Bells Used on Blind Holes

Periscopes would make a good topic for another thread.


I fear that all of these charming devices will soon be considered obsolete because we'll be tracking everyone on the course via their phones.

Better than a bell (although I agree the bell at Pete Dye GC is a good one) is the course in the UK that uses an old submarine periscope on the first tee. I'd love for my course to have one of those!

The club recently spent some cash to create a pro-shop incorporating the periscope...very well done.

The 11th at Lookout Mountain is an Alps and has a bell at the green (no photo).


At Whitinsville the terrain along the 5th fairway is just enough to create a blind shot.  The other side has a bell, with a warning!

My first encounter with bells was as a young golfer at Blueberry Hill GC in rural northwest PA, a true hidden gem IMO. Both the first and 18th holes have bells in the fairway, and a couple other holes easily could have them as well. Needless to say, very good topography for this course, which was done by James Harrison and Ferdinand Garbin. $17 for 18 holes, $22 all day...

Quite unique; De Pan hole 6 )Par 4) has two bells.


One for the tee shot which is blind (ring bell 3 times),  and one for the shot into the green which is blind (ring bell 1 time)
