The drive must be kept left to avoid a big tree on the right. However, there is a trap on the left which is both good and bad. You don't have much of a shot out of the trap but it stops many balls from going down a steep slope from which you have no shot. Long hitters may use a long iron or fairway wood to keep the drive from going down a steep bluff into a creek. Some venturesome very long hitters may try to drive over the bluff and creek into a flat fairway 50 to 90 yards from the green leaving a pitch to the elevated green. Miss to the left is woods and to the right is a creek. The approach shot from the fairway at the top of the hill is from 140 yards up across this broad valley to the elevated green with a very deep trap in the right front. Trouble abounds left, right, and over. Short shots leave a difficult pitch to the green. The green is two-level with the left front being accessible but difficult to hold. A right-rear pin position often results in three putts or approach shots in the deep trap in front. For men, a very difficult #6 handicap hole to say the least. Ladies play the hole as #12 handicap as a par 5 at only 328 yards. | | |   | |
