I've played there many times. I live about 15 miles from the course.
It is one of the most unique holes in all of golf.
Local reports say Duane Hagadone, the developer spent just over 1 million dollars to build this green alone.
It is an engineering marvel in the golf industry.
The green can be moved in and out from the shore with about 170 yards in distance change.
The island is built with a huge funnel at the bottom to catch all the water, chemicals, etc that percolate through the green.
This is all then pumped back to shore and into the water treatment system.
It really is a fun hole to play and I think it's one of the most beautiful in all of golf.

Here's a photo I took last summer when I played it.
