The fairway narrows down in the landing area because of a large tree on the left. The tree is referred to as "Louie's tree" after one of the founders who apparently had an affinity toward the tree. The fairway doglegs slightly left around the tree and slopes to the right. Long drivers sometimes try to carry the tree and if the shot is pushed slightly, the ball can kick down in the woods and, if far enough, into a creek. The approach shot from a good drive in the fairway is slightly downhill over a large swale and to a smallish green severely sloped from back to front and left to right. The green is trapped left rear and right-side. There is also a small pot bunker at the right front corner of the green. If the pin is right front, it is protected by the pot bunker. If the pin is in almost any other location, putting is a problem. Scores can range from birdie to double digits on this hole. | | |    | |
