About This Hole
Our lone par 5 offers another chance to hit the driver. Longer hitters should look to draw off the inside bunker, where shorter hitters should favour the left side. A well struck drive will take advantage of fairway slopes and make the second shot considerably easier - bravery will be rewarded. The second shot requires some thinking - OOB left will be hard to ignore, but a right-to-left 4 iron off the mound will put most in a good position. In a favourable wind, the longest of hitters will get home in 2 but this requires some favourable conditions. The ideal approach will be with a lofted wedge and from the middle/left side of the fairway (for most pins). The green slopes sharply back to front and has ruined many promising rounds before they really got started. Players will be rewarded for keeping the ball short of the hole, especially for a front pin where the surface is relatively flat. A birdie opportunity for the brave.
