449 Yards Par 4
This Par 4 plays like a Par 5. A player’s two best shots are required to get to the green. The entire hole plays uphill with a fairway that gently curves from left to right and slopes to the right. Players need to be careful hitting a fade because any shot landing in the center or right side of the fairway will run down the slope into the rough or an unprepared native area to the right. Yet a shot on the left side of the fairway leaves a worse angle to an extremely elevated, sloping green. A cut shot over a rock area guarding the green short and left offers the best chance to reach the green in regulation. Miss short or left and the bounces off the rocks can be wild. Once on the green, the slope of the hole creates optical illusions that make it difficult to determine which way putts will break.
