446 Yards – Par 4 – Stroke Index 3
The start of the back 9 and perhaps the most challenging 9 holes in golf await the player who stands on this tee.
In order to reach the green in 2 a long and straight drive is required with particular care required to avoid 3 bunkers on the right hand side. Once the player has found the fairway, a decision is then required as to whether the Barry Burn which runs some 40 yards in front of the green can be carried with a 2nd shot or not. Unless the player is confident of his ability to fly the ball all the way onto the putting surface, it is often best to lay up and accept a 5, which is never a bad score on this hole.
Caddie’s Tip
“Avoiding the three right hand bunkers is essential if you hope to reach this green in regulation.”
