413 Yards – Par 4 – Stroke Index 6

The drive is paramount on this hole with out of bounds left, a ditch on the right and numerous fairway bunkers. Finding the fairway always comes as a welcome relief to any player but then a long difficult approach to a well-protected green awaits.

Caddie’s Tip

“A long drive on this narrow hole will be rewarded with a much simpler approach shot.”
