The second at Ballyhack provides one of the best views of the golf course and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The player needs to avoid the three fairway bunkers on his first shot. From there, the strategy of the hole is dictated by the location of the flagstick. With two distinct openings to the green, the player needs to pick the best angle to approach the hole and leave himself a comfortable distance for his third shot. Once on the green, the player will be afforded one of the best views in modern golf. Birdies will be awarded to the player who plays smartly.
