South Bend CC (Indiana)
#1 Par 4 316 Yards. Short hole going sharply downhill from the tee then back uphill to a steeply sloping green. Drops off sharply to the right of the green. Tee shot must favor right side of fairway for best angle and to avoid trees. Tricky opener.
#2 Par 4 321 Yards. Another short but tricky par four with a TINY green. The approach must be high and precise, and the green slopes toward the front so long and left are dead. Short and right are not great either.
#4 Par 3 150 Yards. After a long par 4 third this is one of my favorite par threes anywhere. This green is also very tiny as would fit a hole of this length. The bunkers are better than the rough here.
#5 Par 5 507 Yards. This hole practically makes a C shape around the lake to the right. The picture is taken from the fairway area between a long tee shot and a lay-up approach. Anyone going for the green must attack a very wide but shallow target, while the layup would come at a 90 degree angle making the green long but narrow. Very reachable, but at your own peril!
#6 Par 4 461 Yards. This photo is taken from just into the right rough. The tee shot is blind over the crest of a hill. A well struck drive will roll making the hole play much shorter leaving a mid-iron approach. Don't miss right, as the trees will make life challenging.
#8 Par 4 361 Yards. From behind the green one can see the hole goes downhill into the landing area then back up to the green. The iron shot is the key here as long is death and short leaves a tricky shot over a 4 foot high false front.
Wish I had pictures of holes 9--14 as there are good ones, but I got rained out on picture taking day, but I do have a few older ones from 15--18.
#15 Par 3 139 Yards. This hole looks pretty simple at first glance, but the winds coming off the lake (or anywhere else) make this little wedge shot much more tricky than it looks.
#16 Par 4 388 Yards. The back tee here is not for the faint of heart! The white tee is much shorter with an opportunity to lay up left and avoid the carry somewhat.
#17 Par 3 211 Yards. Much longer hole that shares some similarities with the 4th. This green is quite a bit larger and flatter than some of the others.
#18 Par 5 478 Yards. This hole plays quite a bit longer than the yardage as the tee shot generally gets no roll and the 2nd shot is steeply uphill. The green along with #9 is the most severe on the course and anything past the hole is very difficult. It is not uncommon to be near the green in two and walk away with a 6 or worse. The bunker on the side of the hill is to be avoided at all cost!
Hopefully at some point I will be able to complete the photo tour but wanted to share what I do have. The course plays to 6500 yards par 71, so its not long, but is great fun to play!
