Though it’s not very long, this is a testing hole that calls for an accurate tee shot and an accurate approach. Most players will hit a fairway wood, hybrid or long iron off the tee, and they must find the fairway or they’ll end up in sand (left) or in the rough with a hanging lie off a bank (right).

You don’t want either of those when you see your approach to the green, which is guarded by a sleepered pond around the front and down the left side. If they hit the fairway, most players will only have a wedge into the two-tier green. There are plenty of slopes, and some feed into regular pin positions. This hole is all about hitting the fairway off the tee…
