At 6,564 yards from the back tees, Naruo can no longer be considered a long course, but length would new have been the principle defence of par.

Even if you miss the large bunkers which tend to sit well below the surface of the green, you will find yourself in tangly rough and all the uncertainty of result that comes from playing from it.
