A straightforward par 4 playing downhill with a fairway that opens invitingly before tightening as it approaches the green. Bunkers guard the right side of the green, while the left provides a safer bailout area for the approach shot.

A long par 5 with a relatively straight layout that rewards length off the tee. The fairway widens through the middle section, but bunkers tighten around the green to penalize errant approach shots from any direction.
