This a good driving hole, where a well hit tee shot will open the hole up and afford an easier approach. To get a good view of the green a tee shot needs to be over 200 yards, with a longer drive opening up the hole more and taking the green-side trap out of play. Out of bounds and tall poplars to the right will discourage all but the bold and insane from trying to cut the corner of the dog-leg.
