Course Structure
The par for the course is 68, containing seven par 3s, eight par 4s and two par 5s. The longest hole on the course is the 13th, which is 547 yards long, measured from the competition white tees. The shortest hole is the par 3 third, which is 142 yards in length. After the fourth, the player must cross a relatively busy road to get to the remaining holes. Again, after the seventh hole the player must walk along a small path to get to the 8th tee, before returning to the other side to get to the 12th tee. The player crosses the initial busy road after the 16th, to get to the 17th tee.
The course contains relatively wide fairways, though flanked by trees on either side, and bunkers surrounding all of the greens. Three ponds are found on the course, two on the second and one on the fifteenth. The course is quite unique in the way it slopes, giving many holes blind tee shots and approach shots, though most of the holes are straight, with only a few dog-leg holes. Inaccurate drives are punished severely, as there are out of bounds not far off of the fairway on numerous holes.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
