The Biarritz continued

George Bahto,

# 13 at The Knoll is one of my favorite Biarritz's.

I've been playing it for over 50 years.

I do like the horseshoe/spine feature in the green.

The hole places a premium on the approach, recovery and putting and is as challenging today as it was many years ago.

It's held up nicely to the advances in distance.

On a windy site, such as The Creek, it has to be one of my favorites.

I'm slightly confused here. Since Chicago is generally regarded as the oldest 18 hole club in the US, wouldn't it be reasonable to conclude that their Biarritz is the first ? Or was this hole in it's current form redesigned by Raynor in the early 20's or later ?

Kirk,

You're not slightly confused.

You're overwhelmingly confused.

There were TWO Chicago Golf clubs, each with different dates of creation, unique beginnings and unique courses.

NOW, you should only be slightly confused.

I knew that. I'm now overwhelmingly embarassed
