A marvellous example of landscaping, this par 3 appears as wide as it is long. Best viewed from the championship markers, the scene is framed at the bottom by the rigid, straight lines of the forward tee hedges and above by the nearly straight, natural, line of the blue Dandenong foothills. Overcast days make the effect even more dramatic, with flat-bottomed cumulus clouds continuing the pattern of horizontal lines to infinity. Perfectly positioned in the middle is the broad sweep of mounds, bunkers and green seemingly shot in Cinemascope. The bunkering is awesome, twice the area of the narrow putting surface which has two tiers and is 35 paces deep. Up close, it is not so frightening, even into the wind. There is an opening front-left to run up a low shot and a 20 metre wide fringe behind the green.
