The tenth is a very reachable, but very risky, dogleg par 4. Playing for the green is possible for most longer hitters, but anything short of perfect will likely be disastrous. There is water on the right side and a large bunker on the left. The area for a safe miss is almost non-existent.
Playing to the layup spot isn’t trivial however. The trees on the right loom much larger over the landing zone than is obvious, and players need to keep the ball left, adding distances along the dogleg.
The greens on the back nine are much more irregular than the front an this hole is no exception. The left side pin position will likely be the most difficult, as the green is quite narrow, and the bunker left leaves little room for error.
A lay-up hit to the left of the fairway and far out enough to avoid the trees on the right. From the Blacks/Blues 200, Whites 190, and Reds 160. A temptation to drive the green when wind conditions are right may not pay off.
