Red Feather Preview: Hole #9


The new bunkering on this hole puts a premium on a straight tee shot.


The left fairway bunker sits 240 yards from the blue tee and provides a nice frame for the fairway. The far right fairway bunker sits 180 yards from the blue tee. If you find yourself against the greenside face of this bunker, your odds of hitting the green in regulation are pretty slim.

The other right fairway bunker sits 212 yards from the tee. If you are able to carry the ball 240 yards uphill, you can fly this bunker and you'll be rewarded with a kick towards the green. A new greenside bunker hugs the left side of the green and provides protection for a left pin placement. This bunker is fairly deep and will demand a challenging lofted bunker shot.
