Paradise Lake Golf Course
The Paradise Lake golf course is a mix of challenging and relaxing holes. The first hole is a short Par 5, a good chance for a positive start. But take care of the next hole because this is a long par 3, and the first time over the lake. Hole 3 and 4 are two par 4 which should not be a big problem. For the next par 4 the hole 5 listen to your caddie or look carefully on your GPS. No driver, you have to play a perfect iron in front of the lake. Also, the next hole is tricky, again a short par 5. But maybe to play the driver is not the best decision. Along the fairway right the lake and left out of pounds. And in front of the green is again a small lake. If you decide to play from the back tees, on the Tee 7 you have to be a long hitter. The first landing zone over the lake is more or less 180 yards carry. The next hole where your course management is important is the 12, a par 4 again with water in front of the big green. Brazilian golf architect likes island greens. Finally, at the Paradise Lake Course, you can find it at the last hole. It is a short par 3. Therefore, the problem is not to reach the green, it is more the decision half or full swing.
