Steve, Thank You! Keeping it going! Steve

Hole # 5 @ Samuel's Crossing is a short 410 yard par 4. Your tee shot must carry the pond and the long hitters can gamble for a shorter approach. Bunkers line the fairway on the left side of the landing area so a degree of accuracy is necessary. The short approach must carry the bunker fronting the left side of the green and of course you must avoid the water on the right. The putting surface can be tricky so the closer to the pin the better. Five is definitely a scoring hole!
Included is a view from the tee showing the green from Hole #4 on the left. The short approach and an aerial of the green.

Stunning Steve. I'm going to enjoy putting on those greens. Where do you continue to get such interesting backgrounds?

Cheers

Thanks Brad. On the backgrounds I search, clip, paste and mold together. It's difficult to get the proper perspective on the BG's. I find that to be perhaps the most difficult process of designing a course but once completed then matching textures and objects becomes a whole new battle! LOL

Hole #6 at Samuel's Crossing is a 446 yard par 4. The tee shot must avoid the water on the left and a huge bunker on the right but most shots will find the fairway. Your approach off an uneven fairway must carry 18 feet uphill to a very tricky green where long putts will be very difficult. Par here is excellent!
Here are a few shots off the tee, the uphill approach an aerial from behind the green and a close up of the undulating putting surface.

Hole #7 at Samuel's Crossing is a 158 yard elevated par 3. Anything left of the green will spell trouble and the key to scoring here is to properly calculate the heighth and distance off the tee.
