This hole is a long uphill par 5. The left-to-right slope on the fairway makes it difficult to hold the ball on the short grass and a deep bunker waits to gather drives sent slightly off course by the slope.
A good drive here needs to be hit with a slight draw. The huge unforgiving lime trees to the left of the tee force the player to aim to the right of the fairway where a strategically placed bunker and more trees await those who do not manage to draw the ball.
The player must think strategically about the second shot. A long second will set up and easy chip to the hole and a possible birdie, but the fairway narrows dramatically as it nears the green and the deep rough on either side makes accurate chipping almost impossible.
