Hole #9 is the start of what many call "Heidelberg's Amen Corner."  This is a short par 4 with an environmental hazard along the entire left side of the fairway.   The right side slopes severely and driving accuracy is a premium.  Many golfers elect to play a medium iron, leaving them with the same club to the green.  However, a long drive will leave the risk-taking golfer with a short chip over a deep bunker.  The green slopes severely from back to front.
