Plainfield Holes 7-12
.
 
Hole Seven Par 4
 
471/457/390/327
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note the large trees on the left overhanging the fairway bunker complex on the left.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A fresher, cleaner width greets the player now with greater ability to play strategically.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The green complex appears to be hidden from view by the bunkers set into the ridge.
 
.
 
.
.
 
 
Just past the crest where the pink flowering tree is located starts the fairway short of the green.
 
 
 
 
 
The World-Class seventh green complex with the fairway just over the bunkers feeding the green racing downhill away from the line of play.

The fairway is elevated above the fairway and the shot is uphill to the very severe tenth green....
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ten green is right next to eleven tee.

Hole Eleven Par 3 Punchbowl
 
148/139/135/129
 
 
 
.
Old and new looks
 
.
 
.
Proximity of ten green (POR), nine tee (R) and eleven green, twelve tee (L) in the distance.
 
.
Again the intimacy is apparent with twelve tee just off the eleventh green (behind). View from ninth tee of eleven green with its rather severe false front where anything short finds the front bunker.

Hole Twelve Par 5
 
588/555/545/512
 
 
 
.
 
 
.
Two comparable sets of views showing elimination of claustrophobia, restoration of angles and the heroic recovery shot that Donald Ross so revered.

What inspiring land!
