Our favorite holes at Burnside Island :

Hole 5 - Par 3 , 180 yards – This picturesque hole is up is al uphill to a long narrow green . Anything left will end up way below the green level , anything right will find the woods . If the pin is in the back of the green , good luck with a two-putt . Once you reach the green , golfers will be treated with a spectacular view of Lake Cumberland . Hole 16 - Par 3 , 157 yards – Another beautiful

par-3 hole will challenge the golfer towards the end of the round . With a tee box sitting high above the level of the green ' s surface , a large fountain-laced pond guards a wide narrow green . The farther the pin is placed on the right of the green , the more water that comes into play . There is a slight bailout area to the left of the green , if a golfer fears losing their best golf ball . However , there is trouble behind the green if you hit it too far .
