Holes such as the 7th, a par-4 that rewards those who can make a 230-yard carry over water with an easy birdie chance while making life much more difficult for shorter hitters, are indicative of the risk/reward quotient at Black Mountain. The signature 11th, a par-three played to an island green, is also unforgiving. Nevertheless, wide fairways and generous greens mean that Black Mountain is rarely anything less than an egalitarian experience.
