| Description: |
| Devereaux Emmett - 1921.
Tee moved in 1965.
This is a very reachable par five but you may want to exercise some course management to get your birdie. A long accurate drive and long iron can get you to the green, but both shots must be very well positioned. The landing zone at 240 is only 17 yards wide with trees and out of bounds close at hand, and the well guarded green is firm and angles awkwardly around the left front bunker. Players considering placing their ball short of trouble off the tee face a fairway bunker 70 yards short of the green. The green angles from right front to back left and pitches from back to front. |

| How to Play It: |
| Power or finesse, you choose the strategy. A 230-240 yard carry over the right fairway bunker will leave a mid to long iron to the green. The drive must be pin point and the second must have height to hold the green. The finesse player will play away from the boundary and stay short of the left fairway bunker at 240 off the tee. The next should be a lay up short of the fairway bunker at 70 yards short of the green. Favor the right side on your second as this will avoid an awkward pitch over the left greenside bunker. Power players often have to make their birdie from a greenside bunker, where the finesse player will rely on his 80-100 wedge to get close. The green is subtle and tends not to break as much as you think. |
