Charl Schwartzel believes the 15th hole at Atlanta Athletic Club will prove one of the biggest challenges for competitors at this week's USPGA Championship.
The 260-yard par-three forms part of a daunting closing stretch on the formidable 7,467-yard par-70 lay-out that plays host to the season's final major.
The last time the championship was held at the venue in 2001, eventual winner David Toms made a memorable hole-in-one at the 15th during his third round.
However, this time around Schwartzel believes bogey or better will be a good score at a hole he describes as a "beast".
"Is that a par-3? I thought it was a par-4!" joked the Masters champion.
"What can you say? It's just a beast of a hole. It's long. It's actually quite a small green from that sort of distance.
"(In practice) We played off the back. The flag was in the front. I hit a 3-iron out of my shoes and it just flew to the front edge."
While the players are aided by the fact the hole plays downhill, a large pond waits to swallow up anything offline to the right or too long and, with no real bail-out area, Schwartzel can see it claiming plenty of victims.
"It's going to be a tough hole," he continued. "I don't think you're going to be too disappointed if you walk off with a 4.
"It's going to be just one of those holes where there's no bail-out. You've just got to get down and commit to it. It's going to be the same for everyone that plays it."
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old is confident of another strong showing in Georgia this week - the same state where he opened his major account at Augusta in April.
"I've been feeling really comfortable in the majors," added the 26-year-old, who finished ninth at this year's US Open and 16th at Sandwich. "Every week I've been there, my game has been good.
"After the win at the Masters, I just feel like every time I enter one of these major championships that I can compete in them and get a win out of them. I've played much better."
