At stroke index 17 and 18 this presents the best birdie
chance on the
course.
Two quite distinct tees some 36 yards apart but for the long
drivers the green is reachable from either, providing you are
prepared to take on the rough, 200 yards - all carry!
This hole is characterized by the narrowness of the fairway,
barely 15 yards across in parts and punishing rough either side.
The green is largely flat but is protected by low mounds. The
choice facing most players will be to float a pitch or to chip
and run.
Tip: missing the fairway on the left can be far more penal than
on the right. Several drains, all integral parts of the course,
criss-cross the course and keep the dense clumps of reeds well
watered.
