| Description: |
| Donald Ross - 1955 from a 1946 plan.
This is another reachable 5-par with the same narrowing entrance to the green as the other fives. The driving zone is wide with an upper tier on the left side and a lower level down the right side. Dead center often brings a slight hanging lie. The second shot goes into a tilted funnel of narrowing fairway guarded by bunkers on the high left side. The kidney shaped green is also tilted left to right and is among the most challenging on the course. |
|
| How to Play It: |
| Hug the left side for longest drive possible, but the toughest entrance into the green. Or, play it down the right side for the best look at the hole and a little more room to maneuver your second through the narrow approach. Shorter hitters who can’t get home should lay up to the 80-90 yard mark to avoid the bunkers and to ensure a level lie for their third. The green is severely tilted from left to right so borrow a fair amount on your shot into the green so the shot will release down just below the hole. Do not leave it too high and do not hit it over the green or you will be in for a real adventure. |
