This hole is quite different from the Open tee – 50 yards longer than off the whites and requiring two solid blows. The line for the drive is just to the right of “Cheape” bunker: now a viable threat, some 300 yards out. A gentle fade of the edge of that bunker is the perfect shot. Smatterings of gorse await though if a tee shot is leaked too far to the right side.
Two bunkers have been moved closer to the right side of this green and three bunkers wait short and left for a mishit or pulled approach.
The green is heavily undulating with options for some testing pin positions. Find the wrong section
of this putting surface and a player could face a “Himalayas” style test. This is one to be navigated with precision and care but, if done so, should be reasonably straightforward.
