An accurate tee shot is required to begin this Par 4 in order to avoid the fairway bunkers either side. The real challenge of this hole is the approach shot which is played uphill to a semi-blind green. Taking an extra club is advised here with two extremely deep bunkers awaiting any approaches hit short right. A pulled approach compensating for this will find the runoff to the left of the green. A four is a great score here.

Pro's tip
Open the shoulders on this hole it’s the second shot you have to be careful as it’s blind. Take an extra club to avoid the bunkers at the front of the green.
