Bummer. I’ve only played S.O. once so I’m testing my memory. Isn’t hole #5 the one with the turnpike on the right of the fairway and the massive power transmission station past the green? That’s very poor planning to have to build a road through a golf course well after its completion. I’m guessing the road is needed for access to the power station, but who knows?

This seems very unusual to build a road across a finished golf course fairway. Where does it start and end?

Where does the road go to?

I think this is the fairway on #5.

From where to where???? I'll believe it when I see it. The substation, microwave tower, and maintenance area have roads to them already.

Looks like there is room behind the green.

Will enable a road rash and perhaps 20 extra yards.

Where did you get the information? I can’t find anything online about it. Except for your post.

Maybe we can hit the new road, bounce off the building and land on the green. Otherwise doesn't look like it would interfere with golf play.
