A pronounced dogleg is the main difficulty with this hole.

The corner on the right is guarded by tall mature trees so going over them will not be an option for all but the very long hitters. Anything short and right will have little option but to play for the fairway unless a big fade (hook if you are left handed) is in your shot bag.

The green is guarded short front left and right by a pair of narrow bunkers which can catch those shots under clubbed. The green slopes from back left to front right and can leave a difficult putt if you are on the wrong side of the hole.
