| Baxter Spann, Golf Course Architect: The tendency here may be to try to overpower this long hole which plays into the prevailing wind. Though the tee shot is played to one of the wider landing areas on the course, it is best to control the ball and keep in play, setting up a clear third shot to the green from the fairway cut. There is a lot of trouble around the green, which is situated in the bend of a natural arroyo, and which will rarely be challenged in two. A bank shot can be played into the front left of the green off the sloping approach, but care must be taken to avoid the small bunker at the top of the slope and the arroyo at the bottom. |
