BWR – the 5th and 8th

I’ve been doing the 5th and 8th holes at Blackwolf Run over the last 24 hours. The 5th is a par 4 with the green near the top of a hill on a ledge. A very tactical hole as the driver can be a risky play as you could run out of fairway.

The 8th is a par 5 with the tee boxes well above the fairway landing area. And the other end of the fairway near the green splits into lower and upper levels. The green isn’t huge and is raised up with a large bunker below to catch any inaccurate approach shots.

 

The hole on the left is the 5th, on the right is the 8th with the split fairway near the green. The hole at the top (middle) of the image is the par 3 13th, The other green and bunker just above and to the left of the 8th green is that of the 12th hole.

This part of the course is still unfinished with a largish pond to be added in the area between the 5th, 8th and 13th holes, and the cartpath needs extending to the left of the 13th. Much work has been put into contouring the surrounds of the various bunkers and immediate cut’s of rough adjacent to these holes to ensure the terrain looks natural.
