Playing the Course.

It's evident the moment you approach the first tee that this is a special place. The 451 par 4 is an undulating stretch of fairway with a formidable bunker to your right.

Although Canebrake is aesthetically pleasing - it requires patience, well thought out shots and carefully planned execution.

If you work up a sweat on the second hole have no fear, the walk between the 2nd green and the 3rd hole is surrounded by protected wetlands, which drops the temperature by 7 to 8 degrees. So cool off from that Mississippi heat before you hit that next tee shot!

The longest par 4 at Canebrake has a huge green, but it's an extremely small consolation.

You're hitting slightly uphill on the tee and then it's downhill from there - in more ways than one. The green is big, sure, but tucked behind a dangerous pond. And why stop there? A bunker guards the front of the green on the left, so forget rolling a long second shot up to the pin. You've got to hit this green from the air. The good news, well, it's a big target, and you'll be hitting downhill to it. Plus, there's plenty of room on the backside, so you can feel comfortable using plenty of club on that second (or third) shot.

The best way to attack this long hole is to do just that. Attack it. Hit the ball really hard. Then hit it really hard again. A good drive may give you a shot at the green on that second shot. But if not, lay up and pop one close. If you're able to squeeze out par, congratulations. Take it and run.

The 18th Hole May be Your Most Formidable Opponent.

It's the longest par 4 on the course measuring 464 yards and has a knack of making or breaking your match. If you play this hole well then you deserve a trip to the much less formidable 19th!
