could be tree hooked or in the woods . A prefect drive will leave the golfer with a short pitch shot over a attractive water hazard into a wide shallow green .
Hole 18 - Par 5 , 437 yards – Everyone loves a short Par-5 – and a chance at birdie – to end their 18-hole round of golf , but don ' t let this short par-5 hole fool you . First off , you must have an accurate drive off the tee . If you hit left your ball
will roll downhill through a heavily wooded area , and if you hit right your ball it is destined to carom off the big boulders along the woods edge . On you second shot , the golfer will be faced with a big challenge to go for the green , which is guarded by a fountain adorned pond , or lay up without rolling into the water . Also , the green is double tiered and if you get on the wrong tier a three-putt is inevitable .
Eagles Nest Country Club
Opened in 1979 ( Benjamin J . Wihry – Architect ), Eagles Nest Country Club is one of the most challenging and scenic golf courses in our region . Winding through the wooded hills of Central Pulaski County , Eagles Nest offers a breathtaking setting for a most memorable round of golf or event .
The challenging 18- hole course plays host to many big events including the Kentucky State All " A " Boys High School Championship , the Kentucky Open Qualifier and the 2009 Women ' s Senior State Amateur
Championship .
Golfers will be challenged on the very first hole on both the front and back nines . Two small postagestamp greens sit onto a hillside , which is nestled behind deep gorge .
Eagle ' s Nest signature hole in the par-3 , eighth hole . The tee box sits high above a large green , which is guarded by a large manmade lake . When hitting a lofted iron into this green , the ball seems to float in the air forever , and hopefully it lands on the Nest ' s wellmanicured green , and not the drink .
