HOLE 08

Gatekeeper

Rack the start gate, drop in, and charge the ramp. Hesitate and the gate bites back.

How it plays

A 30 mm and a 90 mm ramp gate guard the run to the cup. A 210 mm tower pair and two more towers lift the line, while four fairways, a corner fairway, a Box Beam and a dense rock garden make the gatekeeper earn its keep.
