The plan for No. 6

A par 4 and stroke index 13. A near right-angled Cape dogleg over a sand carry (Top 100), and the championship tee restores the full value of that heroic design (Golf Digest).

Off the tee

The safe play is out to the left; the direct route over the corner to the right asks for a much longer carry (1962 Shell's broadcast).

Approach & recovery

Two bunkers right guard the front of the green. The approach plays to a target 33 yards deep.

On the green

The surface runs 33 yards from front to back. It is flanked by two bunkers right. Read the published contour panel for slope; this release records no hole location.

Watch for

  • Three bunkers left
  • Five bunkers right

Research notes

  • 1962 broadcast: on the 6th the safe play is out to the left; the direct route to the right needed a 225-yard carry from the tees of the day. (00:19:42)[1]
  • The 6th is close to a right-angled dogleg offering a sand carry of anywhere from 140 to 275 yards.[2]
  • The championship tee on the 6th restores the full value of its heroic Cape design. — Jerry Tarde (narration) (00:04:56)[3]
  • A 12-handicap guest: every drive has a forced carry and the landing area is rarely visible, but a roughly 230-yard driver carried them all from the men's tees and found generous fairways beyond. (playing the course)[4]
  • About half the approaches need a carry, and anything short is punished; laying up on the par 4s and going in with a wedge is no disgrace. (playing the course)[4]
  • Eight of the 10 short-course holes replicate approach shots on the main course (2, 3, 10, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18), with the same elevation change and direction. (short course)[4]
  • Greens can reach 12 to 13 on the Stimpmeter at tournament time, and the aim of a putt may be 90 degrees from the straight line to the hole. — Jerry Tarde (narration) (00:06:41)[3]
  • On the 4th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 11th, 13th, 16th and 17th the player is unlikely to see the drive land. (Holes to Note: 9th)[5]
  • Recent Tom Fazio work has removed trees, exposed more sand and moved tees back; hard holes got harder. — Jerry Tarde (narration) (00:07:31)[3]
  • The landing areas off the tee are more generous than the reputation suggests; about half the greens need an all-carry approach and the rest accept a ball bounced in from the front. (review)[6]
  • Crump died suddenly in early 1918 with only fourteen holes open; the 12th through 15th were built the following year by Hugh Wilson and William Flynn to his plans. (review)[6]
  • Crump insisted on keeping each hole isolated and on a routing that regularly changes direction. (review)[6]
  • Harry Colt had a large input into the final routing; Crump consulted many leading architects but held strong views on how the course should be arranged. (review)[6]
  • Hotelier George Crump bought the land in 1912 and spent the next six years living at Pine Valley, searching out the holes. (review)[6]
  • Pine Valley has held the No. 1 spot in GOLF's world ranking for decades, with a routing that hopscotches between islands of turf across sandy ground. (3 things to know)[7]
  • The par 3s ask for roughly a three wood, 4 iron, 9 iron and 6 iron into the 3rd, 5th, 10th and 14th for a good player. (Holes to Note: 10th)[5]
