Beech Park Golf Club in Dublin, Ireland

Hole 10

This is the second leg of "Amen Corner". A very tight driving hole, from the tee it looks even tighter than it is. Heavy tree cover on the right and the left demands that you hit the ball straight, and yet if you use a driver you run the risk of even a well hit ball running into the outcrop of trees at the top of the hill.

The woodlands on both sides of this treacherous fairway are lined with rhododendrons. In early summer the splendor of the blooms sharpens the analogy to Augusta National’s "Amen Corner". Once at the top of the hill, the green can be seen to be set in a valley protected on the right hand side by a large bunker and by large trees on the left.
