The longest par 3 on the course, this hole will test both length and accuracy to the full. The well struck shot ball which lands somewhat short in the apron will still run up to the putting surface. The green is receptive and encourages aggressive play. Bunkers framing the green are quite deep and will call for deft recovery play.

Woosnam felt that due to the length of the hole, the entrance to the green should be shaped in such a way that it encouraged the shorter hitter to run the ball through the gap between the cavernous bunkers and so earn the reward of a birdie putt.
