Wow, what a travesty! Was there ever a course more artificially imposed on the land than this one? At least in Scotland?
This was (and is) a shocker. I have a certain regard for the progressively doglegging par 5 which presents something of a cape effect throughout but this is simply a case of water being overly imposed into a fairway. Take the water line back somewhat or replace it even with something more fitting and without being outstanding you could have a hole at least more in keeping with its place in the world.
