The par 3s at Floridian are distinctive and difficult, the 12th hole is no exception.

Bold players will challenge the narrow green in two with trouble looming on all sides of the hole.

Last but not least, #16 is the final par 3 on the golf course. A multi-tiered green that measures 55 yards from front to back asks the player to hit anything from a short iron to a fairway metal. Hitting your tee shot on the correct tier gives you the best chance at birdie.

The picturesque 17th is a phenomenal risk reward hole. The player will be forced to carry the marsh to reach the fairway. This short par 4’s green can be reachable for the longer hitters, however players are typically left with a dicey short wedge into a prevailing headwind. Beware of the false front that lurks behind the deceiving mid range bunkers.
