This demanding Par 5 presents one of the toughest tee shots at Prince's. Players must avoid the two deep bunkers positioned to the left of the fairway with wetlands collecting drives played too far to the right. Once this has been navigated two good shots are still required to hit the large green which has a raised ledge on the left hand side, sloping down towards a flat section protected by two pot bunkers. A par here is a very good score!

Pro's tip
The new tee boxes located next to the beach have created a tough tee shot on this challenging par 5. Played directly into the prevailing wind, players are forced to hit towards the wetland area by two deep bunkers on the left hand side of the fairway. Once the fairway has been found, 2 good shots are still needed to reach the green. The green, gently sloping left to right, is well protected by pot bunkers on either side of the green. Hitting the middle of this green is always a good shot.
