Suits
- An Atlantic-coast links where the wind direction changes the club needed off many tees.
- Dunes and narrow green entrances, as on the 4th and 14th, reward accuracy over distance.
- Long par 4s and a 236-yard par 3 call for strong long-iron play.
- Raised greens with deep bunkers, such as the cavernous bunker left of the 14th, reward players who can control approach distance.
Signature hole
No. 16, Calamity Corner
A par 3 of up to 236 yards with no bunkers, where the right side of the green drops into a deep chasm.
