This may be the most difficult hole on the inward nine. The canal running down the entire right side will certainly come into play on tee shots. You must decide just how far down the canal you’ll try to carry, setting up a demanding approach.

Pete Dye’s Comment: There are definitely two different holes here. One hole is way back, 470 yards, and the landing area is very wide, about 180 feet. But I built another tee, 400 yards or so, with a very narrow landing area. It’s a good hole from either tee.
