From the championship tees, this hole measures in at 440 yards with a handicap of 7, making it one of the more difficult holes on the course. The tee shot requires precision as there are five bunkers strategically placed along the fairway to catch errant drives.

Speaking of approaching the green - there is water lurking just beyond its edges so be sure to aim for accuracy rather than distance on your second shot. And while there are only five bunkers total on this hole, they do not pose much threat greenside (only accounting for about 1% of total bunker coverage).
