I don't about mistaken tee areas at Sangwich, but the green and reverse fairway cant make the 9th a thriller. 9 at Deal is the worst on the course.
SANDWICH 1UP
HOLE NUMBER 10:
Deal: Braid redid these holes at the end of the course, and, by all accounts, this one was the best effort. Maxing out at 360 yards, Deal has classic misdirection off the tee: the player gets the lure of the flag to the left. However, closer examination reveals that the green falls off severely on the front left and long right, making the best angle of approach from the right side of the fairway. Two hidden bunkers guard this angle off the tee, and it will take several rounds for the player to get comfortable with a line off this tee. The green itself is fantastic--the most manufactured green on the course, reminding of something out of a Raynor or Langford course here in the States. Great start to a wonderful back nine.
Sandwich: The back nine starter puts up a hell of a fight against Deal. Playing in the mid-300s from the regular tees and maxing out at 410 from the back, Sandwich is one of the shorter fours on the course. The tee shot is relatively forgiving, but the second shot here is dynamite. The approach plays uphill to a plateau, skyline green that only accepts the best iron shots. Recovery shots around this green, especially left and long, are especially fearsome. Sandwich's tenth is simple, but it is a brilliant par four that is definitely a change of pace from the rest of the course, which relies mostly on low-profile greens.
