A dogleg to the right, the drive is uphill and should be aimed towards the “marker post” Shorter drives will create a “blind” second shot and it is mandatory that a playing partner checks from the hilltop that the “valley” below is clear and watches the shots of players within the group. There are bunkers around thirty yards short of the green, which is also protected by “out of bounds to the left and rear”

Pro's Tip:  Unless you can clear the top of the hill, over the marker post and finish in the valley, favour the left side of the fairway to leave an easier lie and safer shot into the green.
 
Hole 9 - Tee shot - Longer slots can clear the hill and run down into the valley but there's trouble on either side. It's not SI 1 for nothing!
