This hole is a great par 5 that Dallas Morning News ranks as among the best 18 holes in Texas. Most importantly, this is almost always a 3-shot hole, so position off the tee is more important than bombing it. Favor the left rough line along the hillside which will allow the ball to come back to the left center of the fairway. A tee shot down the right side can end up in the rough or worse, bark mulch. From there, your second will be extremely difficult.

From position A down the left center, your second shot should also be played down the left side. Just right of the single oak tree in the rough is a good line. If you bomb it off the tee, you can cut across the corner of the creek, but beware of the tree that guards this line. At best, you can get a 50-yard pitch choosing this route. A safer approach to the left gives you 100-110 yards into a fairly large target.

This hole offers you an alternate fairway for your second shot, but this should be a last resort. The target is smaller and the third from there is blind and over the creek. If you go right off the tee; however, this may be your only alternative.

The fifth green is large and features a variety of pins. When the pin is towards the back, you can use the backboards to get it close. The valley runs back to front, so be careful with the putt from the middle of the green towards the front.
