The hole is named for the raised tee box in regards to the much lower green. This hole also offers the player a choice of two fairways, an upper and a lower. The terrain for this hole could be desert or mountainous woods and tree types could also vary to be consistent with the rest of the course.

This unique par 5 begins with the player’s decision of an uphill fairway to the left and a rolling downhill fairway to the right. Tee box and wind conditions will likely be the key factor for the player’s decision from round to round, making neither route inherently easier than the other. The length of this hole is listed around 460-490 yards (depending on tee placement), but this plays much longer when choosing the right fairway. The green slopes down 2 degrees toward the water (away from the tee box).

The left fairway offers a shorter overall length, but requires accurate shot making to leave with a birdie or eagle. The fairway slopes upward on top of a plateau and leaves the player with a 150ft. (approx) drop to green, which is sandwiched between the cliff face and water. Due to the rising fairway, a 300+yd. drive is not necessarily a guarantee, even to experienced players. The fairway is guarded by a long bunker on the right side and balls hit too close may funnel into it. A solid drive will leave you anywhere from a 160-200yds approach. This midrange shot can be quite difficult because even moderate winds have a significant affect on the ball during its long decent to the green. The jagged cliff can come into play and short or wind affected shots can skip of the rock face and easily end up water.

The right fairway slopes downhill significantly and is a big hitters dream. The sweeping fairway will help guide the ball toward the green, but distance and placement are both key here. A 350-400yd. drive can still leave roughly a 250-300yd. approach to the green that is partially shielded by the cliff face and surrounded by water, leaving little room for error. Playing a carefully played C-3 maximizes distance, but also presents its share of risks. Too much cut will send you across the fairway and into the water, while not enough may leave you in one of the three sand traps to the right. Adverse wind conditions, short drives, or the pot bunkers may require the player to layup at the end of the fairway or past the water to the right on the small landing area.

This hole has many risks to consider, but will reward those making smart decisions and executing precise shots. Birdie is a realistic score, but trying for eagle (and missing) may cost you any shot at par.
