The 12th green slopes from back to front. So, it's a must to leave your ball below the hole to avoid an extremely difficult downhill putt. The green itself is surrounded by sand traps . . . and, the golfer must carry a pond with bulkhead extending from the from the tee to the green. One of the most picturesque views on the course. And certainly a beautiful site to see the ball land short of the hole and roll directly up hill into the cup !
