337 yards – Par 4 – Stroke Index 14

A short but very deceptive par 4, this hole does not place too many pressures upon the drive although the fairway bunkers will catch anything pulled slightly left.

Jockie’s Burn, after which the hole is named, sits immediately in front of the green and awaits any approach shot that is under-hit.

Caddie’s Tip

“Be aware of water hazard at front of green. Pay particular attention to the pin placement on this hole.”
