Many players will play their second shots well right of the hole to avoid the deep pot bunker in front of the green. A grassy mound guarding the front of the green influences the second shot. A safer route is to the left. Depending on the wind, the elevated green, which is shared with the 13th hole, is reachable in two. Players must protect against misjudging the length of the second shot - a common mistake at this hole.
Deep bunkers guard the left and right edges of the green which slopes from front to back.
A relatively easy par 4 if players avoid the numerous fairway bunkers. A flat hole with a relatively large green. Three bunkers guard the left side of the fairway and another lines the right, but none should come into play. The green slopes from left to right. It is not uncommon for a downhill putt to role off the green and into Strath.
