In the stuy of this sketch it must be borne in mind that Mr. Rainey desired a course only for the exclusive use of himself and a small coterie of friends. Consequently, there was no objection to crossing the lines of play, which would be unheard of in planning regularly.

The two greens at one end of the tract were half created by nature, but the lone green in the middle of the meadow land is entirely artificial, yet built on such bold and rugged lines as to appear quite natural.

In these six acres every club in the bag is called into play. The problem of making three greens serve for six holes was solved, although in each instance strokes of varying types find a green from different directions.
