Hole 6: Par 4, 427 Yards
A mid-length par-4 that plays very long, uphill the whole way and played toward land that tilts back to the tee.
Perhaps my favourite kind of dogleg hole -- one that provides a trade-off between playing toward the inside of the dogleg.
From the left side of the fairway the approach is shorter but the front of the green is hidden from view, behind a bunker 50 yards short of the green...
while playing to the outside of the dogleg leaves a longer approach, but one that leaves a clearer view and an option to run the ball onto the green...
Another green with the unique perimeter contouring...
Hole 7: Par 4, 470 Yards
In its current form, the 7th is one of the great long par-4s I have ever played. That being said, it is clear that what is on the ground today (well, at least the first half of the hole) is not as it was originally designed by Mr. Flynn.
The 7th is routed over absolutely ideal golfing terrain. While the land tilts to the right for the first 200 yards, over the crest of the hill it slopes noticeably from left-to-right. An unsuspecting golfer, unaware of the change in terrain, could hit a tee down the left side of the fairway only to find their ball completely out-of-position and in the rough to the left. The ideal line is protected by the large bunkers on the right (though at 270 to reach from the middle tees, even downhill, they are out-of-range for many golfers).
The ideal approach is from the right side of the fairway near the fairway bunkering.
Approaches from the left must be played over this visually deceptive bunker 50 yards short of the green.
Lots of room over the left fairway bunker...
Another punchbowl green at the 7th...
