Hole O’Cross (in)
This is one of the most demanding holes on the course, as both drive and approach require highly accurate shots.
The drive must find the chute of fairway between the “coffin” bunkers on the left and the rough on the right. But it must also stop short of the rough covered ridges bounding the right of, and then crossing over, the hole.
The second shot travels over an area of “no-man’s land” and must fly all the way to the putting surface. If the approach is played from the rough there will be little to prevent it running away over the huge double green, leaving a monstrous putt. A
second shot that is too cute could find a rough-filled depression, from where up-and-down is a tough ask.
