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:
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
