A longish, dead straight par four which
requires accuracy to set up a mid- to low-iron approach. Accuracy is much more critical
than length here as the baby pines lining the right side have grown into a formidable
presence. Down the left side, the Concord service road can provide both bad and good
breaks, potentially kicking tee shots out of bounds.
The defining characteristic of this hole is the two-tiered
green which has had many a player take bogey after two solid shots. Club selection is very
important and leaving the ball below the hole is a must.
This hole gathers its name from the vending area on the left
side of the hole where most players would be advised to walk. Many an errant tee shot from
the 5th tee (we’ve all bailed right) have come close to impaling players.
Likewise, errant tee shots from this hole have made their way toward the 5th
green. Those are the breaks of having 24 amateurs in a confined area.
