Sandhills HOLE 10 / 450 YARDS / PAR 4
At Troon, you need to steal as much as you can going out because you’re going to spend it, and more, coming in. After reaching the southeasternmost point of the property near the holiday park, the 10th turns in the other direction and begins the long odyssey back, typically into the wind. The drive is blind over the eponymous sandhills, and long hitters can try to cheat the hole by cutting off more of the dune on the left, though balls running through the fairway will find a series of hollows, leaving long, blind approaches into a green benched into another tall dune. There are no bunkers on the hole, but the right front of the green falls steeply away and will repel any miscalculated approach.
