I know that hole well. Course #2 at Pinehurst, hole 6. The bunker for most mortals is a brute and will max out scores for many people. I have seen it.
Hole 5 has the same kind of green where a tad too much speed can send your ball off the green and down the hill and past the white tees for hole 4. I played with a 4 handicap player who did that.
