Please, do not try to get golf balls dropped in surrounding lakes and ponds because alligators live there. They usually stay underwater and are hard to see. If one comes out of a lake, please STAY AWAY from it. If you don't bother them, they won't bother you (well... at least most of the time!!!).

HOLE #17: Another of the difficult final three holes; green is completely surrounded by water, traps and obstacles.
