Hole 12, Heathery (In) 348 yards Par 4
This short par 4 is harder than it may appear from the tee. Bunkers lie in wait from the tee but are not visible. The top level of two-tier green is only 12 paces deep. As a result a lot of pros will take the green on from the tee in order to avoid having to be supremely accurate with their second shots.
