The Old par 3 6th Hole ci. 1960 that was eliminated in 1971.
More Changes to Jone's Design::
The tee to the original Jones 6th hole (par 3) is roughly 30-40' south of the present 6th tee. The green, "and a pretty one at that," was built out of the hill you see when you stand at the 6th tee and look south. After you played the hole you hiked a path up the hill completely covered by trees. It was a real hike up to the 7th tee. In 1965 the current paved path from the present 6th green to the 7th tee was cut through the hill which divides these two holes. According to Jim Johnson, both 6th greens were used alternately until about 1971, when the original 6th green of the Jones layout was finally phased out. It was an interesting and pretty par 3, with a creek bisecting the fairway. There are those who still feel the amphitheater appearance of this short hole was quite a loss. But this is really the story of most golf courses; they're dynamic and not static. There are very few that do not change over the years. After revamping by Robert Trent Jones in 1933-34, the Durand Eastman Golf Course had 10 holes on one side of Kings Highway and 8 on the other. This lasted until 1979 when a new fairway (par 3) was prepared paralleling the path from the 16th green to the 17th tee. A new 16th green was installed at the base of the trees where the paved path goes up
