This hole opens with a challenging uphill carry of nearly 200 yards just to reach the fairway and gain a view of the green. The tee shot is all about power — it’s a blind, uphill hit that requires full commitment. Once you’ve cleared the rise, the hole becomes far more manageable, leaving a wedge or short iron into a small, slightly uphill green that rewards accuracy. Find the fairway off the tee, and you’ll have a great opportunity to walk away with a solid score.
The tee shot here is one of the most physically and mentally demanding on the course. With no clear sight of the fairway and a steep climb in front of you, it’s a true test of trust in your swing. But once you’ve made the carry, the pressure eases — leaving a short approach to a receptive green. It’s a hole that rewards bravery early and control late.
