Some really great bunkering has been lost since the 1940s, and there has clearly been a major tree addition.
A couple of notable missing bunkers:
Left of 1 bunkering short-left of green to create likely visual deception.
What it looks like today:
Very large diagonal bunkers over the carry hazard on two. Matt Mackay and I commented on how cool it would be to have those bunkers restored. The filled-in bunkers are still easily seen. Today:
All bunkering on 3 has been removed. It is 9i par-3 of little interest or intimidation now. I would love to see an old photo. Again, the old bunker shaping is still clearly seen, waiting to be restored.
The two lost fairway bunkers right of 5 fairway are now so far in the rough that I couldn't understand their purpose (and didn't bother taking a picture).
Bunkering on 10 has been dumbed down. Gulley on left looks like it was once a large bunker.
14 is still a great looking hole with clever bunkering. It looks like it is the most intact hole on the course.
15 is another very solid hole, one of my favourites on the course. Unfortunately, it is clear that several deceptive bunkers have been lost, though with less trees they have may have been used to protect against golfers trying to drive the green.
It is ver difficult to see the 2 or 20 17th in the aerial to see if the current grass bunkers were ever sand bunkers. Here is how it looks today:
And the approach to the 18th:
