The McDonald/Raynor designed Links Golf Club had a Road Hole. Number 6 hole, a very reachable in two par 5 with yardage at 453/420/390. Attached is a cropped picture from another GCA post. The outline of the hole goes from left to right. This 1940 aerial shows the hole in its full glory.
Decades later the road on the left of the hole was not visible due to the planting of privet type hedge between the road and the rough. The 1974 cropped picture shown below, again from a GCA post, displays the hedge border. Note by 1974, the aerial shows the loss of play of the two sand bunkers to the left of the green. By this time, the bunker nearest the green to the left was overgrown with brush and pin oak trees. The outline of a deep pit was evident indicating an abandoned sand trap. The trap further back to the left was not evident at all.
As a caddie at the Links, from the mid 1960s to the early 1980's, this was a relatively easy par five for many of the players. Securing a par was highly probable as long as you kept your drive in the fairway or at least to the right. Short drives off the tee had players face a second shot that could catch three center sand traps about 70 yards from the green. The two deep sand traps to the right of the green collected errant shots. Playing out of those traps required a delicate touch to avoid a waste area beyond the green and eventually the abandoned overgrown sand trap pit. The green itself was challenging displaying a false front which was considerably sloped. The undulation back (toward the tees) required a delicate putting stroke to prevent the ball from rolling down into the fairway. Three putting this green was always a concern.
