Blackberry Trail Golf Course in Florence, Alabama, opens with a demanding tee shot that favors a right-to-left ball flight, with a large tree protecting the left side and a stream running away from the tee that lengthens the carry for anything drifting right. The approach is a short iron to an L-shaped green defended by bunkers to the right and behind.
Water and native areas come into play elsewhere on the layout. One hole carries a lateral hazard down its entire right side with out of bounds left, leaving a long iron into a narrow green even after a well-struck drive.
The course's longest hole plays as a three-shot par with a dogleg right roughly 100 yards short of the putting surface. A native area along the right punishes errant tee shots, while bunkers flank both sides of the landing area for the second shot. The green is narrow, undulating and slopes from back to front.
