When the course was opened, many golfers rated this as their favorite hole on the front side. It is a true test of golf, a very strong Par-4 which twists between rocks along the left, and trees along the right, and finishes with an approach to a long, narrow, elevated green. Because of the holes length, the way the green perches precariously below the clubhouse, and a prevailing left to right wind, the second shot requires great precision. Built into an amphitheater - "worthy of hosting the Ryder Cup", as one golf publication stated - the ninth green caused one golfer to utter "I swear it felt like there were 10,000 people, hands wide open, ready to applaud."
