The tee shot here has been likened to threading a needle as you have a gap of no more than 20 mtrs. to play through from the tee to reach the fairway.

All the main trouble is down the right where out of bounds and dense tree planting awaits. Some specimen trees will prove a problem for balls hit too far left of this left to right sloping fairway. The green is a small square target with a bunker to the left and another front right in a deep impression. If you are front right you can find yourself 3 feet below the surface of the green.

The slight elevation of the green will reject any shots left short. A fitting finishing hole with a green which is trickier than it looks.
