459 Yards – Par 4 – Stroke Index 7
As hard a par 4 as can be found anywhere in golf, this hole requires a long and accurate drive and then a powerful approach to the very well protected green. Into the wind the majority of golfers will not be able to get home in 2 and if a lay up is required it must be kept well away from the bunkers some 25 yards short of the green as getting out of these in one stroke is extremely difficult.
Caddie’s Tip
“Most exacting par four on the course. What is required is a drawn drive followed by a faded approach, but for the majority playing this hole for a bogey is not a bad idea.”
