7th Hole:

|
The seventh hole,
ranked the #1 handicap hole on the course, is a long 444 yard (from the
back tees) Par 4, and a still-challenging 403 yard Par 5 (for super
seniors and ladies). The hole doglegs sharply left, with trees and a
creek on the left side, leading to a former beaver pond at the corner.
The tee shot hit straight away into an uphill landing area leaves an
approach of close to 200 yards, to a green almost fully guarded by a
bunker in front. |
 |
The right side front, however, is open - allowing
well-aimed balls to be "chased" onto the green on that side, and the green
has a large slope from right to left to funnel balls back toward the
center of the green. The approach is also flanked on the left by a steep
slope leading to the large lake,
and
missing the green left, at best, leaves a very challenging blind pitch shot
up the hill to the green. The right side is guarded by a treeline
the entire way to the green, and missing the green to the right leaves a tough
downhill chip shot back toward the lake. |
