HOLE GUIDE
TEE SHOT : It's all uphill. It's relatively steep so aim left and try to draw it onto the fairway. Try to keep it on the left side as there is a dipped plateau on the right hald of the fairway.
APPROACH SHOT : Again it's uphill. There's a few bumps on the fairway so go with the distance book on this one. Make sure to allow for the hill but the entrance to green is pretty wide although the rough does cut in for those who want to run it through.THE GREEN : It's an hourglass shaped slopey green with a very quick surface and plenty breaks. It's a putt that you should study closely.
OVERALL TIPS : Keep the tee shot high and make sure to add a few extra yards. This can be a tricky hole if you go off centre due to the hill and the tricky green. Make sure to keep it tidy and watch the lightening quick green. A par's a possibility here.
OBSTACLES
Out Of Bounds : If you go a bit too far to the left you'll be over the fence and out of bounds. You'll actually be doing a pretty good job to find it as it's a fair hit up the hill from the tee. Off your second or subsequent shots you could bring it into play if you make an absolute disaster but really it shouldn't cause you too many hassles here.
