This hole doesn't have any traps; but it doesn't need them. The tee shot can be worrisome because of out-of-bounds on the left, a natural area on the short right, and a lake on the long right. The key to scoring on this hole is to get a drive that avoids the problems mentioned in the previous sentence and is long enough for the player to be able to carry the second shot down a hill to a fairly level area in front of a creek that crosses the fairway. This favored position is 100 to 130 yards from the green. From this position, use about two clubs more than you think as the green is elevated. However, if you have left the ball on the down slope, 140 to 180 yards from the green, you are faced with a very difficult shot from a steeply down-hill lie. If the pin is down in front, it is difficult to get the approach shot close. Three putts with a forward pin are not uncommon. | | |    | |
