Paul, what's the source for the pictures - an old club handbook?
Please could they be saved as a course profile? This is certainly my favourite thread.
If ever there is a case of keeping tree density thinner to open up vistas, this must be it.
The old 13th, just cries out to be played.
Also the old 12th, the spectacular "pebble beach 18th", with the open view of the lake from the tee. This is in contrast to the current hole with the trees and shrubs along the lake-shore, on the inside of the dogleg.
One can only speculate where this course would be in the "world rankings" if still in its original form, but surely much higher than its present position.
