The worst feature I've ever seen has some similarities to this hole.
I played for 4 years at the New Mexico State University golf course and they (not sure who exactly, the super at the time I think played a role) decided to turn greenside bunkers on two of their par 3's, #8, #14, into water hazards.
Seriously, 500ft2 water hazards.
The NMSU course was once a great course, it hosted the 68 NCAA championship and Trevino used to play there quite often when he was around El Paso.
