About the club

Intimidating dogleg, once the clubhouse is negotiated this becomes a simple opening hole. Longer hitters should aim left of the marker, to allow a short iron, off the plateau, to the green. Short hole that is guarded by menacing sand traps around a sloping green. Precision is of paramount importance, as is your putting touch. Straight long drive towards the marker on the hillside, plus the use of the slope for your 2nd shot and it could be birdie time. Beware, bunker at rear of green for over hit green shots! Careful club selection for this downhill hole is vital. Too strong can leave you three off the tee. There is a demanding bunker, rear of the green. Blind shot up the hill, bunker left of the marker, too far right and firs block your view. Perhaps a three wood then a short second up onto a raised green.
