The golf course starts right here.
I think the tee shot here is left side of the fairway with a left-to-right ball flight. You do have to be careful of the fairway bunkers on the right side of the fairway. They are reachable from the tee.
There is a definite left to right slope on the fairway. But, if you hit it too far left off the tee with a little draw, it'll run left off that shelved fairway and you're in really big trouble.
The second shot coming into this green is difficult. You've got a sand bunker on the left and water on the right.
This green is very, very deep. The day I played with Joe and John Inman (John Inman is UNC's men's golf coach. His brother Joe is a highly successful member of the Senior PGA Tour), Ross set the course up pretty good. He put the flagstick on this hole on the back left of the green. All four of us drove it out here in the middle of the fairway. Joe looks up at the green and says to me, "Johnny, is that pin on the green?"
There's not much room at all on the right side of the green. Plus, there's a trap between part of the green and the water that can't be seen from the fairway.
This is an eight or nine-thousand square foot green that is very deep from back to front. Depending on the position of the flagstick, you can have up to a three-club difference on this green. With a flagstick placement in the back-left corner of the green, from the center of the fairway it makes it appear that the flagstick is not on the gren.
This is a super golf hole.
