Alex,
It is easy to criticize any hole. It all depends on perspective. Let's assume that you would play this hole from the back tees at 443 yards. The two bunkers left are over 260 yards. I suppose they'd punish you if you were trying to go up the left side and pull hooked it a bit. They are probably unnecessary, the first cut bluegrass rough is punitive enough. If you go left side it is about 300 yards to the left corner of the three middle bunkers. From there your approach has to carry the left greenside bunker. If you opted to play right, the shoret right bunkers require a carry of 260 yards. That might get in your head if the wind was against. the right fairway slopes a bit down towards the centre bunkers, so when the fairways are firm and fast you can get more rollout than you expect. If you pick right, then where are you going to aim. If you miss right the rough is, well, rough. If you tug it a bit left, you can easily run out into the bunkers. If you hit 3 wood and lay up to the bunkers, then you have a longer second shot. So, lots of options. And the primary feature of a bottle hole. I thought that would be popular on here.
