I doubt the tree will be in play for most of us and with the popularity of the 'power fade' among your average amateur it doesn't look like a very dangerous hole at all

Play to the bunkers, get on the green for a net par putt and hopefully make it.

First on the rocky shore left, reload into someone's back garden on the right, if that's not OB then three more to make the green and three putts.
Mark me down for a tidy 9.

I would have to hit long iron off the tee to keep it in play. Then it’s mod iron and a short iron. If the greens are US Open slick then putting will be a the part that costs me. Probably 4 putt.

Probably 2 shots down and through the right rough, then a shot over the bunker that runs to the back left of the green. 3 putt 6.

Played there, twice.
Birdied the last in a tidy 73 first time.
Second time was a duck hook off the tee and an altogether different score

Id hit all 3 trees on my way to the green. They seem perfectly placed for my power fade.....

Lucky enough to play there a few years back, my room looked out onto the cypress trees and was great to watch some guys finishing their round in the dark 
My drive had a touch of fade on it, 4W up the fairway, 9iron just to the left of the green...little chip onto the green and about an 8 foot putt for the par. Finished a memorable round!

Just play my normal shot (a very slight left to right and let it happen). Would always be three shots to the green hole for me.

Did it live up to expectations? What a room

How far is the carry to where the fairway starts?

As an inveterate hooker, I suspect a visit to the beach, the real one rather than the euphemistic one, might be on the agenda.
It is a great looking place. I visited, but didn't play, while heading up the Pacific Coast Highway, had a walk out to the ocean side of the 18th green early one morning before any players had got round that far.

30yrs ago I stood under the tree behind the 18th green and pondered on the fact that I'd just been told in the shop that a tee time was available if I wanted to play in the next hour, and that to would cost me $100 - but my g/friend was telling me that I couldn't play as our budget for the day was $60. And I didn't play. So I got her to take a photo of me under the tree. Ho hum. Carpe Diem.
Like @Ethen - I'm guessing I'd have tightened up and done a smothered pull left.

It was a fantastic opportunity and so happy that I said yes to going, was so lucky to have the weather too.
Staying there was as you'd expect, the room location was a total surprise but it gave me a mile wide grin!

I hope you dumped her!

It is not about the carry it is about what's on the left and right. Not a particularly long hole for a par5
Is the beach in play? seems a little shorter route in for me when I draw the life out of it from the tee.

Can't figure out how to change the shot distance.
I usually don't need to worry about what's on the left.

As somebody who tends to drive it straight (but not long), with the occasional slice, the beach wouldn’t particularly worry me. Probably take me four to get to the green, which is where the horror show could start. My guess is a 7, but a 6 if all went well.
