That was what I noticed, and even commented on when we were playing. I had mentioned to my wife that the front nine actually had what seemed like alot of elevated greens and I never really noticed where when we seemed to be going up, you never seem to go back down. Although I believe that maybe 8 or 9? had a drop off, but not as substantial as you would have expect to be able to get back down to the clubhouse. That was I believe after the hole that has a cart path that runs through the bunker and is covered with sand. We had caught a group in front of us on that hole, that dropped off at nine. I saw the guy drive through the sand as we were walking up to the green on the prior hole, and my mouth dropped open and was just shaking my head, as I told my wife I was wondering if the guy gave any thought to how he planned on getting the cart out of the trap. You couldn't tell until you got up to the tee box that it was the path. I thought maybe they did things a little different around the sand in Florida.
If my memory serves me, the 2nd is the top picture. I believe I found water twice on that hole, as it was a windy day and my driver didn't quite carry as I expected on the second water bend, and also didn't push left like I expected. Then the approach pushed to the left more than I expected and found the left bend in front of the green
