“T“here’s just something redeeming when you conquer a cliff,” Huard says. No kidding — and there’s no cliff quite like the one at No. 9, where the whole world appears to drop off below your feet. While the tees can be placed almost anywhere along a 100-yard strip from about 130-230 yards out, most golfers play it between 170-200 yards — though the steep drop-off and the wind that blows in off the Sound in the afternoon can wreak havoc with your club selection. Pin placement is key — if it’s to the right, you can loft a shot to the center of the green or even off the back slope, where Jason Day had his famous fall, and let it run down to the front-right corner. Go too high on the slope, though, and you’ll either lose it in the junk, or watch it run too far across the green and wind up in a deadly front bunker. If the pin is front-left, a knock-down shot to the apron will run right up to the hole, or run a little ways up the back slope before settling down. Take a picture and soak it all in, because birdie or bogey, it’s one you’ll remember.
