All About the Greens - Hole #7 - Par 4 - 445 Yards - "Racetrack" Somerset Hills is built on the sight of an old racetrack, which cuts through the fairway of the 6th hole and must be carried off the tee on the 7th. The green has a massive right-to-left slope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637767422557-IML8YMF62YJSPTUUOZ5E/DSC03685.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637768101988-TA0ZH5482IDFKROAW2A9/DSC03691.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #8 - Par 3 - 205 Yards - "Dip" A relatively straightforward but lengthy par 3 starts to turn us back toward the clubhouse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637768361589-04E4P8LHF41GM5PLBF0L/DSC03701.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #9 - Par 5 - 514 Yards - "Westward Ho" The first dogleg left on the course has a demanding and somewhat blind tee shot. The fairway is bisected by some mounds that come into play on the second shot, and the green has plenty of complexity to keep the approach difficult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637768361061-KHMC9SBQ7DP5PBTWOE6Q/DSC03703.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637768356093-ZXXFYFIAQJKO2VXHBU3O/DSC03706.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637768357259-2775JQ9OW84A8UX3K7NQ/DSC03712.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637769034475-1TTDIZHS21D9ZVF2GNBR/DSC03718.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #10 - Par 5 - 485 Yards - "Sunningdale" An aggressive line can carry the bunkers down the right side off the tee, as Joe and I both did. With that type of start, the hole becomes very reachable, but a false front and cratered green provide some small justification that this hole remain a par 5. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637769035330-6OFNE0P12LGAPM55UKLZ/DSC03720.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637769719800-HK2XUWWUWI7O25QP25PT/DSC03732.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #11 - Par 4 - 388 Yards - "Perfection" Perfection is an apt name for my favorite hole on the course. Distance control off the tee is needed to ensure clearing the corner of the dogleg right without overshooting. The stream running down the right side comes across the fairway and feeds into the collection lake. Beyond that, the hole rises to an elevated green requiring 1-2 extra clubs into a slight breeze. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637769274741-7HQFBIVSIJBZPZCDS8EF/DSC03737.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637769719452-ZLUN7VD4QCPM97PA461X/DSC03761.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637770030136-57P78IGYOT9NPQG8IBWN/DSC03741.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #12 - Par 3 - 140 Yards - "Despair" A supremely fun par 3 that is short and beautiful, with a tempting pin baiting you to bring the water into play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637770197346-CQCNUB2K274RUN1875NY/DSC03746.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #13 - Par 4 - 391 Yards - "Corner" The star of this hole is the Biarritz green. Though not as long as some of the other Biarritz out there, the necessity of getting to the correct tier remains true. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637770192147-2PLAAGTP792S5KQ657X7/DSC03748.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637770192940-UU35NOU9CUDC2VH3VNZ0/DSC03749.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637770458615-HUD8SBLKZNLOAPMXIT98/DSC03754.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #14 - Par 4 - 366 Yards - "Ridge" One of the most diabolical greens on the course, the front right, back right, and left side of the green all move in different directions. The front pin position forced us to land well short of the green, roll past the hole, and then putt back up toward the hole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637770761210-WQX8KICMBRHN14Z0TH7Q/DSC03764.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #15 - Par 4 - 375 Yards - "Happy Valley" Anything less than a perfectly placed drive on the dogleg right has bogey written all over it.

In order to get close to the hole on the right, you have to land the ball on the middle-left of the green. Anything right is dead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637771728128-S4RGD0NDDRC36SI3BN9I/DSC03778.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #17 - Par 4 - 370 Yards - "Quarry" Similar, yet more dramatic than the 11th hole at Myopia that we played a few week prior, the 17th rises up over a blind ridge and then shoots downhill. All tee shots funnel to the right, but a good drive down the left side can leave a short pitch onto the green. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637771728192-4O0NL6YTNM7LH4HXDYJU/DSC03787.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637771734166-TNH0LCPQ8KXOUYV4URHL/DSC03726.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637772057316-4T7G6IW04DAJWVA35L40/DSC03794.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637772059310-IHIPHYUQIDGIMZX6G569/DSC03792.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens - Hole #18 - Par 4 - 321 Yards - "Thirsty Summit" The 18th hole shoots straight up a slope, and is a slightly underwhelming way to end a spectacular round, but the drinks awaiting in the clubhouse as the sun fell in the sky were an excellent close to a great round. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1637773259803-VP0WBX605PDS9V3T8IMH/IMG-6412.jpg Blog - #63 - Somerset Hills Country Club - All About the Greens https://www.thequest100.com/blog/myopiahuntclub monthly 0.5 2021-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634534134526-3HXRLNHU2WV98PW1S9O0/DSC03582.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634526473067-ZWHDRWD75ELPDF6WDKL6/DSC03436.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #1 - "First" - Par 4 - 276 Yards The uphill blind starter hole has a large tree to use as an aiming point. A good drive leaves a short approach, but the sloping right to left green makes for a tricky beginning of the round. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634526470766-KMU4HAVJ8DP5X2R1S9SS/DSC03444.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634526718071-BXN2GZI3MOXFDU7U38U8/DSC03446.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #2 - "Lookout" - Par 5 - 488 Yards The first of 2 half-par holes, this par 5 plays more like a 4.5. The elevated tee box opens up the expanse of the property, and the downhill drive makes the hole play shorter than the number on the card. A downhill slope to the green feeds balls down to the putting surface, yet the framing mounds make most approaches blind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634526713895-8ZAXOTFHKF7X1WO4SJYF/DSC03450.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634526700851-RRXV19V4AGRZS5DSFO6C/DSC03506.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634527037817-Y50LCV5B8O10Y4G6BR1D/DSC03454.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #3 - "Brae" - Par 3 - 252 Yards Similar to the 8th hole at Oakmont, this par 3 has the average golfer thinking about pulling driver just to reach the green. Playing as more of a par 3.5, the intimidating tee shot has you wishing you made the easy birdie on hole #2. This stretch of holes stands out as part of what makes Myopia such an fitting course for match play. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634527041688-V2H0TOYWZBO6ZDS59WET/DSC03459.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634527560667-41P3Y49WGCFLPM8ZCNBT/DSC03461.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #4 - "Miles River" - Par 4 - 385 Yards The sharp dogleg left is has the corner guarded by the hazard. The wide fairway leaves room to be gained based on how the aggressiveness of the line off the tee. The green slopes so severely right-to-left that, when the greens are running their fastest, a slightly overhit downhill putt can run all the way down the slope and into the water. Today, 2 of our group went pin hunting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634527548930-0YP8BVESW699FML7VTL1/DSC03468.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634527548774-NLZD7DGMD4FYQ0U6GQB5/DSC03472.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634528186750-YPHJ717HITFEDBOMDR4U/DSC03474.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #5 - "Lone Tree" - Par 4 - 417 Yards This longer par 4 is tricky when the pin placement is on the right side of the green. A long iron approach over the sever front-right bunker is less than ideal, but is essentially unavoidable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634528937673-EU11JGMGIWF3LOK970SH/DSC03492.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #6 - "Brook" - Par 4 - 255 Yards Playing only 3 yards longer than the par 3, 3rd hole, this par 4 is a spectacular shorty. Another hole that cements Myopia as a match play heaven, an eagle is just as likely as a double bogey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634529187270-4FBTW2FICM2625LAANIC/DSC03498.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #7 - "Myopia" - Par 4 - 401 Yards The namesake hole is fittingly blind up and over the hill. After reaching a plateau, the hole descends toward a large green. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634529185818-X9XRYQLSDQ2E9HCD2YSJ/DSC03500.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634529359970-F11GLSE8O9NZF6X2JJHZ/DSC03503.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #8 - "Prairie" - Par 5 - 473 Yards There is more than meets the eye to this par 5, where every shot needs to be positioned correctly to set up the next shot. The semi-blind drive needs to be on the left side of the fairway to have a view of the next shot. The approach needs to come from the left side as well because the elevated green slopes about as extremely as possible right-to-left as well as front to back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634529358843-K8IWXZSGJ1JZTPNHHTD1/DSC03513.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634530589495-V5GDIVS2IRZDWBBFGAUK/DSC03518.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #9 - "Pond" - Par 3 - 136 Yards This short hole has plenty of teeth to it, with a green only a few paces wide. Deep bunkers surround the green and they do not have pleasant lies. Stay confident in your wedge and hit it straight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634531528896-ZUHVLWG7PL1Q9WXKRDFV/DSC03532.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #10 - "Alps" - Par 4 - 404 Yards The back 9 starts with another blind drive. Danger lurks to the right, and the green is deceptively fronted by a cross bunker 40 yards short of the green. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634531524521-PS8MWR7H3ZT8X1T3RPT7/DSC03535.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634531515339-WZGY1KS63ZVPBZWRVJW9/DSC03537.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634531516924-SDRREA5R716TN7MXGHYF/DSC03541.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1634531964252-DOLMO8C19RQB6C7K61RO/DSC03544.jpg Blog - #76 - Myopia Hunt Club - Match Play Mecca - Hole #11 - "Road" - Par 4 - 349 Yards The fairway funnels every drive down to the right hand side, and anything that starts too far to the right can dangerously run into the bunkers.

The approach shot to the elevated green leads the way into the woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832813734-G3G4QTFDWMZXEHO4YFWE/DSC03164.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails Joe putting for birdie on the first hole.

There are multiple routes to take on the second shot that will leave you with different looks at the approach. Joe and Adam made pars while Taylor had a bogey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832808142-ZX09I3GPW1GD0WOIQ1F4/DSC03176.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832805351-AIIV6622GIEK9D3HIGVO/DSC03182.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #4 - Par 4 - 365 Yards This unique hole has a massive ridge running diagonally left to right down the fairway. If you fail to carry the ridge, your approach to the green is blind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832805978-QFDPBI2MZZA9ZP71OZ57/DSC03180.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832802276-ZYPLY0RJ9RJHI569NS7U/DSC03185.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832803046-LLYNSDOC28DW9T02SCEX/DSC03199.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #5 - Par 3 - 124 Yards The difficulty on the shortest par 3 on the course lies in the large slope in the middle of the green. The small green plays even smaller in reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832799522-GSSCEBROBMIBJ1X7K6FH/DSC03201.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #6 - Par 4 - 359 Yards A real first shot hole, avoid the bunker in the middle at all cost or you will be assured a bogey at best. Sure enough, Adam found the bunker and made a double bogey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626836734651-ZSVBZOXGQ21EOZYSN7HB/DSC03205.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #7 - Par 4 - 406 Yards The uphill par 4 is wonderfully situated to the right of a small pond that does not factor into play but is nice to see. It is one of the only pieces of property for miles not owned by Mike Keiser and the Bandon Resort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832799594-X9XJ7C3022SG9ZO3KMNQ/DSC03212.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #8 - Par 4 - 299 Yards One of Joe’s career best drives had us thinking albatross for a moment as his ball rolled onto the green in line with the hole. However, danger abounds when you go for it and are not as precise as Joe. Adam and Taylor both found the sand to the left, although Adam got up and down to match Joe’s eventual birdie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832796248-ZDQ1YQ5PJGKMAHNE40XS/DSC03219.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832796147-L4AK8BBTKKCM64DIT18M/DSC03230.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails Joe with an eagle putt. He could not convert the first ever Quest eagle but he did extend his lead on overall birdies over Adam and Taylor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832792215-10T87RZ0TQUE24RL828W/DSC03231.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #9 - Par 5 - 522 Yards A relatively flat par 5 with bunkers coming into play on every shot that can take you out of the hole. An opportunity to make a birdie than none of us took. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832791778-QZYA7MNHY8NUPAMFL479/DSC03235.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626832789192-RCRIDLVDNWX86R25KA5O/DSC03237.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626873942836-3IGLUYBTH77IXW1IS30H/DSC03240.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #10 - Par 4 - 393 Yards The back nine starts with a relatively easy par 4 that we all managed to bogey or worse. The subtle contours throughout keep the hole interesting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626873942785-7M9Z48I372XV2AP9HR2G/DSC03246.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #11 - Par 4 - 429 Yards Aim for the “hockey stick” shaped tree on this long par 4 that starts with a semi-blind tee shot up and over a hill that leads to a hole descending down and to the right. A pond comes into play on the approach right of the green. The back pin placement made this hole especially long on the day we played and all of us ended up with long lag putts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626873931381-RLXULII42UK2KHFW1XH9/DSC03248.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #12 - Par 3 - 235 Yards After Taylor hit a sweeping cut that had us on the edge of our seats as it faded back toward the hole but settled 20 feet long, Joe stepped up to the tee and hit a smooth hybrid to 18 inches for a tap in birdie! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626873933076-A4N78SO4Y6H6YJI134FI/DSC03253.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #13 - Par 4 - 374 Yards This par 4 falls away into the woods on the right side and a fairway bunker protects the left. Everyone made a bogey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626875623614-RTKR6TLK1WL7FHR8HEEA/DSC03256.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626875917928-LXBX9TAB0K62TU61D48B/DSC03263.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #14 - Par 4 - 306 Yards Adam’s favorite hole on the course (shoutout elevated tee boxes) has just a sliver of level fairway to target down the left side with everything else falling away to the right. The drive truly sets up the difficulty of the approach to this narrow green. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626875913886-2IGA5WLI3MJYU60BE6O7/DSC03264.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #15 - Par 4 - 367 Yards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626875912558-4T07DSH45VKLK6LKDNRA/DSC03267.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #16 - Par 5 - 494 Yards A fun uphill par 5 that doesn’t play too long. Avoid the bunkers along the way and there is an opportunity to score. The approach to the green is slightly blind as the hole climbs and the green has plenty of slope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626875908410-KVXNN8C4N29MLY9YMQ9H/DSC03273.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #16 - Par 3 - 159 Yards The false front of this green is so severe that anything short is rolling back to the collection area. A back pin placement took that out of play but the bunkers still gave Taylor fits on his way to a double bogey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626875905427-C29PO42DCORVEDG19QAJ/DSC03275.jpg Blog - #69 - Bandon Trails - Mixing It Up On The Trails - Hole #18 - Par 4 - 363 Yards With the snake bet (last person with a 3-putt pays out) on the line, Adam put his approach 30 feet past the hole with a slippery downhill putt ahead. He cozied one up to the hole for a tap in to stick Taylor with an expensive loss. In the excitement of Joe making his 5-footer for a two putt, Adam shook hands with his hat on, a major faux pas that cost him a few drinks on Bandon Preserve later that day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626987312753-6EYG2OE2897S5ALGMC14/Trails+Scorecard.jpg Blog -

#50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled - Bright and Early Joe and Taylor walk to the first tee at Old Mac with 54 holes ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626664198886-W3E1TZ8GABEKBZ4MYPLZ/DSC02843.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled - Hole #1 "Double-Plateau" - Par 4 - 301 Yards The first hole is short and a perfect way to ease into a long day. The angle of approach is key to this namesake double-plateau green. Joe and Adam both made unremarkable pars, while Taylor got a bit too familiar with a greenside bunker, starting the day with a triple bogey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626664193763-MU8JQZ3Y732QLV9HM2B8/DSC02859.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled - Hole #2 "Eden" - Par 3 - 162 Based of the 11th at St. Andrews. The far left pin placement feels like a sucker because missing too far left leaves a nasty chip back onto the green. Aiming for the middle of the green can leave a long, sloping putt. Joe took the aggressive line and was rewarded with a par. Adam took the more conservative approach but 3-putted from just off the green for bogey. Taylor’s woes continued. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626668159511-M0I637ZZ57UID6C7NMJU/DSC02863+%281%29.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled - Hole #3 "Sahara" - Par 4 - 345 Yards Featuring one of the most iconic trees in golf, the ghost tree guides players on the correct line of this completely blind hole. The bunker that creates blind shots for players who go right of the tree is a stroke of genius to make hole interesting beyond the iconic tree. Taylor finally rights the ship with a par to match Adam’s, while Joe’s shaky drive leaves him with his first bogey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626662815559-9ML2IDO3WE6GZZCA0GTA/DSC02880.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled - Hole #4 "Hog's Back" - Par 4 - 472 Yards In order to have a reasonable approach into this hole you must catch the downslope of the ridge running diagonally through the fairway. The hardest handicap hole plays long and difficult but Joe still managed a par. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626662814843-86EC3MXJHMHW75THUBU5/DSC02882.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled - Hole #5 "Short" - Par 3 - 134 Yards The large green is counterintuitive to most golf courses where the size of the green matches the length of the expected approach, but the “circus” undulations in the green make accuracy paramount on the 5th hole. Even the shortest hole on the course requires a great deal of thought. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626662812814-WSHQZ0U41F4OF5HYNRPP/DSC02887.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled - Hole #6 "Long" - Par 5 - 520 Yards The longest hole on the course didn’t play too long with the wind at our backs. All 3 of us handled the hole will, and Taylor rolled in a lengthy putt for birdie to best Joe and Adam’s pars. It would turn out to be the only birdie on the round for the entire group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626662806971-NMPH070NKPQJVRH7GEPI/DSC02888.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled The massive fairway bunkers are modelled after Hell bunker from the 14th hole at St. Andrews. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626662807378-EP5K5B1XPDYCX635HJR6/DSC02890.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626662802906-ROPAKDNCIED8ZBUXX777/DSC02897.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled Joe walks away disappointed after missing a birdie look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626663047558-7QVUL4PV5VFQ02QNGX5R/DSC02911.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled - Hole #7 "Ocean" - Par 4 - 345 Yards One of the few template holes at Old Mac not modelled after anything else. Length is not needed off the tee, but the approach requires nerves as it is blind and steeply uphill. The elevation in the approach is reminiscent of #15 at Bethpage Black. Despite the challenge, we all recorded a green in regulation, but 3-putts for Adam and Taylor resulted in bogeys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626663046677-8MZ2TZ28TW3IIHV2JNEU/DSC02920.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1626663283892-BFHSS82W6RA4EXA8G9Q3/DSC02924.jpg Blog - #50 - Old Macdonald - More Than a Good Walk Spoiled - Hole #9 "Cape" - Par 4 - 352 Yards Like any good dogleg hole, the more you challenge the corner, the better approach you will have to the green but the bigger the risk of disaster.

Needless to say, we all missed the green, and all ended up with bogeys. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1605126071459-N53G6GFRH66T4VIRN0M5/IMG_0414.jpg Blog - #73 - Essex County Club - A View Unchanged for 100 Years - Hole #5 - Par 5 - 458 Yards On this reachable par 5, if you dare take on the stream in front of the green you may be rewarded with an eagle opportunity.

It led to my undoing and my sole double bogey of the back nine. Hole 16 is a long come-back hole that requires a straight drive, followed by an approach that crosses an expansive waste area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1605126124290-7MLDCVYQ44ZE3941RTJZ/DSC02566.jpg Blog - #73 - Essex County Club - A View Unchanged for 100 Years - #16 Green with #17 Fairway behind https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1605126120976-DB0VFJ2XZSVWSO5P4NZL/DSC02569.jpg Blog - #73 - Essex County Club - A View Unchanged for 100 Years - Hole #17 - Par 4 - 327 Yards After back-to-back blind shot, we had the opportunity to look back at the old Donald Ross house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1605126104640-2AQ3WBNPJNY1TICY42N7/DSC02585.jpg Blog - #73 - Essex County Club - A View Unchanged for 100 Years - Hole #18 (also pictured at top) - Par 4 - 389 Yards The 18th green is no bargain to close out the most spectacular finishing hole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1605129365016-J0OT10M2YL8OXSV6R4KD/IMG_5557.jpg Blog - #73 - Essex County Club - A View Unchanged for 100 Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1605129367253-GELGBHVN3IRQL7OC8RV2/IMG_5676+%281%29.jpg Blog - #73 - Essex County Club - A View Unchanged for 100 Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1605129365219-F1SUQ31TG1E8EIXMKSFG/IMG_5559.jpg Blog - #73 - Essex County Club - A View Unchanged for 100 Years https://www.thequest100.com/blog/hudsonnational monthly 0.5 2020-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1604252736319-MGLEG5B7BHTX0AC4N66N/DSC02447-3.jpg Blog - #81 - Hudson National - Fall Golf At Its Finest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1604252886388-8GEDY2RN0GU2FKL9U8WE/DSC02184.jpg Blog - #81 - Hudson National - Fall Golf At Its Finest - Hole #1 - Par 4 - 460 Yards The first hole sets the tone for the difficulty of the course.

The drive requires a carry over the water, but it must head down the right side to avoid bringing the trees on the left side into play. Matt and I found the bunker on the right which is a major penalty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1604266285433-DWW5YEU7M39GJ56SIACI/DSC02265.jpg Blog - #81 - Hudson National - Fall Golf At Its Finest The second shot is blind, up and over the hill, making this into a 3 shot hole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1604266287858-XEIL3JCKZ5UNE1IZ2G9H/DSC02268.jpg Blog - #81 - Hudson National - Fall Golf At Its Finest The green is not too complicated, and you could have under 100 yards in on the approach.

I found this to be the most difficult hole at Oak Hill (full disclosure: I made a double bogey). For the best angle in, you must drive the ball down the right side of the fairway, bringing the creek into play. Bail out left, and you run the risk of getting caught in the trees, plus your approach is over 2 menacing greenside bunkers. Birdie is almost out of the question on this hole, as even big hitters are constrained by the creek. This is a contender for my Dream 18. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1602469053587-PZMO6M7A3C5PAQGSGK8K/DSC01945.jpg Blog - #22 - Oak Hill (East) - New York’s Hidden Gem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1602469043133-254MYJ7E3459TD0KS6XJ/DSC01951.jpg Blog - #22 - Oak Hill (East) - New York’s Hidden Gem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1602469025269-FQ65RWQSO07O2JRLBK8Y/DSC01957.jpg Blog - #22 - Oak Hill (East) - New York’s Hidden Gem - Hole #8 - Par 4 - 420 Yards A straightaway par 4.

The smart play is to work backwards to calculate what distance you want on your second shot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1602469931451-TG5JMA131NQR8PR6AZDF/DSC02033.jpg Blog - #22 - Oak Hill (East) - New York’s Hidden Gem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1602469924181-TR8M5LW38EA5REULGS47/DSC02038.jpg Blog - #22 - Oak Hill (East) - New York’s Hidden Gem A blind approach to a two-tiered green adds difficulty to a short hole.

A par or better is necessary here, but missing the green can leave you with a double or triple bogey. Joe and I both converted our pars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1602469914969-7JFZGEZBRZDXNDIJ0XV1/DSC02040.jpg Blog - #22 - Oak Hill (East) - New York’s Hidden Gem https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1602470334107-GEGM1OMGOAEQYDKPOLF6/DSC02047.jpg Blog - #22 - Oak Hill (East) - New York’s Hidden Gem - Hole #16 - Par 4 - 430 Yards The medium-long par 4 has is another straight away hole.

Risk/reward off the tee as a driver will leave you inside 100 yards to a tight green. An iron off the tee means you are probably aiming to the middle of the green on your approach, and looking for a par. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600470952264-WFNZ1H2TKS5ZRA1Z2X0L/DSC01569.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation After pulling my drive left, I had the ball below my feet in the ditch.

It switches back slightly from left to right, and then back to the left again. The strategically placed bunkers guarantee bogey if you find one, which is not the case on most par 5s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600489463711-H2IG90TVCCATBKR8S94G/DSC01705.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation After driving the ball into a right side bunker, then finding the ditch running down the left side, I was saddled with another double bogey. This hole really showed its teeth. Meanwhile, Joe striped his drive and needed 5 quality shots to make par. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600489486676-THCY0M5PMA2ESIBG92JI/DSC01709.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation - Hole #13 - Par 3 - 153 Yards The green of this par 3 is the real challenge. Sloping dramatically from back right to front left. The greens at Oakmont are so challenging that it actually led to the invention of the stimpmeter (the tool used to measure green speeds) following the 1935 U.S. Open at Oakmont. On this day, the greens were rolling around a 13, which the Oakmont members declared slow! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600489485465-EKDGQJX9UI2JRJ1JF9IU/DSC01713.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600489830429-2H1KFNV0V8IH56TRP6FR/DSC01723.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation - Hole #14 - Par 4 - 340 Yards For a short par 4, Joe and I took different paths to double bogey. I went up the left side, finding a fairway bunker, a greenside bunker, the SAME greenside bunker, and then a 2 putt. Joe took it down the right side, finding a fairway bunker, clipping the grass to find a second fairway bunker, and then a 3 putt. YIKES! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600489831624-3SV8BMPGFS5C7M7V0KU6/DSC01731.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600489895521-OH9HP7A6WK0W0OPF5JQB/DSC01738.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600490398335-Y6M1YBJ7JXB7FIPMT9QU/DSC01746.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation - Hole #15 - Par 4 - 434 Yards Much like the 9th hole, the swell at the beginning of the fairway hides some of the danger lurking beyond. The comb shaped bunker running down the left hand side spells trouble. Meanwhile, the fairway slopes from left to right, leading to a difficult approach for those who do find the short grass. After proclaiming the greatness of Merion’s closing 4 holes, Dave told us to sit back because Oakmont had something to say. #15 Oakmont > #15 Merion.

This seemingly drivable par 4 is dramatically uphill, with a field of bunkers between tee and green. The safe shot is right of the bunkers, but that means your approach will have no room for error due to a deep greenside bunker known as “Big Mouth.” I gave the slightest of edges to the long par 3 at Merion, but ask me again tomorrow and I might have changed my mind already. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600490752739-JCIM4TT6JQW91FSFAKJX/DSC01786.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600490743566-WM8RWEUW426M1PON8QAW/DSC01789.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600490736425-0GQBH7RWB47EESWWJC0E/DSC01790.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation No matter what you do off the tee, your approach will be to a sliver of green, protected by an abyss of a bunker. Finding it could mean double bogey or worse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600490737228-A7O4G9VJ8Y49ONW0K2K2/DSC01793.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation As promised, Joe found “Big Mouth” and made a double.

Any error here spells disaster, as shown by double bogeys for Dad and Joe. I escaped with a bogey only because of a miracle up and down from the right greenside rough. The 18th at Merion doesn’t measure up. Of the final 4 holes, 2 were better at Oakmont, and 2 were better at Merion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600490821784-VLI61H91G7NAIHNN6DYM/DSC01822.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600490821832-U5RD2EY3EU3Y5SF4JRTY/DSC01826.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600537660874-CQY0W2OTMAQOSDZP2YDG/IMG_5378.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600536284640-UK2YTPRDY4II3TWFHDWA/IMG_5318.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation - Oakmont boast a more impressive trophy case than anywhere else. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1600536281573-S7PQR3NK1GI6W33BCFAX/IMG_5321.jpg Blog - #5 - Oakmont - From Generation to Generation If you don’t know about Johnny Miller, read about his dominant performance in the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont, or watch it here.

From the pro tees, this hole plays over 200 yards, with endless options for pin placements that bring different trouble into play. Joe took the greenie by hitting it to 6 feet and making a birdie. I stuck to the middle of the green and made par.

You have to challenge the waste bunker to avoid having your line to the pin blocked by the trees. The length and elevated green also mean that missing the fairway is an almost certain bogey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1599189096581-Y3F12I5NRXA17SO38CH6/DSC01063.jpg Blog - #37 - Bethpage State Park (Black) - The People’s Country Club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1599189092910-NLURDQSF5FDH1VOJ8WG2/DSC01068.jpg Blog - #37 - Bethpage State Park (Black) - The People’s Country Club - Hole #6 - Par 4 - 386 Yards Big hitters can take on the right side bunker and send their drive bounding down the hill, leaving less than 100 yards in.

Golfers set up on the first tee dreaming of going low. Every par 3 brings the dream of the elusive hole-in-one. Even a bad approach shot can set up the dream of sinking a 30 foot putt. For The Quest, the dream is to play Golf Digest’s 100 Greatest Courses in the US. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef76f638903b016e67a9082/1599443456896-CP3MUNBK37Y3470T66VA/DSC01051+%282%29.jpg Our Mission - While golfers are dreamers, golf is reality. The low round you were dreaming of sails away as you hook that first tee shot into the woods. The hole-in-one becomes a distant memory as you duff the 6-iron on the par 3 into the water. That 30 foot putt that was tracking the whole way lips out. Yet, improbably, golfers continue to dream. What could explain this? Maybe it is the feeling you get when that putt does fall. Maybe it’s just great to be outside surrounded by natural beauty. Maybe it is the people you meet, the relationships you build, and the memories you create along the way. Or maybe golfers are just the right amount of crazy.
