“LONG SHOT” HOLE 6 / 495 YARDS / PAR 4 It sometimes seems the only viable architectural defence in an age of routine 330-yard (302m) drives is to cut off the fairway. That’s what the sixth hole does. Floyd’s Fork bisects the hole, capping drives at 300 yards, and any tee shot that goes right or through the fairway tumbles into a deep ravine. Players will club down to put the ball in play, then face an approach of about 200 yards – front hole locations are accessible, but birdies will become scarce the further the flag moves back. This was the second-most-difficult hole in 2014 with a 4.35 stroke average.
