Pro Tip:
A testing opener that requires a well placed tee shot to a fairway located between the mounds. Play second shot right half of green. The shorter hitter should aim towards the corner stone, with longer hitters aiming a little further left. The approach should be played to the right of the flag to leave an uphill putt.

Pro Tip:
A generous green that slopes slightly from back to front, and is suited to a lower approach. The fairway tightens for the longer hitters, but anything avoiding the bunkers should be ok.

Pro Tip:
Despite it’s relatively short length and apparent straightforwardness, pay this hole some respect. Aiming for the centre of the green is the safe play.

Pro Tip:
A well-guarded fairway requires a true tee shot. Favour a running approach between the bunkers. It’s a fast putt from above the hole.

Pro Tip:
Looking towards the horizon the longer hitter can easily clear the left bunker. This contoured and well guarded green should see approach shots aimed toward the centre of the green with the front right being the safest bail-out area.

Pro Tip:
Take enough club to carry the bunkers in the front and you won’t be too far from the putting surface. Putts can be lightening fast from above the hole.

Pro Tip:
A tee shot down the left side of the fairway should cut a few paces off your day. Keep the second away from the mounding and you’ll have an easier approach to a green guarded by six bunkers.

Pro Tip:
A par 4 and a half! The approach should be played to the correct tier for an easier putt on this beautifully shaped green.

Pro Tip:
This is a tricky green which is guarded by three bunkers. A straight drive up the middle to split the bunkers is best for an ideal approach. Add 5 yards to make sure you avoid the traps up the front.
