Another good golf hole. From the back tee you must be a long hitter to carry all the fairway bunkers. Most players should aim between the first and second bunkers.
This is another hole where we have a variety of different tee boxes. The tee shot is a lot easier from the front tees, but it's still a challenge to the person playing the hole.
You've got a split fairway here for your second shot. You've got fairway to the right, sand bunkers in the middle of the fairway, then more fairway to the left.
You really notice the split fairway more when you're standing on the green looking back towards the tee.
It depends on where the flagstick is located as to which side of the fairway you come down.
The green is severely two-tiered. There's about a four foot difference in elevation between the two tiers. The only other green I've seen with this much difference in elevation was in St. Andrews, Scotland.
The best way to play the hole is to not get too greedy. Lay it up to either the left or right side, depending on the position of the flagstick, then pitch it up and make your four or five.
