The roll and tilt of Old Sandwich is only matched by the optimum sandy soil to give the course the perfect ingredients for a wonderful golf course. What Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw created with the stewardship of Andy Neher is one of the finest courses built in the last 75 years. The 7th hole is an up of the tee to a cresting hill and then down to a sloping fairway toward the green. T rusting your line off the tee is essential and ideally left center of the fairway will give you the speed slot and the shortest second shot. Over borrowing left puts you in native grasses and right misses find the tree line. The necessity to approach from fairway is seen with the fall offs on all sides of the green complex to magnificent bunkering that surrounds on all sides. A left miss into the green side bunker has you playing down to the green that is sloped naturally from left to right. The yardage is ideal for the shot required into the green which makes the 7th at Old Sandwich a wonderful representation of the entire course.
