WATER :
Just in front of the tee box. It shouldn't come into play but it certainly catches your attention when you step up to the tee. Any laps in concentration will be threatening the ducks and the swans.
OUT OF BOUNDS :
None
BUNKERS :
One Fairway bunker that's well placed to catch out any drive that sneaks left at the landing area. It can be bypassed with a semi-decent drive though. The three greenside bunkers will come into play so accuracy and distance is very important here.
TREES :
Again, all the way up the right and all the way up the left. There's a bit of a clearing around the green and there are a few trees behind the hole. Overall it's the tee shot that will trouble the trees.
TEE SHOT :
Keep the blinkers away from the water and keep it long and left if you have to. If your going to stray offline right make sure that it's well right as if you far enough over the trees you may actually have a shot to the green or worst case scenario you can lay up to the right of the green with an ok pitch to come instead of hacking through a decent bunch of trees.
APPROACH SHOT :
Mind the bunkers towards the front of the green. The back one shouldn't come into play unless you get the yardage completely off kilter. The green is raised and you should be getting some breeze here as the green is open enough so take these into account.
GREEN OVERVIEW :
There's a serious dip downhill at the front of the green but rest of it is level enough. There's a slight ridge on the left side of the green by the bunker but it just needs a bit of watching.
OVERALL TIPS : Blast it over the bunker and try to keep it right of centre. Don't even think about the water or else you'll ruin the shot. When going for the green make sure to take into account the wind. Try not to leave the shot short as it will leave a tricky putt. Also be very careful not to overrun a downhill putt as you may be pitching the next.
