Here's an example from a quirky Minnesota course called Mississippi Dunes -- I've referenced it a time or two here because of some of its unusal features.
On this hole, the par-5 14th, railroad ties were used on the faces of all the fairway bunkers -- and the bunkers are effectively placed to alter your strategy. I can tell you from personal experience that when you've got to play a shot out of one of these bunkers from up against the railroad ties, you can have some negative thoughts at the top of your backswing.
Of all the features at MD that make it a unique course, the railroad tie bunkers are way down the list of things I'd change.
