The
shortest of Capital's five par 5s starts over a lake stocked with trout and
silver perch. The water carry is not long and can be avoided completely from
the forward tees. The flag is visible from the tee but the eye is drawn to
the fairway traps which appear to reflect the straight lines of the lake's
far bank and the blue Dandenong Ranges in the far distance. Although appearing
to cut across the line of play, the bunkers are actually staggered to give
a fair landing area and an opening for big hitters who feel like taking a
chance. More sand, left and right, awaits off-line approach shots and four
more traps around the green take the total of bunkers on the hole to eleven.
