The fairway used to extend a long way to the left to the other side of the ridge with a central bunker set into the ridge Right fairway bunker Two small bunkers set into the ridgeline A short approach bunker “With the seventeenth we return to dogs’ legs and exciting terrain. This is a long two-shot hole with the fairway bending to the left after following the railway for more than half its length. There is a cunning ridge on the left hand side of the fairway, rather like a covered-over railway embankment and almost as high. From the top, one has an excellent view of the flag tucked away in a nest of hillocks and hollows, but from the base of the ridge one has a blind shot that is the more difficult because the ball has to be raised sharply. It is the sort of hole that is a 5 oftener than a 4, and for no reason that one can pin down.” 1947 Club History
