Given the very nature and distribution of the available land, the East Course differs considerably from the West Course. Holes are played in a single loop away from the clubhouse, across several roads and covering three separate allotments. Despite the obstacles and inferior terrain of the eastern property, Russell’s routing works surprisingly well with balanced nines, a great variety of holes and the same beautifully constructed bunker and green sites as the West. Sensibly, the long holes tackle the wind from each direction, while the only minor criticism of his arrangement is that all four wonderful par threes play to the north.
