Scorecard
A fine example of the attention to detail that the Club board places on presenting the course in as pure a Ross state as possible. A 1928 aerial photo showed only two front bunkers, and yet in 1994 the hole had four such bunkers. Figuring that two bunkers had erroneously been added, the Club removed them. Then, signed Ross plans came to light that showed he had in fact added the two bunkers in 1931. Armed with this new information, the Club authorized for the pair of bunkers to be restored. Top flight work was carried out in the summer of 2000 and once again four bunkers guard this severely pitched back to front green. A complete delight.
Club selection is critical. The back-to-front sloped green will feed balls back toward the front. Miss the green long and your second shot will run to the front. Miss short and face a blind shot up to the flag. Play to the middle of the green from which most hole locations are accessible.
