r 1 HOLE #3 The Third hole is relatively straight and plays somewhat longer than its’ actual yardage since the green is elevated approximately 1 5 feet on the approach. The large fairway bunker left is now partially located behind trees on the approach to the green. There are two greenside bunkers, one which has been constructed near the right half of the putting surface and another left, which is much too far fi’om the green to serve any useful strategic purpose. A new elevated back tee should be constructed which will add 1 2 or 1 3 yards to this hole. The fairway bunker left should be reshaped so as to fill-in the areas located behind the trees and push the back right edge of the bunker towards the green. This, along with the new back tee, will make the carry over this bunker 25 yards longer. The left greenside bunker should be rebuilt closer to the edge of the green. The right greenside bunker should be reconstructed with new sand and drainage. HOLE H4 The par three fourth plays slightly downhill into a green with a collage of bunkers situated around the putting surface. The tees have been constructed on top of a ridge and trees of various types separate the third and fourth fairways. While four green bunkers surround the green, it is the large fore-bunker 70 yards short of the putting surfece, which is most visible on the tee shot. Although this hole is visually beautiful, some adjustment of the bunkers, both left and right, should be accon:^>lished for strategic reasons. New (larger) back and forward tees should be constructed in order to accommodate players of varying skill levels. The massive fore-bunker should be reconstructed somewhat smaller for maintenance purposes. The two greenside bunkers right, which are much too fiir from the putting surface, should be replaced by one bunker built closer to the green edge. The left greenside bunker should also be reconstructed nearer the green. These changes will not only make this hole more visually appealing, but also more strategically interesting. HOLE #5 The Fifth is a dogleg left par four which slopes gently downhill from tee to green. This hole is lined with nice trees though drainage in the feirway on the last third of the hole is a problem. A lone fairway bunker left sits atop a small knoll. A small pond has been constructed behind the bunker left, but it is not visible from the tees. There are two greenside bunkers, one left 25 yards short of the green and one right near the putting surface. There is an opportunity to make the Fifth one of the nicest par fours anywhere. If the tees (back & middle) were moved back and to the left, it would be possible to add 30 yards (back tee) to this hole and elevate these tees about lO feet, which will provide a spectacular view of the fairway. A new much larger lake should be built on the left side
