I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak at LF about 18 mths before opening, as we drove in, Mr Coore was walking down the 12 the FW with his pink flags - the 10/11/12/13 area was shaped, and we thought it looked incredibly cool, a few specimen trees, and just beautiful short cut grass all around, and a really good way to tie all this opening b9 set of holes together.
Dave, I really like the way the green is tucked around the corner, with a large and pretty deep bunker and the dune/the trees [edit] guarding every approach from down the fairway, I would think this is the kind of feature usually saved for a good short par 4, so my preferred play of the hole after a few attempts, in benign conditions, is to hit my 2 nd shot down the right hand side to about bunker or pin high - and the further the right the better, we have been allowed tons of room to play away from the bunker, this leaves with a pitch straight down the axis of the green and up to 80 yards, a solid pitch or chip gives a chance a birdie.
I really like the feel of the green and 11 tee in close proximity.
And with 12 green, also found an intentional long shot thru the green, provides a relatively straight forward chip back to most of the left and back pin positions.
To me, number ten as a par 5, is a strategic hole that I have not seen a lot, and am struggling to think of a p5 laid out similar without water on the left. A very, very good hole IMHO.
