Palmer Course Featured Holes 9 and 18
On hole 9, the Hourglass requires an accurate tee shot between the bunkers. The approach shot is to a shallow steeply banked green. Water comes into play on both shots.
On hole 18, Home requires a straight well struck drive to avoid the fairway bunkers. The green slopes severely from back to front and is the toughest green on the course to read. One tip-stay below the hole on your approach.
Together, both share one large green which is rare on a golf course. There are 2 separate cups on the green but it extends across both holes.

Famous quotes containing the words palmer and/or holes:
“... the sentimentalist ... exclaims: “Would you have a woman step down from her pedestal in order to enter practical life?” Yes! A thousand times, yes! If we can really find, after a careful search, any women mounted upon pedestals, we should willingly ask them to step down in order that they may meet and help to uplift their sisters. Freedom and justice for all are infinitely more to be desired than pedestals for a few.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
