agreed with Mick on difficulty of #3 and #16 green (I watched a guy lip out for birdie from 3' and have about 60' for his par in the Western one year). #18 green could also be tricky if fast and tee shot is into the wind. you could hit it hole high in the back and still spin it back almost into the barranca.
I used to play it when it was an interesting, tricky, 471 yard par 5. It had a very large tree just off-center to the right at the 375 yard mark and a considerable bunker to the left, making for some very interesting approach shots. They removed the tree, opened up the fairway, shrunk the bunker, shortened the hole and turned it into a long, playable par 4. About 458 from the tips and 440 from the men's tees. Genuinely don't know where the tee box would be at 505 yards. Women still play it as a 458 yard par 5.

We are now 50 strokes behind Pepperdine and in last place and still playing round 2. Hard to figure why we are so absolutely terrible. We must have played in the wind and this course before.
