This is the first of the many dynamic dunes holes, where looks can be deceiving.

Not only is the entire hole narrow, but each shot must be thought out for placement.

A good tee shot should carry the left fairway bunkers. Anything left of this group of four is into the woods; anything too far right is into a steep sand dune.

The second shot is between the kiawe trees on the left and a huge chasm to the right. The green will be tempting for the long hitters in two, but the face of the slope for the perched green is dominated by deep sod-revetted bunkers.

The pin placement may be deceiving, as the green surface is hidden from view, and a false tongue on the putting surface can be deceiving. An approach hit on this portion may roll down the slope and well back into the fairway. Once the green has been secured, the putting is relatively flat, allowing for a simple two-putt.
