Golden Bell
Par 3, 155 Yards
Original Intent:
"Here the distance must be gauged very accurately, and the wind sweeping down along Rae's Creek is often deceptive to the player standing on the tee about to hit."
- Bobby Jones, in Sports Illustrated, April 6, 1959
Significant Change:
- None
DID IT WORK?
No change was necessary for this hole. This is the most terrifying shot on the golf course when the winds are swirling. A short approach will find Rae's Creek or the bunker in front of the green; a long approach could find one of the two bunkers in the rear.
