Here's an excerpt from a photo thread on Old Hickory, a Wisconsin course half-designed by Bendelow (this hole is not one of the original Bendelows, but part of the course expansion in the 1960s):
No. 4 (510 yd par 5)
The shortest par 5 at Old Hickory may be the best par 5 on the course. The drive is uphill to a ridge line and a feature I’ve always enjoyed -- a reverse canted fairway. The fairway slopes significantly from left to right near the landing zone, and gently doglegs to the left. For the bold golfer, any tee shot short of the ridge will have a blind second into the green.
Those going for the green here may also have to contend with a unique feature of the course – walls built from glacial rock deposits. The newer section of the course was built on farmland; the land contained several glacial-rock walls, built to keep livestock within the farm property. (A still-in-use stone wall can be seen on a working farm that lies to the right of the 4th fairway.) The stone wall on the 4th pays something of an homage to the 13th hole – the Pit -- at the North Berwick links in Scotland.
A look back at the ridge line of the 4th fairway, and the rock wall fronting the green.
