A medium length par 3 with trouble surrounding the green. Two large bunkers short right; will trap any weak, leaked shot. Two deep bunkers to the left of the green will catch any ball pulled left. The lake at the back of the green will also come into play for any ball hit long enough past both groups of bunkers. It is obvious to say that the best place to be on this hole is on the putting surface! A tee shot that fly’s straight will end up in a reasonable position with a fairly straight forward chip shot up the large green. The putting surface here is quite straight forward with a slight down hill contour from left to right. Ensure that you pick your line carefully, with pace being the key to a successful long putt.

The Pro’s Way:-

Depending on the position of the flag, the hole can play anything from an 8 iron to a 5 iron. As a guide, the 8 iron will find the front edge, a solid 7 iron or steady 6 iron will find the middle of the green. Try not to get too greedy with your tee shot as a missed green will result in a probable dropped shot. Safety and percentage is the way to secure a par on this hole.

The Amateurs Way:-

Forget about the pin position here. The target area is the middle of the green. 161 yards to the green center is the strategy here. Avoiding the bunkers and water will be essential to a respectable bogey or very satisfying par.
