Tee shots to the left shorten the hole but flirt with the trouble. Drives can't be hit to the left of a tree that resides on the far left side of the fairway around the landing area, which is above the green.

A relatively thick tree line, fairway bunkers, and a few out of bounds stakes away drives that bail out too far right. The fairway slopes below the green beyond the landing area.

From the right side, most player will have a mid- to long-iron approach that is slightly downhill. A two-tiered green that predominantly slopes from back right to front left has seven bunkers that protect all sides of it except the back left. The left side slopes down to the marsh.

It is the top handicap hole on a difficult course despite its modest length, which includes 391 yards from the gold tee, 366 from the silver, 304 from the senior gold and 259 from the red.
