Hole 6 — 567 yards, Par 5

Hit it far but keep it straight down the outstreched and narrow tree-lined corridor. A driver must find the middle of the fairway since out-of-bounds runs down the entire length of the left side of the hole and comes into play on the right for your drive. Finding the fairway with the drive, be smart and lay up with an iron that can be controlled to take out-of-bounds (on the left) out of play. Playing the hole aggressively carries no small risk. At the 150 yard marker turn left and wave to Alister MacKenzie’s ghost; the MacKenzie home is approximately 100 yards from the green. By the way, an extra club length should be added when the pin is cut at the rear of this long green.

From the furthest back championship tee this hole is now one of the most difficult on the course. The fairway narrows considerably for your second shot. Thus you should choose a club that will have you on the fairway for your approach (3rd) shot, but if you are playing from the tips you need all the distance you can get. A classic risk/reward situation. The back pin here is very difficult — be very cautious approaching the blue pin — the green narrows and drops off steeply to the rear.
