WATER :
There's a stream that snakes across the left hand side of the fairway accross the layup area about 70 yards before the green and exits to the right of that and heads off in front of the 13th.
OUT OF BOUNDS :
None
BUNKERS :
4 Bunkers here. There's one fairway bunker about 130-160 yards off the tees to the right of the fairway. There are 3 greenside bunkers. 2 small ones front left and back left and a relatively large one mid right.
TREES :
All the way up the left and there's a few down the right hand side also. The main one you have to worry about is the one in the middle of the fairway about 150 yards from the tee. There's another on the right hand side where you may want to lay it up.
TEE SHOT :
This is a very risky tee shot. The best way to get the most of the tee shot is to attack the fairway by trying to fly the bunker right of the tree. It's a pretty blind tee shot so just use the bunker as a guide. Don't go too left or you could end up in the stream.
APPROACH SHOT :
This is going to be very tricky shot. You'll have a relatively long uphill second shot that you have to try to find a very tight green that will be extremely difficult to find.
GREEN OVERVIEW :
It's not the worst green, it's relatively flat but it does drop away on the right hand side but the green is very small and is surrounded by bunkers with the large drop off the sides so watch the putts here.
OVERALL TIPS :
You need to get distance from the tee shot. Keep it right if you want to have a decent shot into the green. It might be handy to note but if you miss the fairway off to the right you might end up with a shot that's pin high or close to it. Once you do look at the 2nd shot then judge it yourself. You may be wiser to lay up to make sure that you don't end up swimming. The green is very tricky to land on as it's up a steep incline and not for the feint hearted. If you can get a par here thank your lucky stars.
