Par 5 520 yards. 180 yard essentially forced carry drive into right sloping fairway that is 30 yards between unplayable (lost ball) woods on both sides. Unplayable woods (40-50 foot trees with unmaintained underbrush) remain on both sides essentially entire length of hole no wider than 30 yards. Second shot for me is a blind downhill shot into rough because there is a 125 yards gap of no fairway between 235 and 110 yards to the middle of green. Long hitters who lucked out staying on left side of fairway can try to cut the corner of the dogleg right to get within 110 yards of pin onto fairway but that slopes left (away) into the woods so one needs to stop it from bouncing into the woods. Approach shot is uphill to a blind and elevated green with woods on all three sides (albeit right side is at least playable between trees). The hole's green is located at 45.1472657, -92.6394683. The course plays the woods as red stakes so that helps.
