Prairie Dunes Country Club #08 Hutchinson, Kansas

430 Yards Par 4
A dominant left to right wind requires accuracy with the tee shot on this imposing hole through the prairie. Almost every position in the fairway supplies an uneven stance, creating even more difficulty for a long second shot that must be placed in the proper section of a severely undulating green to have any chance of avoiding a three-putt, let alone making birdie. On the defensive from the first shot, the player must negotiate his way around or over the prairie surroundings boasting chest-high grasses or tangles of plum bushes. Any wayward shot is met with severe penalty including, deep bunkers, tall grass, prairie wind and sloping contours that create havoc throughout the hole. Imagination is often a necessity to avoid suffering a blow to one's psyche, and to avoid a round-killing score here.
