The start of Kermode Corner, a notorious three-hole stretch. Water hazards line both sides of the fairway, demanding accuracy from the tee. Many players choose a long iron or fairway wood to stay in play, leaving a longer approach. The green sits between bunkers and slopes off a hillside behind, ready to reject shots that run long. It’s a hole where precision is valued more than power. As the first step into Kermode Corner, it sets the stage for the challenge ahead.
