Scorecard

 The average player should play to the right of the middle bunkers, which is higher terrain and will give them a peek at the flagstick. The better player may want to play along a more direct line to the green, making the approach shot shorter but leaves the player with a difficult approach shot from which to judge the distance. The green reflects the natural terrain in its area.  There is plenty of fairway in front, and to the left of the green, although it slopes away from the green, so the player should favor the left side of the green with their approach unless they are certain of hitting a fine shot at the pin.

This is the first of three par three holes on the outgoing nine, and the longest of all the par three holes. No bunkers occupy the green site area, and there is plenty of fairway surrounding the green. The player does not have to reach the green in the air; rather they can play a shot short of the green and expect it to roll onto it. However, a deep swale bisects the green so it is imperative that the player's ball finds the correct area of the green or risk having to putt through the swale to get close to the hole.

A somewhat blind tee shot confronts the player, who would do well to hit a draw or right to left shot. The draw gets the ball going toward the green taking advantage of the downhill sloping fairway, and likely will help avoid playing into the two fairway bunkers on the outside bend of the fairway. The expert hitter who knows the course can pick a line to the green and play a mighty tee shot to the fairway on a direct line to the green, leaving a short pitch to the green. The green is somewhat modest in its design, however a ridge bisects it making two putts a challenge if one is on the opposite side of the ridge from the hole.

From the tee through the green area the natural terrain provided a tremendous opportunity to make a strategic par five hole of the highest order. The tee shot must bend to the right to avoid a hidden bunker at the end of the fairway. A big hit is necessary because of what awaits the second shot down the fairway. Seven long, snakelike bunkers have been carved into a hillside that is in front of the player about to play their shot. Fairway completely surrounds the bunkers. Starting at the tee the average hitter can hit two full shots, and be short of the bunkers. A long hitter must either play through a narrow fairway area to the right of the bunkers or pick a line on which to play a carry shot over the bunkers. A line to the far left is the shortest carry, but the fairway slopes towards the property boundary. A line to the far right is the longest carry, but the safest. A similar design confronts the player at the green. In this instance two bunkers are in front of the green, one set more in the approach fairway. Fairway wraps around both sides of the fronting bunkers, and enters the green on the far left and right sides. There are a number of interesting, subtle contours throughout the green that make for some exciting pin locations.
