Home at last, the back nine on Dent ends with a punch. With the clubhouse in view, and Hamilton Island and Whitsunday Island behind, the tee shot here will fly forever.
With an elevation drop of some 40m from the Hoop Pine tee to the landing area below, there is a lot that can happen in that time. Read the wind and hope for a long straight hit, as the ball will fly and run considerably on this downhill monster.
The longest par 4 on the course, the two fairway bunkers at 230 and 250m are well within range and may be flown given the right wind conditions. From here a medium to long iron is required with care taken to avoid the bunkers short right and left of the large ceremonial green.
A short walk to the clubhouse for a drink and the inevitable post mortems will close out a thrilling day.
