The long bunker at the bottom of the cliff, that runs most of the length of the hole and the mounded left side, makes the fairway very desirable. The three tiered green is very well bunkered with three scotchish pot bunkers in front and three more bunkers, left, behind and right. The players making a score of par on this hole will be rewarded by picking up ground on the field. The longest par three at Boone Valley, with the second largest green. A long par three requires the player to land on or be level with the pin.
Most players find themselves in the collection area, short and in the front left part of the green.
A chip shot from here is very challenging and par would be extremely rewarding. The tee shot is to a narrow fairway, that has a bunker running the length of the fairway on the right side. If the player avoids both bunkers but misses the fairway, they are reminded of the long gripping blue grass rough. However, if the player is fortunate enough to be in the fairway they should be ale to hit some part of the 25,000 square foot green. By moving the pin from the front of the green to the back right, a player's yardage would be increased by at least forty-five yards.
