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.

“We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“But Father John went up,
And Father John went down;
And he wore small holes in his shoes,
And he wore large holes in his gown.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
