The Island Green is the signature hole at Shelter
Valley Golf Course. There are three Pichl's
sculptures in this area.
Even though it is the shortest hole, it challenges players of all abilities. At only 100 yards the island green is not easy to land your ball on. The tee offs are elevated and even though your ball might land on the green it might also just roll off into the water.
If you hit the correct distance, but miss to the right you are likely to land your ball in the water around the Dragon Sculpture that guards this green.
If you hit straight, but long, you will be looking for you golf ball around the Gaia Sculpture. The spring water flows by gravity through this cement statue.
Missing to the left will place your golf ball in vicinity of the Fore Sculpture. The Fore Sculpture was designed to convey the emotion of the player after an errant shot. The yell "fore" is for the safety of others.
