The perfect drive is one directly at the center oak with a slight draw, eliminating trouble from a natural sand area and pond to the left. The green is open in front, but protected left and right by more sand. Expect to see many approach shots finding the center portion of this narrow, deep green.

Pete Dye’s Comment: This plays best right to left off the tee, with wind off your left shoulder. The landing area is not very generous, but there is nothing in front so you can roll a ball onto it. The bunker on the left (two-thirds of the way back) shouldn’t be a problem if you drive in the fairway.
