Holes 10-14 on SVCC's Grace Course form a loop centered upon the Villa Pazetti.  The 10th tees off in front of the Villa and the 14th green is on the right of the Villa.

You could have holes 1-4, 9 on SVCC's Old Course, 10-12 and 13-15, 18 as well.

Santa Ana CC in Santa Ana has 10-13, then 14-18 returning back to a similar point.

The overall course is garbage and in horrible condition, but I had a lot of fun growing up on a little place called Tomoka Oaks in Florida.  My best friend and I must have played that course 500 times growing up, and we always secretly hoped for a tie at the end of 18 so that we could replay 10, 16, 17, and 18 as a four-hole playoff loop.  

10 is a 415 yard par four playing with a 90-degree dogleg right.  OB tight to the right, so you have to be careful.  If you play close to the corner, you'll leave yourself a short-iron into a small green well-protected on the left.  If you play to the center, you're looking at a 4 or 5 iron in, with OB still prominent on the right.  Good starter to a 4-hole playoff.  16 is a short par-4.  Reminds me of the short par-4 at Doral where Tiger launched his drive over the trees to reach a few years back -- only left-to-right rather than right-to-left.  You can launch your ball over OB on the right and leave yourself a pitch to the green, or you can lay an iron out to the middle and leave a short iron in.  17 is a 135yd par-3, well-protected in front, with a green similar to 7 at Engineers, that means some very close tee shots and lots of birdies -- unless you're over the green, where you're dead -- or would be if they could get the greens higher than 6 on the meter.  18 is a reachable, 530yd, usually downwind par-5, but very narrow with tree trouble right and left, and a well-placed bunker off the right side of the fairway.  Second shot plays downhill with an open front to allow shots to roll on if hit right.  Bunkers at 4 and 8, though, will gobble up the slightly offline shot.

If I had a dollar for every two-shot lead that was lost in our four-hole playoffs, I'd be several hundred better-off.
