This short downhill par 4 plays to a very narrow landing area 35 yards in width. The landing area is about 250 yards from the white tees so it might be best to hit a long iron or fairway wood off the tee and leave yourself a short iron to the green. Fairway bunkers and a pond on the right side of the fairway and tall fescue grass down the left side of the hole will gobble up any wayward tee shots. The Chippewa River frames the green along the left side and behind, with wetlands just to the right. The green is hilly and presents many different breaks and speeds. This is a birdie hole, but can easily be turned into a bogey with a wrong step.
