green

Beware of the strategic bunker placement at 183.3 yards - positioned short of the green to catch under-clubbed shots. This front bunker is a classic Donald Ross feature designed to penalize conservative play.

Two additional bunkers lurk beyond the green at 211.2 and 217.6 yards, punishing over-aggressive shots. These rear hazards create a narrow margin for error on this Bay Course challenge.
