TREES :
None
TEE SHOT :
It's a handy enough tee shot on a calm day but it could be tricky enough into the wind. The slightly uphill gradient gives you a blind shot to the fairway. The key is you should just keep it straight off the tee. If you get a fair bit of distance off the tee you can get a high iron or a wedge to the green.
APPROACH SHOT :This could be from anywhere depending on the tee shot but you shouldn't be coming in here with more than a 6 iron. Naturally you will want to have a good view of the green before you have a crack at it and if you hit the wrong spot with the drive you could end up hitting in here blind although that's unlikely. It's all uphill though so it's going to be tricky enough. Mind the bunkers here because they guard the green very well.
GREEN OVERVIEW :
Another lovely green that has only a slight uphill gradient from the front to back. It really is a case of aiming at the hole and maybe adjust by mere fractions depending on what you can see. If you hit it ok it will go in.
OVERALL TIPS :
After the last few holes you could be forgiven for thinking here we go again but don't worry, this is a shortish hole to give you a nice chance to grab a par here. The drive is all uphill and can prove tricky into the wind but the distance of the hole could mean that even with a relatively short drive you could still get a shot to the green. The second shot is uphill so you have to take that into account. Try to take out the bunkers by perhaps using the wind and setting it in high with a club extra to the green. You may get away with that. Once on you should be able to two putt from there to grab a par.
