Hole 6 Par 5 555 yards

The first of three par 5s was played as a long par-4 in 1997. At 555 yards it should be reachable for all the players. However, two small bunkers protect the front left of the green and the front right of the green is preceded by a larger water hazard making distance control a must. The green is split by a swale and pin positions turn this into a risk/reward hole.
