One of the defining features of this hole is the dramatic slope that flanks the left side of the green; not to mention the spectacular backdrop of the McDowell Mountains. Strategically, the play is to favor the left side of the green, especially if the pin is left, to take advantage of the slope which funnels errant shots down to the green. A right pin brings a greenside bunker into play. Golfers who short-side themselves will be facing a difficult up-and-down.
