This 594 yard, Par 5 personal favorite of Tom's starts in grand style with a spectacular tee shot. Your first and second shots cruise downhill through a gorgeous wooded valley. To keep the cruise from getting rough, you'll need to stay clear of the big tree near the landing area left of center. There are also two bunkers on the left. Obviously, the task is to stay right to set up a perfect second shot.
The green is reminiscent of the 18th at Congressional. A lake that sits behind and to the right of the green can be delightful to the eye, yet devilish to an errant shot. As you play this hole, you'll be pleased to know the wonderful views of the Martis Creek Wildlife Reserve will be preserved forever.
