HOLE DESCRIPTION Par: 4 Yards: 467 This is one of the most famous and recognizable holes in the world. Recently it was ranked by Golf Magazine as one of the top 500 holes in the world, and has often been ranked the most difficult finishing hole on the PGA TOUR. Since this hole generally plays into the wind or into a left-to-right crosswind, the drive becomes extra tough. However, the longer you drive the ball, the wider the target. The narrowest part of the fairway is at the end of the water and is only 25 yards wide so the lake is definitely in play. There are trees guarding the entire right side of this hole, and driving the ball in the right rough leads to a terrifying shot into a long narrow green. The green is bordered by water all the way down the left side. Many balls hit left of the green end up in the water. It takes courage for a player to strike the ball down this fairway and then fire at the back left-hand Sunday pin. Both shots must negotiate wind and water. A tremendous hole.
