watch the water. If there's any perky rippling, and you feel the wind noticeably on your face, add a club and just make a kinder, gentler swing. Stay dry.
Red #4 - 341 Yard Par 4: Pretty hole, as if the landscape had grown up around it. Wider landing area than it looks, but center or just to the right is ideal. Don't play the pin: the approach plays a little longer than it looks, and the green is really larger than it seems, so make sure you get there and flatstick your way to par or better.
Red #5 - 530 Yard Par 5: The new signature hole of MPG&CC? Dogleg right. Hit center or right center of the fairway. Beyond the fairway bunker left is a hidden cart path that will bounce you into the water. Don't go there. To the right are woods that are worse than they look for but the gentlest of fades. Second shot: after placing your 'suggestion' in the box, thread the fairway bunkers left and lake to the right to set up your approach. The green seems to shrink as you approach. Not an illusion. Get it close; bunkers will save you left or right, but long is wrong.
Red #6 - 302 Yard Par 4: Pay attention, and do the math. Like all good short 4 pars, it looks longer than it is, and that will play with your head. Get greedy off the tee, and all sorts of things come into play. Hit it straight or fade it long, no matter. Knock it on, putt the nice, plain green, and get out of Dodge.
Red #7 - 328 Yard Par 4: This 'hump' in this hole has a story(!), but we're not telling. Aim at the second floor of the house just to the left of the 150 marker, and hit it all. The fairway bunker on the right side at the top points the way to a watery grave for your ball. Don't push your luck. Like no other hole but all the par 5's on the course, you must get your approach close; this green undulates more than a convention of belly dancers.
Red #8 - 145 Yard Par 3: Brilliant design: the flattest, plainest 3 par with the hardest to judge pin ever. Uses McCumber's trick of a backstop of tall trees to confuse the eye, making it look long...uh, right? Clever shouldering of the fronting greenside bunkers hides the bottoms of center cut pins. Trust the yardage and your swing.
Red #9 - 348 Yard Par 4: Aptly designated by Mr. George Hope 'the postcard hole', the single prettiest 4 Par here. Aim at the second story bedroom window of the only house you see out there, and rip it. Now, take Mr. Bud Vandiver's advice, and add a club, no matter what you're thinking, to the approach. 'Everyone,' Bud observes, 'plays their second short here.' A painful resolution, indeed. Left, right, short and/or long is horrid. Get to the green, And get it close!
