Par 3 – Green/142 yards White/154 yards Blue 164 yards Gold 164 yards
Description:
Named after the club's first repeat champion, Harvey Combe, this hole originally was played as a par-four with a blind tee shot over a ridge. Apparently Harvey's shots (using gutta-percha balls) were more likely than most to clear or 'carry' the hill. Now a deceptively simple-looking par-three featuring a deep green, this hole often punishes those taking it lightly. Members continually argue this is not the easiest or 18th handicap hole (as it is listed on the scorecard) – especially when the ball exits the shelter of the groves of trees and is buffeted by the strong cross winds.
Pro Tips:
Be prepared to contend with a significant left-to-right cross-wind as you play this uphill par 3. If your choice is a 7-iron to a front pin, it can be a 4-iron to the back. A shot drifting right and clearing the greenside bunker will kick down to the hole. Guard against being too far left or long.
