Hole 15 – Par 4
“Snuffy’s Hole.” This hole is dedicated to the memory of Snuffy Bunting; whose inspiration and creativity is forever captured here. A blind driving hole – Snuf had a dry sense of humor. Try not to thank Snuffy before putting this nightmare, otherwise, a few choice words may be on your lips before walking off the green.
