This long par 4 dogleg left is best played down the left side. The fairway bunker on the left is relatively short, good players will want to carry this bunker for the best 2nd shot angle. The fairway to the right is wide and inviting but offers a more difficult and longer 2nd shot.
The green will accept a left to right shot shape, but an approach from the right side of the fairway will play to a side-angle green protected by strong bunkering and mounding on the right side. The green and pot bunker are a modified reversed version of the “17th road hole” at St Andrews in Scotland.
