The tee is over 100 feet above the green level, and the hole is barely 300 yards long. It looks as if you could easily drive the green. However, the fairway is only 12 yards wide for the last 50 yards approaching the green. There are two bunkers flanking the most narrow portion of the fairway, and the back of the green falls off into rough that is over a foot deep. Also, the green is only about 40 feet in diameter.
Most golfers jump at the chance to 'drive the green' and a few do make it.
But for most, the end is disasterous. Then, you can use a short iron to hit the ball near or onto the green. Even three more strokes from there still gives you a bogey. In contrast, most amateurs do not hit trouble shots well. You could easily end up stuck in the sand or the rough for several strokes.
