Achallenging finishing hole, par will be an excellent target. A well- struck tee shot down the right side will surely find the fair way, but will leave a mid-to-long iron approach to the green. A more aggressive line off the tee to the left leaves a shorter approach but demands at least a 300-yard carry over sand dunes and bunkers. The downhill landing area must be considered to avoid a shot that travels too far and must stop short of sand dunes and a drop-off to Seven Mile Creek. Even though the approach is downhill, swirling winds surrounding the green complex force players to play an extra club to clear Seven Mile Creek, which guards the front side of this large green. The green’s natural amphitheater feel will provide an exciting climax with thousands of spectators watching every shot.
