6th hole overview
The panoramic views offered by dunes adjacent to the 6th hole are sublime.
From the 6th tee, one may play safely through the gap to the left or over the conical sand pile on the right riding the prevailing breeze.
Solid drives are rewarded not only with easier approach shots, but also with the opportunity to take the high road along the seaside ridge while others take the low road.
A stroll down the path from ridge to fairway…
…will hopefully lead to your ball, well down the right side. The approach from here is much shorter and from the best angle.
Unless the wind is helping strongly, an extra club should be considered for the uphill approach.
Looking back from long and left of the green, it is clear why approaches are more difficult from the left side of the fairway.
A favorite feature of Sir Kiser, this view of the day’s pin position is available from the 3rd tee (long and right of the 6th green).
