BUNKERS :
3 Greenside. 1 slightly right of centre in front of the green then one that you can see to the right of the green and one that you can't see from the tee to the left of the green.
TREES :
Around the green there's not too many, just a few around the back of the green but it's when you're hitting it from the tee box that they come into play. They tighten up the line of vision as they come across in front of where you are teeing up from and you cannot see the left hand side of the green. They make this hole look fairly tricky.
TEE SHOT :
It's all downhill with a tight area to aim for with the trees which could help you as a guide rather than hinder but the distance is what you have to get right here. It's a tricky shot and it will take a bit of skill to find the green. Don't hit it too far or then you will be worrying about trees.
GREEN OVERVIEW :
It's a tricky enough green with a ridge in front that slopes straight up to the green which then slopes slightly downhill to the back with a slight hollow at the back right portion and then the green drops off another steepish ledge at the back. It's not too bad but there are some slopes there.
OVERALL TIPS :
Keep this one simple. Use the trees on your left as a guide and try to just hit it over them but depending on the wind strength try not to blast it too high because you could lose control of the ball. If you aim up properly and get the distance spot on you should have a chance of getting on the green but do take into account the severe drop from tee to green. The main dangers here are the bunkers in front of the green which make this green tricky to find especially as it's slightly raised on all sides and if you go slightly to far and can't get the brakes on the ball it will roll off the back. If you can get onto the green in one a birdie is a possibility but rather than this hole being extremely easy for scoring it's more of a hole that tests you but even though a birdie is tough and a par tricky, if you are an ok golfer you won't get crucified here.
