The green has a gentle downward/rightward slope starting from the center of the green to the back and to the right. It can be a little hard to see from the front of the green, so chipping from the front to a pin in the center can lead to a longer run out than you'd expect.

They've added a new elevated tee at the back and moved the green about 60 yards back, so it's now playing about 520 from the tips. They've effectively narrowed the landing area for long knockers as there is a new trap on the right at about 265-285 off the tee. With the trees on the left, be sure to play to the center here. The second shot is a real challenge into the wind, and they've got a significant new bunker on the left, so play to 100 yard marker and hit a straight one into a narrow green with a bunker on the right that loves to catch you.
