Holes 13, 14, and 15 skirt the lake.
HOLE 13 (original 9th), 532 yards, par 5:
Here we see Mr. Cahill's smooth follow-through. The 13th bends left, with the marsh bordering the entire hole.
The approach, seen from about 200 yards out.
Another greensite that probably bears little resemblance to its original form.
HOLE 14 (original 10th), 365 yards, par 4:
This is one hole which is actually narrower than the picture would suggest. The marsh is a definite threat on the left. A long tee shot past the trees on the right is a bailout option, but leaves a poor angle into the green. The trees are also big enough to knock down a wayward shot. My tee shot caught one of the trees, and we never found the ball.
Oh dear, Mr. Kiser has done us the favor of demonstrating that the bunker 60 yards short of the green can still serve as a hazard.
Unlike many bunkers, this greenside trap can protect a hole location.
HOLE 15 (original 11th), 131 yards, par 3:
Here is a shot of the 15th tee. The long reeds in the back right of the picture serve as a visual obstacle for the tee shot on this short hole. I assume because of environmental considerations, they cannot be trimmed. The result is that the player is faced with a wall of reeds when hitting his tee shot, and cannot see the flag (or anything else). I'm a tree-hugger as far as this board goes, but it would be nice to find a way to see the green. Three of our four shots wound up close to the hole though. Maybe blind is the way to play the game.
Here is the only shot of the green that I took. That bunker would love to be enlarged.
