Par 5, 653 yards
This long par-5 is a slight dogleg to the left and is one of the toughest holes on the course. Fairway bunkers mean the landing area off the tee is rather narrow but once on the fairway the hole can be seen as a birdie opportunity. Heavy rough and an abundance of trees are ready to grab any shot which strays off the fairway for the second shot. Many players will select an iron to lay up and avoid such dangers and play a short pitch for their third to another well-protected undulating green.
