George, that is what I figured. Did Raynor always include this hazard as well? It seems like is there is a stream or creek or ravine on the property, there is a pretty good chance that they will have used in on their Eden concept.
Wherever possible, the feature was included - lots of variations
What was wrong with the Biarritz at Sleepy Hollow? I am not sure what I am even looking at in that photo, but it looks like instead of a swale there is just a plateau green set well above the terrain in front. Or is the swale out of site? If so is the swale before the rise in the ground up to the green
Itz very short - just about 200-yds (the tee is jammed against the previous green, so impossible to length the hole) -
itz down hill you cannot really"see" the front the front section (the area normally before the swale) so consequently, we did not include side bunkering in that area
there is no swale to speak of and really not much of a reason to introduce one, given the present configuration of the hole
also it was determined, money would better be spent on other areas of the course
hardly any way to really improve the hole
