BUNKERS : 1 Large one that will get you if you drive up the left. A decent size one on both sides of the green at the entrance with a pot style bunker in the back right hand side of the green.
TREES :
Again, keeping with the style of the course there's trees all the way left and right. The trees are dense enough on the right hand side with the left being relatively sparse. Out the back of the green it's not too bad but there's still some trees back there for those who overcook it.
TEE SHOT :
Drive it straight enough and don't go taking on the bunker on the left or the trees on the right. A decent drive here will take you up to the road and this should give you a nice pitch onto the green from here. This is a birdieable hole if it's played well.
APPROACH SHOT :
There's a tight enough entrance to the green with bunkers shielding front left and right. Keep it high and let it attack the pin.
GREEN OVERVIEW :
The green is divided with a ridge in the middle. The lower part of the green is at the front and the top half is at the back. As you look at from the front there is a noticable right to left bias on the hill also so that would mean that front left would be the place to go for a straight putt if the hole is in the middle of the green.
OVERALL TIPS :
Have a crack at this. There's room there if you need leeway for a full power shot. If you let loose and blast over the fairway bunker your looking at a nice pitch into the green. Take on the pin as if you are left with a long putt it could be tricky. Don't take on the trees on the right of the fairway and keep it as straight as possible.Watch out for the greenside bunkers also.
