Number 7 - Par 4 - HCP 7 - The prevailing northwesterly winds make this hole play longer than the stated yardage. A stand of pines guard the right side of the fairway and the rough is deep and gnarly on the left. This green is a Ross classic and hole location is key. The green is terraced severely from side to side which cuts the effective size of the green in half. When the flagstick is on the right the player must hit a target only 20 feet wide. Miss the target left and face a slick, hard-breaking downhilll putt. Bordering the right side of the green are two cavernous bunkers that sit 12’ below the surface of the green. When the flagstick is top left it is imperative not to pull your second shot as the ball will bounce cruelly left and only a few will get up and down from the steep slope left.
