The plan for No. 9
Treat the break between the main fairway and the green approach as a decision point. On this par 5, advance only as far as the lie and your reliable distance allow.
Off the tee
Left-side bunkers border the main landing strip. Favor the mown center with enough margin to keep a normal miss in play.
Approach & recovery
The final approach crosses the sand-lined gap before the upper approach area. If that shot is beyond a comfortable carry, lay up to a useful number in the main fairway.
On the green
Read the contour panel before the approach. Favor an uphill leave when the pin allows it, and make pace control the first priority from outside comfortable range.
Watch for
- Sand lines the left fairway edge and the transition to the upper approach.
