#9, par 3, 188 yards. The ninth is a drop shot par 3 to the back side of the clubhouse, and often is played with a crosswind left to right. This wind takes many a ball into the front right bunker which is almost as big as the bowled green itself. Overcompensated shots to the left will find an unkempt hillside or two squiggly bunkers that are difficult sand saves. The benches on the hill 40 feet above the green are prime viewing areas for college and club matches.
#12, par 4, 363 yards. More than 100 yards shorter than the eleventh, but often plays harder stroke-wise. The tee ball offers a cape dilemma, with the option to hit 3 wood or driver long left near out of bounds to reward a straightforward wedge into the green, or bail right or short for a more difficult approach over the edge of the menacing right hand greenside bunker. From the right of the fairway, a fade is preferred into the small, great elevated green natural greensite to hold the putting surface. Balls just carrying the right hand side bunker will funnel to the center of the putting surface. The front pin here is extremely difficult to stay underneath of without having the ball take the false front 10 yards back down the hill. A great challenge for 360 yards.
