The Hole Story Vol. 16, Issue 1 | Page 6

MAKRAY MEMORIAL GOLF CLUB COURSE OVERVIEW HOLE ONE PAR 4 The first hole starts from a spectacular elevated teeing area. The tee shot must fit between two large trees to an uphill, wide fairway. The second shot is uphill to a large double-green with an intimidating greenside bunker to the right. Playing this par 4 into the prevailing wind and uphill makes it a great starting hole. ISJA Day 1: ISJA Day 2: ISJA Day 3: HOLE TWO PAR 4 The second hole is a downhill par 4 sweeping dogleg to the left through a grove of mature oak trees. A small creek and a bunker to the right guard the green. Playing downhill and into the prevailing wind is a trade-off on this hole. ISJA Day 1: ISJA Day 2: ISJA Day 3: HOLE THREE PAR 4 This Par 4 is located at the west boundary of the course. Tee shots are from a high bank over a wetland area that extends the entire length of the hole. The approach shot is over a creek to a small green tucked into oak trees with bunkers both right and left. A short hole, but accuracy is needed. ISJA Day 1: ISJA Day 2: ISJA Day 3: HOLE FOUR PAR 3 The Par 3 fourth can be considered the course’s signature hole because of its view. This hole plays downhill to a narrow lengthy green. A pond parallels the green to the right and oak trees frame the green on the left.
