West Course

The line off the tee is just to the right of the bunkers that guard the left hand side of the fairway. It would take two very long shots to go for the green so the lay up shot should be played well to the left hand side to avoid more fairway sand traps.

As this hole is downhill it may play slightly shorter than the yardage suggests but make a note of the pin position as this green is quite long and it will also effect your club selection.

Make sure you are aware of the bunkers on the right hand side of the fairway. Although the deep bunker on the front left of the green needs avoiding the big mistake here is to hit the ball too long as it will lead to a tricky downhill shot. Front right of the green is the safe shot.

Right of the fairway bunker is the usual line although strong hitters may be able to carry it over the bunker therefore cutting the corner, but it has the risk of bringing the out of bounds into play. All approach shots tend to bounce left here so aim for the right hand side of the green.

The ideal line is between the two bunkers you can see guarding both sides of the fairway but reasonable hitters may run out of fairway so consider a shorter club off the tee. This is another tricky green that requires careful club selection to avoid a three putt.

One of the hardest greens to putt on if your tee shot finishes on the wrong section, if the pin is on the right hand side do not aim for the left hand area. Also any ball that is hit long here will leave a very difficult shot.

Your drive needs to be aimed just to the right of the trees you can see over the brow of the hill. The stream that crosses the fairway will be a factor in your lay up shot, you will have to decide weather you can carry it or ply short. The green is sloped from right to left.

Aim you tee shot just right of the fairway bunkers. Bunker at the front right of the green should be avoided, better to be slightly long.

This is not a long hole but the water on the left places a premium on accuracy off the tee. However if you do hit the ball straight and long your reward will be an approach shot that does not have to be hit over water.

Think about club selection off the tee as it is easy to run out of fairway also it is reasonably narrow a shorter club to tee off with is sensible. You line is the stonewall in the distance.

Left hand side of the green is the safe play.

The line of the tee is between both sets of trees either side of the fairway, although being slightly left is safer and does help to open up your approach shot.

The ideal line is just straight between the two sets of fairway bunkers; the bunker on the right can be carried by a reasonable drive. Although three bunkers guard the front of this green being long here will prove a very difficult recovery.

Aim left of the fairway bunkers off the tee. A ball hit long of the pin will leave a very difficult downhill shot.

The longer you hit the ball the narrower the fairway gets and it also falls off steeply on the right hand side, so hitting the drive with a shorter club to gain accuracy is worth considering. A lot of people tend to under hit their approach shots to this green.

A good hitter can carry the bunkers on the left but the usual line off the tee is to aim at the right hand side bunker. Three more fairway bunkers will mean you have to decide to carry them or lay up short of them. If you lay up short aim for the left hand side of the fairway as it gives a better approach to the green, if you try to carry them you will have to aim for the right hand side.

This par three plays shorter than the yardage suggests. Accuracy is the only way to deal with this tricky green, but short and right gives the best chance of a chip and putt if a mistake is made.

The line off the tee is between the two big trees. Be careful of the fairway bunker on the right hand side with your lay up shot. Long and slightly right gives the best margin of error.
