Hole Description.

This lengthy par 3 shows the player very little from the tee. Deep bunkers left and right hide the view of the green, with only the flag giving an indication of the hole position. The difficulty in this hole lies in the narrowness of the green. A mid to long iron of 175 yards will find the middle of the green, which will only 10 yards short or long to remain on the putting surface. 165 yards will find the front edge of the green, 185 yards will see the ball sat deeply in the uninviting rough. Careful club selection and quality ball striking will be the only way to keep your tee shot on the green. The right portion of the green is quite flat so do not look too much into the line of the putt. The left portion is a different matter as the contour slopes steeply from the back right area into the middle of the green, making the hole here a very slippery position.

The Pro’s Way:-

Select a club that will fly to the front of the green. 165 yards is your only aim here as anything long will leave a nasty little chip from the deep rough back down the fast green. If the pin is cut in the right portion of the green then this is a good chance for birdie. A solid strike will stop on the putting surface in a fairly flat area of the green.

 The Amateurs Way:-

The tee shot here is quite difficult as it requires distance precision. Anything hit short of 165 yards will need a good chip shot to save par. Anything hit over the back of the green will need a very good chip shot to save par. However, this is defiantly a chance to secure a par after a very difficult runs of previous holes.
