Mackie: A tough driving hole into a fairway that tilts to the right but swings left. The perfect tee shot is a draw that holds position against the slope of the ground. Bushes, bunkers and rough threaten anything leaking right and there is more severe trouble for a draw that turns into a hook down the left. The sunken green is hidden from the right side of the fairway. With bunkers at the front it pays to be bold with the approach.
