Number 2 - Par 4 - HCP 13 - The second hole is a little gem. . . a short par four in classic Donald Ross design. Mr. Ross placed his bunkers along existing ridges which gives his courses their natural scenic beauty. These steep, grass faced bunkers can catch an errant tee shot both right and left. In 2008 another large pot bunker was added to guard the left side of the fairway at 270 yards. A good tee shot leaves the player a short iron or wedge to a tiny, well-bunkered green. The most difficult pin placement is back right to small plateau that is sloped severely on all sides. An excellent birdie opportunity here, but be careful...out of bounds lurks just a short bounce away from the back edge of the green. In the 1995 Monroe Invitational Championship 17 year old Tiger Woods caught his wedge thin here and his ball kicked out of bounds. Tiger still managed to qualify for the then match play event eventually losing to Tom Creavy in the semi-finals.
