Golf Hole #4, Par 3 with Pete Dye signature pot bunker guarding the front pin position and a hard line produced by this beautiful bulkhead.

The Landing area at the par 5 #9 golf hole is guarded by this 200 year old live oak. This live oak, dripping with Spanish Moss, once caught fire years ago. Somehow, the tree continues to stand and thrive even though half of the trunk was burned. The base of this tree is great spot for photographs.

A closer look at the #10 green site. This site was created by Mr. Dye after staking out the tee complex for #11. Mr. Dye said, "This is where #10 green should go. Get rid of that old dogleg. This is a hell of green site".

The waste area to the right of the fairway wraps around the entire back side of #10 green complex.

At #10, this small green features a strong side on the right and is slightly tilted from back to front and right to left.

Here are some Pete Dye pot bunkers in the landing area transition zone with a massive waste area to the left that protects both #11 and #15 fairways.

The par 3 #12 golf hole.

A closer look at the 12th green shows a hard line on the right side accentuated by two green side pot bunkers on the right. Notice how the undulations of the left side of the green spill in from the complex surround itself, a Pete Dye trademark. The place to miss this green is to the left if your going to bailout... But, beware, your next chip shot will be running towards the water downhill.   

Another beautiful hard line created by Mr. Dye down the right side of #13 golf hole. Golf balls seem to gravitate towards the water here.

#13 green is hard to hit in regulation for a couple of reasons. Mr. Dye's hard line draws your tee shot toward the water. However, Mr. Dye's famous offset putting green philosophy rewards shots that take a different line into the green. Here a poorly struck tee shot will force a player to hit the approach shot over water. A well positioned tee ball will allow a player to run the ball up onto the greens putting surface.

The back of number #13 green appears to have an edge that falls directly into the water... making players second guess that iron shot from the center of the fairway.

The home hole at Ford is a 507 yard Par 4 from the back tees. To hit this green 2, take out a long iron or hybrid and aim to the left side of the complex. Golf balls that land near the greens left side will be propelled onto the putting surface and may have a chance to go in! Stay clear of the right side pot bunkers because they can cause a big number on the score card.
