18th at Seminole, an observation New
« on: May 09, 2021, 01:07:47 PM »
I have never played Seminole but once played Dornoch with a member.  He observed that the 6th green reminded him a lot of the 18th at Seminole.


I noticed that the tee shot at 18 at Seminole looks a lot like the tee shot at 3 at Dornoch.  Trouble left, at least the further left you go,  a fairway that tilts left to right, and a series of bunkers that line the right side.  I would assume there is more left to right fairway slope at Dornoch.


Since I have not played it, are these legit observations?

I have played both but just don't see the similarity. The terrain is very different.

I noticed the driving range was in play on wayward slices and right of the green when balls rolled off. I have never seen a range that wasn't OB or fenced. Are there other examples of in play driving ranges with no OB on classic courses? Was this done just for the Walker Cup? ???

Re: driving ranges in play, remember Jordan Spieth blocking his tee shot into the range at Royal Birkdale in 2017?

The range at CPC is in play for unaccompanied guests early in morning. I know because my tee shot was there.
