Finally...
Hole #10 -- Par 4
Cardinal: 440yds
Black: 404yds
White: 380yds
Blue: 343yds
In 1930: 425yds
The back nine starts about 100 yards from the clubhouse, although quite out of sight. Interestingly, I hadn't noticed until now that it's the second of five consecutive par-4's (9-13). Maybe the diversity throughout these holes prevents this stretch from becoming dull.
While not extremely long, the hole plays quite uphill. There are two fairway bunkers, although the one on the left has become obsolete for most players. The wide playing corridor is nice after the somewhat constrained feel of much of the front nine. As you can see from the aerials (
http://stanfordmensgolf.org/aerials/aerial10.htm ), these fairways used to be joined, with only the fairway bunker complex separating them.
View from the black tees:
The shared bunker complex (looking from #10 fairway to #11 fairway):
The second shot plays to a blind green, usually with a mid- to long-iron for me. This picture was taken from the right rough, just past the fairway bunker:
This is a dark picture, but it does show the two-tiered green. Again, the green has been rotated away from the line of play during remodels:
Looking back from the 11th tee:
What do you all think of this hole? I don't see a whole lot in it, but I could be missing something.
