The Course

Hole By Hole

Trickiest Hole	3rd - At the third you have to drive over a lateral water hazard from an elevated tee ( after a pause to admire the view and take a photograph). Too far left and you are in amongst the gorse; too far right and you can be in the thick rough. Bunkers also lie in wait up toward the green. After a good drive an accurate wedge should give you the chance of a birdie. If a stiff westerly is blowing, the carry from the tee can look intimidating. A beautiful hole, but always a challenge.
Toughest Hole	1st - The hole doglegs left, but it is best played straight down the middle to avoid the wood on the left. If you carry the roadway an 8 iron should suffice to the green, but if the drive is played out right for safety, the second shot could be a tricky long iron to an elevated green. Vijay Singh drove the green when he played here. Anyone think they can match that?
Favourite Hole	5th - A dogleg left, where accuracy is more important than length. A drive over the edge of the rocks will leave you with a short iron to the green, but the more cautious will play a long iron off the tee. Be sure to leave your approach below the hole, as an overhit approach can result in a lost ball, and a downhill put from the back of this green will need to be perfect or three puts will surely be the result.
