#8 Punchbowl Par 3 at The Everglades Club
« on: June 19, 2014, 09:15:00 AM »
I was wondering if anyone had any photos of any of the holes at The Everglades Club. In particular, I was looking for a picture of #8, their unique punchbowl par 3.  I pulled the oldest aerial I could find (1958) and it looks like Silva only made some minor changes to #8 (and who knows what changes had been between 1919 and 1958). Thanks in advance if anyone has played it or has a picture.

Would like to see any photos of the Everglades Club.

But doesn't Westhampton have a punchbowl par-3?

I took some photos back in 2003 when I played Everglades. They are back in NC and I will try to find and scan them next time I go home.
Very intriguing...you cannot, as I recall, see much of the green surface on #8 from the tee...which is quite unusual for such a short hole in general and any Raynor par 3 I've ever played...are there any other examples of Par 3 Punchbowls??

I have not seen the 1958 aerial...but a 1984 aerial that I stumbled across suggests to me that the course (and even the routng in places) has changed somewhat. The redan plays over water now but I couldn't find any water near that location in the '84 photo.
The Biarritz has to be the shortest on record...with the smallest green as well. The first hole would appear to have been lengthened considerably.

The course was a real joy to play...lots of neat looks and very quirky in places...mostly due to the tiny acreage I'm guessing.

No one on here ever talks about Everglades and I've never been able to drum up any interest in a discussion, perhaps because so few people have played it. Raynor is well known to have worked almost exclusively with the social and business elite...but of all his designs Everglades might be the one that is most seldom-seen by anyone that cares.

I have never seen an old aerial, and have never seen the original topo map...but would be interested to lnow if Everglades is a faithful restoration or a Silva re-interpretation of Raynor's work...
