When you play it, against the prevailing wind, you will know why! This was the original name of this hole on the old course. When the green was laid in 1911 they discovered the remains of a British villa.
Into the prevailing wind ordinarily, a monster of a Par 4. Long drive to left of the fairway bunkers gives the long hitter the chance of reaching in regulation. Like the 8th, a 3 shot hole for most. 2 front bunkers need negotiating with your approach into the green. Make your 4 here and you are 1 up on the field for sure.
