Hole 10 gameplan

📖

Plan

A par 4 realigned left to create space and a clearer strategic bend. The cross bunker in the approach emphasizes a perched green whose useful target changes both side to side and front to back.

⛳

Tee shot

The fairway is not wide enough to ignore position, but the principal defense comes later. Choose a line that leaves the cross bunker visible and preserves a full approach window.

🎯

Approach

Do not mistake the restored cross bunker for the green edge. Carry it to the intended depth, with center green as the fallback from a compromised lie.

⛳

On the green

The perched surface separates left, right, front, and back locations. Use the aerial map and pin position to identify the plateau or feeding slope tied to the day's pin.

⚠️

Primary risks

A restored cross bunker sits in the approach below the perched green.
Additional greenside sand protects multiple edges of the target.
