This hole used to be 11. The past few years it has been the 14th. Incidentally, this is the course that John Mallinger grew up playing. Mark Wiebe and John Ashworth also could call this their home courses at times.

Looks to me like a bad hole is trying to ruin the view of another ugly housing development.

This hole is the result of the real estate dictating design. The current owners of Meadowlake successfully changed a few holes because they were able to obtain subdivision rights and the now we have a wonderful boxlike home ruining a potential skyline green. This course was built on the cheap by RTJ while he was building his Pauma Valley masterpiece only 5 miles away(15 by car!).

Are you sure about RTJ, Robert? I have never seen his name in relation to this course. This course was built in 1965 by Tom Sanderson. Was he a design associate of RTJ's?

Just to get a sensee of what I'm talking about re: Cruden Bay, this is the 15th, a par 3 of similar length:

Thanks for the memories!!!! There is a path of some sort to the right of the green, and a log running along side the path. I bounced a 2 iron off of the log and had a kick in birdie. At least I think that is how it got there!!!!
