Road
One of the most famous holes in world golf, this is a formidable par 4. The drive must flirt with the edge of the hotel, ideally finding the right side of the fairway, as this provides the best angle to come into the narrow green.
Anything finding the left rough makes the approach very difficult and will probably encourage the player to aim for the front right of the putting surface.
At the green, the famous “Road” bunker captures many seemingly good shots that come up just shy, and has witnessed the end of numerous Open challenges. A ball flying too far will bound through
the green and onto, (perhaps across) the road. From anywhere through the green, par is an unlikely score. This always ranks as by far the hardest hole on the course during Open week.
