This 417-yard, par 4 plays downwind much of the year, making it a tempting hole to take a big swing on. The fairway runs straight away, but the landing area is accented by mounds on either side, so finding the short stuff is important. The green is very shallow, making the high-lofted short-iron shot you'll have left all the more important. This green is really tough to hold and the trap that sits right in front of the green is hard for weaker players to clear.
