At 509 yards, this straight-away design invites aggressive players to challenge the green in two, while the compact putting surface demands surgical accuracy from any approach. The absence of major hazards creates a deceptively simple appearance, but the small green complex becomes the hole's primary defense, rejecting anything but the most committed shots.
