Hole 9

The long par 4 ninth hole closes out the front nine in spectacular fashion. Measuring 466 yards from the Golden Bear tees, the hole takes a slow turn right from the tee, with heavy bunkering on the right side of the fairway challenging the tee shot. The left side of the fairway again hugs up against the exposed rock face that frame so many of the holes. With a large bunker front, the average golfer will either try and run the approach in from the left side or need to hit a high, towering approach shot to find the green. This may become a three-stroke hole for many golfers.
