The drive on this hole requires careful thought. The actual fairway is very narrow, with bunkers and gorse threatening on the right. However, if the player can carry the ball 290 yards over a rough-covered mound, they can reach a far wider segment of fairway to the left side, shared with the 15th.
With the wind behind, most will opt for this route, but they must be mindful not to run too far and find the vast “Cottage” bunker – pitching out is the only option from there.
The approach shot must avoid a small knoll that protects the front middle of the green and testing bunkers left and right. The green slopes heavily
from back to front with run offs to the right and back. At 480 yards, players will be happy to walk away from here with a par.
