This par 3 on the furthest reaches of my favorite North Shore muni is just a solid hole. This view is from the back tee (like the average player does here, I play the back tees because they are sub-6,500 yards).
The back is tee is situated right on the banks of the meandering pond. The pond adds to the aesthetic, but does not really come into play as long as you get the ball airborne. The green is slightly raised and framed by a sold wall of hardwoods. A bunker catches anything short and right. Just whip out a long iron or hybrid and swing away.
