Description
- This is a very interesting and challenging medium length par 4 hole with a heavily wooded area along the left side and mango trees along the right side all the way from the tee boxes to the landing area.
- Strayed or too short a drive will result in having to lay the second shot up in front of a large pond guarding an interesting green that is probably the widest in Thailand.
- The landing area slopes rather steeply from right to left and tilting forward such that a properly hit drive landing on the slope will be rewarded with a forward kick to the left and come to rest on a rather flat area of the fairway only a short iron shot away from the green.
- The wide green will be most challenging when the pin is placed on the far right side as the approach shot will be substantially longer and the target is intimidating.
- Pin positions toward the left side of the green provide somewhat easier play even though it is protected by a front sand bunker.
- Any approach shot over the green will face a daunting task of getting back on with the green surface sloping away towards the water.
- All in all, the hole requires precision shots both off the tee and to the green.
