It wraps around large Lake Singleton to its right.

Players have to keep the drive left of the water, leaving a fairway wood or long iron to set up the third shot.

The closer you want to get to the green on the second shot, the more water you have to take on. Reaching the green in two requires a Herculean effort and has seldom been done.

The hole measures 545 yards from the blue tee, 520 from the white and 510 from the red. The approach shot to the green is slightly uphill, and the green has a back-left plateau, a steep downslope to its front right portion, and bunkers front right and back left.

Sports Illustrated named the hole one of The Best 18 Holes in America, Golf Digest has rated it as the fourth-best par-5 in America and among its best 18 holes in the country, and Golf Magazine has placed it on its list of the best 100 holes in America.
