This is a three shot par 5, measured at 513 metres with a downhill tee shot to a long flat fairway. A stream crosses the fairway approximately 300 metres from the tee, which only comes into play for a small percentage of golfers. Be careful of the position of the tee block as it sets up aiming towards the left side so that it will catch anyone whose concentration is lapsing. There is a fairway bunker that guards the left hand side, while beautiful trees frame the right side of this hole. From the fairway you are then faced with in excess of 250 metres to the green, which makes reaching it in two shots quite unrealistic. The safe play would be to aim to the left hand side of the fairway with a long iron as anything right might find the large bunker, which makes for a difficult third shot. Once you have safely found the fairway for your second shot you will then be faced with a shot of about 100 metres to a green which sits an a slight angle. Three bunkers guard the left side while one sits at the back of the green, but seeing you have a short club in, these bunkers should not come into play. This hole is probably one of your better birdie opportunities on the course.
