The prevailing wind is often in your face as you stand on the tee making this hole play much longer than its 363 yards. The fairway is narrow in the landing area and the longer hitter must be aware of the 3 cross-bunkers at around 250 yards.

The fairway in front of the green slopes left to right pushing anything short towards the bunker. The green also slopes in this direction and your approach needs to be below the hole otherwise you will face a very quick downhill putt.
