As a kid growing up in Vermont, during my high school years my family had a membership at the Montpelier Elks Golf Club, a short nine-hole course with a handful of the holes either playing extremely uphill, downhill, or sidehill... and add in very small greens and high rough always made it fun and challenging. (My 85 year old father and my older brother still play their golf there.) The course was first open for play in 1902, and will be open for play again in 2016, but is in financial woes and unfortunately it seems its days are numbered, with the best bet for the future going to developers buying the land and building homes...
This painting posted here is a rough study I created depicting the uphill par 5, third hole as if it were circa 1917.
Great tip. I will keep this in mind. This might have saved me a lot of frustration had I known this beforehand. Thanks for sharing
