OUT OF BOUNDS :
None, unless you go far too far and end up in the clubhouse bar taking you're next while ordering a drink.
BUNKERS :
2 Greenside bunkers. One crescent shaped one mid left and one right at the back. Watch out for the stone gulley in front of the green that is in play as you make your approach.
TREES :
There's a few to the left and right of the fairway. They tighten up the fairway at around the half way point. There's a few to the left and right of the green but none around the back to worry about.
TEE SHOT :
This one you have to take care with. Looking at it from the tee you can see it tighten significantly around the half way point of the hole so try to drill it through the middle to give you a good angle to the green down to the left.
APPROACH SHOT :
You can't get any ideas of running this onto the green because there's a gulley just in front of the green that guards the front so you have to take it in high. Watch out for the greenside bunkers that aren't visible as you go for it.
GREEN OVERVIEW :
Not too slopey this one. There's a slight uphill gradient from the front to the back. There's a slight dip at the very front of the green and there's an uphill camber at the back left and a slight downhill slope on the left hand side.
OVERALL TIPS :
You need to keep it out of the twigs on the first shot. If you want to get a decent angle to the green keep it slightly right. Try to get the drive as close to the green as the approach shot is very tricky as the green is hidden by a hill in front of the green and with perils surrounding the dance floor. The hole isn't that long. If you hit a decent tee shot it should be a short wedge to the green for the second which would give you a distinct chance of a birdie. If you go offline at all you could be in a bit of bother though so watch out for the dangers and play it safely here.
