Brutal

From an elevated tee, golfers face a straight shot to a small, subtly contoured green nestled naturally into the rolling sandhills terrain. Without traditional hazards cluttering the landscape, the hole's difficulty lies in judging distance across the undulating prairie and finding the proper club selection in the often-present Nebraska wind. The intimate green demands precision, as missing the putting surface leaves challenging recovery shots from the native grasses. This hole perfectly captures Sand Hills' philosophy of golf in its purest form—where natural features create the challenge and every shot requires thoughtful consideration of conditions and pin position.
