For long hitters on a good day it is possible to drive the green on this hole. Even for the higher handicapper it is a good chance to get a shot back and maybe even a birdie. Take care to miss the new bunkers on the right side of the fairway and the one to the left of the green. Take your time to check the flag position as this green has a sharp step up to the right side.

A well-protected par three with out of bounds right and trees on the left. Depending on the weather conditions you may take a wedge or even a 5 iron.

A good tee-shot here is vital, again not necessary to hit your driver. Trees protect the fairway left and right, beware of the tree placed in the centre of the fairway, long hitters will easily go over but those of us who are not too long may want to place our tee shot left of this tree. The fairway slopes from left to right.

Keep your tee shot down the left-hand side of the fairway as this will open up the green for your approach shot. Don't be long at this hole. A drive to the right will be in trouble due to a cluster of trees. If you are over on the right side it will be difficult to see the green for your second shot.

A long par 4, and with the out-of-bounds course boundary running along the left side from tee to green, this hole favours a fade from the tee. A long second shot awaits. If you find the green in two, you have done well - take two putts on this large green, walk away with a four and you can be very pleased with yourself.

A possible card wrecker, the elevated tee gives you a fantastic view of what's ahead and course management is essential here. Drive down the slope, avoiding the stream and out-of-bounds on the left and the tree-lined right hand side, to a fairway that inevitably leaves you with a tricky lie. Good players may only hit a 5 iron off the tee, as this will provide you with an even lie. Beware long hitters, if the wind is behind you can drive your ball into the stream in the valley. The second shot, over the stream to an elevated, well-bunkered green requires careful planning. Good luck!
