Manageable par four where the main challenge is no longer the former front lake, but the out-of-bounds areas on both sides of the fairway. A 3-wood, hybrid, or long iron off the tee is recommended to favor accuracy. Well-guarded green demands a precise approach shot. <\/p>\n<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
