Those seem to be just a few of the components behind the innovative Trilogy hybrid golf course at Ocala Preserve, a versatile Florida layout that makes the game endlessly entertaining for golfers of every age. December 2016 | 15 Subscribe today at juniorgolfmag.net Trilogy’s Hybrid Course Maximizes Space and Time BY JUNIOR GOLF STAFF VARIETY–THE SPICE OF LIFE Tripp Davis, of Tripp Davis and Associates golf course architecture, and PGA professional Tom Lehman teamed up with Trilogy Active Life- style Communities, a division of Shea Homes, to create this hybrid course in an active adult residential development. The course, which is currently open for public play, features 18 par- 3 holes, overlaid with six regulation length holes that include four par 4’s, one par 3 and one par 5. As a result, the hole variations and even their di- rections offer a seemingly limitless number of op- tions at Trilogy at Ocala Preserve. You can even play the first six holes of the Par-3 course as a six- hole loop if your schedule is tight, or as a warmup before playing the six regulation length holes. “We wanted to give players a variety of choic- es, based on their skill levels, style preferences and time limitations,” says Davis. “For instance, the first six holes are progressive, but from the 7th tee onward you can alternate hole locations, if you wish.” Davis believes that hybrid courses such as the one at Ocala Preserve will become increasing- ly accepted. While they will never overtake the traditional courses in popularity, he thinks they clearly serve a purpose. And in the case of this particular course, it was developed in order to accommodate a small footprint of approximately just 50 acres. Continued on page 16
