I see what you mean. I usually have no problem getting in there, but it is a tougher shot. Even when shot down, par is still attainable.

Same here, although a birdie shot is so infrequent for me it doesn't really matter to me.
I think there are other holes that significantly change with the placements.
Hole 1 - usually a tough par, probably a bogey when long. Easy par and occasional long birdie chance in short.
Holes 2-7 - no major changes for me, except perhaps the frequency of birdies.
Holes 8, 9 - Major shift. Easy par when short, rarely par when long. I'm guessing on 8 - I haven't seen it short for a long time. I think this is one of the broken collars.
Hole 10 - Probably the same, more birdieable when right. I've only seen it right briefly.
Hole 11 - shouldn't be much different, but for some reason I have a tougher time with the current (long) placement
Hole 12 - Much easier birdie chance for me when right, but I rarely see it there.
Hole 13 - Major shift. Short seems way easy. Long is tough.
Hole 14 - No major change - once you get past the first trees both require similar second shots.
Hole 15, 16 - significatnly tougher in long position
Hole 17 - no big change for me
Hole 18 - Par hole when short. Bogey hole when long.
