. Plus the shape of that green is ridiculous to begin with.


7 is a drained swimming pool but I like it for some reason
Whoever keeps putting the pin behind the bunker on 2 can die in a fire. That slope coming off that bunker makes it impossible to stop a ball.

Not to go all nerd on ya, but I think 7 is a “template” green called a thumbprint. Some golden age architects used template holes on a lot of different courses. It’s a really fun green in my opinion. Here’s another example at Sleepy Hollow:



I think #2 is supposed to be a Redan green, but as Makes Sense said, it’s not shaped properly... the front right should be higher with more slope from right to left and away. The intent of the design of a redan was that you could land a ball on the front right and have it feed to a back left pin.

Proper Redan:
