1A drive that flirts with the right side is rewarded with a better approach to the green, which angles away to the left. The greenside bunker to the left is one of the longest on th“When Ross did his field sketching,” Ron Prichard said, “and he took a couple of days to do it on site, he actually sketched every bunker.” Ross’s instructions here were 2In Ross’s time, fairways were more likely seventy-five yards wide rather than today’s thirty or forty. Such latitude suited a hole like this one, giving the player room to swin3A FINE SHORT HOLE that has been through many changes. Until the 1960s, the straight path to the green was unencumbered. Around 1970, two willows were planted, encroaching on the lea set of bunkers now pinch the left side, and a stream was brought into play on the right with the fairway running up to it.The plateau green is perched above deep bunkers at the front left and right; it is one of the few putting surfaces on the course where the ball must arrive through the air.4Until the 1950s, the far right side of this hole abutted Ferncliff, a public golf course. One player went out with a new caddy, hit the ball way right past the few trees that dividsaw a green in the distance, and played to it. He continued his round and ended up at the Ferncliff clubhouse, where they noticed he had no day pass on his bag.

It also features a false front, and bunkers left, right, and well “Ross didn’t generally stick a false front on holes where the putting surface is clearly visible from the fairway,” Prichard said. “His inclination was to put one on an uph6ROSS NEVER put a par number on a hole. He would not be concerned that long hitters can routinelyreach this green in two; this is one of the many “par four-and-a-half ” holes on the course, and the green provides all the defense anyone could ask for.7THIS UPHILL PAR THREE, the 2014 renovations brings the green back to Ross's original sketch.

With two bunkers and trees to the right and the boundary woods on the left, the shot looks much harder18very slight grading required to finish the surface on 2 levels.” Donald Ross wrote that. Of course, he couldn’t imagine modern green speeds or mowing heights.The final green, in all its severe glory, is the green Ross intended for the hole.
