A mid-length par 4 with a deceptive layout that plays longer than the yardage suggests. The fairway tightens approaching the green, which is protected by hazards that punish anything offline.

A short par 3 with a modest target that offers little margin for error despite its length. The green is well-bunkered and requires a precise short iron to avoid trouble.
