Baxter Spann,
Golf Course Architect: "The tee shot should favor the right
here, as the second shot opens up more from the right side of the wide
fairway. Anything left off the tee is confronted with massive peaks, which
must be played over to go for the green in two or to reach the desired
second landing area. This is one of many holes at Black Mesa which ask
the golfer to play it again and again to in order to understand the correct
lines of play and the best target areas. The second landing area pitches
severely from left to right, so approaches are best played farther left
than would at first appear. This requires a carry over some cross bunkers
and the toe of slope of the high ridge which runs along the entire left
side of the fairway. The slope of the approach also allows a ball to kick
into the green if placed properly left of the frontal bunkers. The long
putting surface bends around a surprisingly deep bunker at mid-right which
is definitely to be avoided."
