Power Lines Affecting Play?

Buck Point in Liberty, IN has a couple of holes wear power lines come into play. Pictures below are 2 and 11. 2 is not nearly as much in the way as 11 is. It's a shame, because I think both are pretty good holes, but whose tee shots are obviously affected by power lines.

2

11

Jeff, Riverbend Country Club in Sugar Land TX, (recently renovated by Jeffrey Blume) has a massive set of high voltage overhead lines running smack through the middle of the course. It appears that the routing was re-worked after (or during) the installation of the lines about 20-30 years ago.

The lines are now above the back 1/3 of a few greens and most likely out of play for all but the long approach or flopshot recovery from the long approach. The lines also run directly overhead some of the back tees.

But all in all, they did a decent job of rerouting the course around the lines. However, there are many approach shots with massive power lines in direct view directly behind the green you are hitting to. Disconcerting? Yes. Actually in play? Not really.

Wow, I can't even remember them being at Riverbend. Either they did a good job keeping them out of play or my memory sucks.
