You will have a full view of this hole standing on the tee, a short carry over the gorse and broom in front of the tee will put you nicely on the fairway. Recent changes to the fairway bunkering on this hole have had a strong visual impact on the hole. The bunkers start on the right at approx. 280 yards from the back tee and cross the fairway at different distances. For your second, or approach shot, you will not be able to see the bottom of the flag as the green slopes from right to left and is above the player. Another fast green that will test the reading skills of the best putters.

A great driving hole but longer hitters need to take care to avoid the new pair of pot bunkers on the right at driving distance. Your approach shot to this green will need to be very well judged if the ball is to finish close to the flag on this steeply sloping green. A big swing from top right to back left means a rolling ball can sweep across and through the green.

Some may call this the signature hole as it is one of the most memorable. The river !!! flows across and along the right hand side of this par 3. Many players are intimidated by the river and hit left but miss this green left and you will be faced by a bunker shot or pitch onto fast steep sloping green running away from you down towards the river. A new back tee extension was built in 2007 adding approx. 10 yards, or one extra club to the hole. The angle of play is more from the left on the new tee giving the right handed player the feel that a draw is needed to avoid the Alder trees beside the stream. Look out for walkers crossing the hole on the bridle path and please let them cross.
