With
a dozen bunkers visible from the tee, this demanding par 4 is rated the toughest
hole on the course. It starts amid garden beds, plays over the terraced forward
tees and skirts the lake on the right to a tight landing area. The pot bunker
in the middle of the fairway, 105 metres from the green, is out of range to
all but the longest hitters but small bunkers left and right about 230 metres
from the back tee put a big premium on accuracy. A good drive is half the
battle. The other half is carrying the bunkers encircling the front half of
the green. A small gap at the front allows the ball to be run up from the
left side of the fairway but usually the hole is cut behind one of the bunkers
with the bottom half of the flagstick obscured by the lip.
