This par 5 offers a generous tee shot landing area, once you safely navigate the narrow opening through the tree line and the creek (again).  From there, the fairway narrows gradually as you proceed uphill towards the green.  From 150 yards and in, the entire left side of the fairway is tree lined, so be careful not to pull your second shot.  A good tee shot will leave you tempted to "go for it" in two, but the deep front bunker stands as a potential penalty if you come up short.  As the second par 5 in the first 3 holes, this is the last "warm up" hole before you get to something really tuff.

As you move forward through the different tee boxes you get progressively closer to the creek and tree line.  From the forward ladies tees the creek is only about 50 yards away.  This view also provides a glimpse of the full length of the hole, with the large split bunker that guards the green visible at the top of this picture.

From about 150 yards out you get a better view of the large double bunker which guards the elevated green.  The large oak tree on the left side comes into play if your approach shot must be hit from the far left side of the fairway, so shot position is critical.
