Dang! My Aunt Billie (who never played a single game of golf in her whole life!) was a passionate watcher of the Golf Channel during the last few years of her life. Hope that she was able to watch the PGA West - and especially the action on this bunker - when she was with us. And I hope that she can still enjoy the PGA Tour wherever she resides...

Played this course several times while on winter vacation. So when I watch the pros on TV trying to navigate this hole and they end up at the bottom of this bunker, I usually end up laughing at them and say "been there, done that, took 3 strokes to get out, got an 8 and moved on!"

There's a bunker that's actually bigger than this at 'Le Diable' in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. The whole course is filled with these 'waste bunkers, which are hideous' but I think the massive incline is on hole 13. It's an elevated green by a minimum of 30 feet, pretty ridiculous

Maybe a PGA Championship in May could happen there. I don't think a US Open in June will. It gets too hot in the Coachella Valley in the summer.

@DanielSong39 3 года назад

@@rushrush1209 The course needs firm conditions to be at its best too, that way all the deep bunkers and the water come into play When the conditions are soft it's basically target golf and everyone shoots in the 60's. Not unlike Sawgrass in that aspect.

They are two different types of grass. The brown grass is dormant because it's winter. The green grass is a kind that does well in cool weather and is still growing.

@justinstephenson9360 3 года назад

This is nothing. There is a truly beautiful short par 3 (from memory maybe 110 yards) at Seahouses GC in Northumberland UK which is over a small sea inlet to a very small green on a little peninsula - at low tide there is a small beach at the bottom of the cliffs which used to be technically still in bounds (haven't played the course in decades so rules may have changed) and there was a sort of track going down to the beach, you only needed to be able to get the ball up 50 ft of cliff to get to the green! I believe it is a hole which regularly makes it into golf magazines lists of top 100 par 3s in the UK
