La Cumbre 2nd Hole Photos

The second hole is an uphill par-4 with a big false front green. The rear bunkers were washing out too easily and were clearly built to be visible from the fairway. Unfortunately this created maintenance issues and up close, they were totally out of scale. So we tried to keep flashes of sand that the golfer would see from the fairway, while reducing the possibility of washouts and giving us a chance to inject some more intricate shapes.
