387 Yards – Par 4 – Stroke Index 12

A hole which dog legs to the right and which has a two tiered green. If the pin is placed on the top tier it can add as much as 4 clubs to the approach shot. Longer hitters must be careful not to run out of fairway as a narrow ditch stretches the entire width of the fairway at around 280 yards.

Caddie’s Tip

“Do not be too aggressive from the tee as a drainage ditch awaits too long a drive.”
