The hole is a dog leg right. Off the tee it is crucial to either play safe and left, or try and carry the trees over the dogleg, whilst avoiding the fairway bunker on the left. This is a firm green which has a lot of undulation feeding off to the left.

Hole 15

 188m Par 3

Hole 17

357m Par 4

318m Par 4

1. A straight narrow driving hole. The fairway must be hit, or it will require coming out sideways due to the heavy trees which line the fairway left and right. The second shot is to an undulating green protected by two deep bunkers and hazard along the left of the green and behind it. Better to stay under the pin to be left with an uphill putt.

Hole 18
