This is my favorite par-five on the course.

The wide landing area may fool some; the tee shot is ideally hit to the left to avoid the trees in the center of the fairway on the second shot.

The two very deep sod-revetment bunkers at the base of the hill near the second landing area will beg the question - is it better to have a medium iron from a flat lie to an elevated green, or risk at least one extra shot with the bunkers and be left with an uphill lie with a short iron to a hidden green?

Either way, the golfer needs to be creative - the green is hidden and quite undulating. The lack of any sand around the green increases its difficulty as depth perception is needed here. A par on this completely natural hole is well deserved.
