Which hole at Castell Heights demands the most strategic thinking, and what's your best advice for playing it?

For us, the par-4 14th, 'Castle's Edge,' is the most strategic hole, with a demanding tee shot over a gully to a sloping fairway. Our advice is to play for position off the tee, favoring the left side, to give yourself the best angle into a tricky green that often plays shorter than it looks.
