re: What is Fennwood Hills in Zachary like?

Yea. I've never played it as internal OB but that would make a lot of sense. Going down 2 takes the road and trap out of play. The green opens that direction. It's a 70 yard wedge shot over a tree that isn't in play. Do it once or twice to get a feel for the line and you'll never play it down 8 again.

Back in the day the tree lined were substantial, but it ended on 8 just past that big fairway trap. A big power fade even back then would get you safely on grass, not under the trees and with a good angle to the green. But they didn’t want you cutting it too much and playing from the 2 fairway; thus the interior OB.

8 was a tight fairway as it ran towards the street. The OB right kept it tight.

FWIW, way back when that hole was originally constructed it was a tad longer. College was two lanes. The tee was a little farther back. It was a short four still, but high risk/high reward with a driver.
