At Raspberry Falls, Stay Away From "Player's Prison"
| “Player’s Prison” may sound like an awful place to end up on a golf course, and at Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club, it is. It’s one of the course’s pot bunkers. The hazards, which are signatures of Scottish courses, were added to enhance Raspberry Fall's links-style design, which also features dramatic rolling terrain, meandering streams, and spectacular scenery. |

A Gary Player Design, Raspberry Falls includes other treacherous pot bunkers such as No. 11's "Grant's Tomb," No. 13's "Motley's Revenge," the dreaded "Satan's Foxhole" on No. 14, and No. 16's "Myrtle Beach," a behemoth 30-foot wide bunker that forces players to find a way down the 12-foot deep hole. The only advice the pro shop will give dazed golfers encountering these bunkers is: "Sometimes you'll have to hit your ball backwards..." Not very encouraging. The good news is that the golf carts at Raspberry Falls all have GPS navigation systems, so no matter where you find yourself on the course, you'll always know how far you are from the hole. |
