The Norman Course Though I did not get to actually play The Norman Course on this trip, here is an overview. Distinguishing it from the others is seven holes on the waterway, resulting in its being the most "scenic" of the four. Also, Norman has worked with the natural contours of the land as he found them. Abundant waste areas and natural vegetation frame many holes of a course which in places resembles some of the desert layouts of the Southwest. It also features McKenzie style bunkers with sloping white faces. There are a few sod-wall bunkers. The greens slope gently and are designed to receive bump-and-run approaches. Norman employed a variety of turf grasses to add color to the scene. The tees and fairways consist of GN-1, a hybrid Norman turf. The approach areas are Tiff Dwarf, the rough areas are zoysia and GN-2 and the greens are A-1. The course plays to par 72 and stretches to 7,200 yards.
