Hole 7
This par-5, 534 yards from the back, is without question the most strategically complex hole on the course and one of the best such holes in the country. True alternative paths are hard to set up properly, but here the options are evident on both the first and second shots, particularly after tree clearing opened up views of the routes for all classes of players. The key elements here are a waste-like scrub area dividing the tee shot on a diagonal axis and a second, more dramatic twenty-yard wide dry wash crossing the path of the second shot. The left path off the tee is easier and safer, leaving more than 150 yards to the end of the fairway and a third shot of 145 yards in. The bolder path is down the right side, with a tee shot to an approach area 225-250 yards from the green. This line is easier than it might seem owing to the straighter, shorter angle and leaves a long but open right to left second shot in.
