BUNKERS :
There's one right in driving range and also there's two on the approach to the green left and right.
TREES :
All over the place. The tee shot is tightened up by trees left and right encroaching the teebox then they hug the left and right of the fairway, the right hand side especially. Then around the green they are dense enough on the left and right hand sides but not so bad over the back.
TEE SHOT :
Another extremely tight tee shot. The key to this is to get some decent distance on the shot. Aim close to the bunker and you should be ok.
APPROACH SHOT :
This is deceptive hole. There is a dip just before the green that picks up plenty of approach shots if you try to run them through. Also it gives the impression that the green is closer than it actually is. Trust your yardage on this one.
GREEN OVERVIEW : The green slopes slightly from the top left hand side of the green as you approach it down to the bottom right. There are a few tricky puts here but you are better off keeping it on the front half the green to avoid a tricky breaking downhill putt.
OVERALL TIPS :
Try to play a fading shot aiming for the bunker. If you don't feel confident about the drive you are better missing the fairway left than right as it will give you a chance to at least laying up on the fairway as opposed to having to play through trees or spend a few minutes looking for your ball. The second shot is very deceptive so keep an eye on the distance markers and go off them rather than what you see. This is a very tricky hole.
