Pro's Tip

A reasonably generous opening tee shot but safety is all important on the second shot. Best to lay up short of the cross bunker and play this as a genuine "3 Shotter".

A long shot is rewarded here. This hole opens up slightly after 200yds or so. The green slopes gently from back to front and will reward a bold approach shot.

A super dog-leg Par 4. A drive just right of centre gives the best line in to a long narrow target. Check the pin position - it is nearly 3 clubs from front to back!

A truly awesome Par 5. There is a bit of room to the right with your tee shot (avoid the horse-riders!) But always play safe with an iron for your second. Treat this 3 shotter with the respect it deserves or it can destroy you!

Pro's Tip

A wonderful finishing hole. Aim slightly left from the tee as the fairway will throw your ball to the right. It's all carry to the green and try to hit the correct part of this 2 tiered green - 3 putts up or down the slope are not uncommon!
