Addison Reserve in Delray Beach Florida is home to 27-holes of private championship golf created by golf course architect, Arthur Hills. The three 9-hole courses, Redemption, Trepidation and Salvation, provide a challenging experience featuring a breathtaking backdrop to the elegantly appointed golf course homes in the nineteen private village enclaves of this private golf course community.
TREPIDATION: A ROLLER COASTER OF A COURSE
Trepidation, with its soaring elevation changes starts out slow much like the steady climb at the start of the roller coaster, then it twists, turns and ultimately descends on the ninth green. Nervous agitation might be present on the ninth fairway. The prudent might well be advised to bail out to the left and hope for a favorable kick rather than risk landing in a watery grave to the right.
SALVATION: A GOLF CHALLENGE TO THE FINISH
The creek on nine Salvation sets up a classic par-five finish. Most will play this as a three shot hole, so the creek fronting the green will likely need to be avoided twice, on a lay-up and the flip wedge approach.
REDEMPTION: GREAT PRIVATE COURSE FOR PLAYERS OF VARIED SKILL
Redemption, with its slightly shorter length, does offer the chance to win back a few squandered strokes. The ninth hole on Redemption is somewhat of an equalizer hole in that the longer hitter will likely use a shorter club off the tee so the shorter hitter may find an opportunity, with a delicate approach, to win the match.
