Course Tour Continued Hole 5, 369 yards, par 4 A great par 4. From wherever you play your second shot you have to aim left and let the ball kick down the green. All drives are thrown to the right by this slope, but the best view of the green is from the left. The green is the hardest on the course, allow more borrow than you think when putting. Hole 6, 278 yards, par 4 Despite being a short par 4, this hole is not to be underestimated. Respect it and you can make the birdie, attack it and you could make 7. Off the tee in matchplay you might have a go for the green but in stroke play a 5 wood or a 4 iron is the best option. Aim slightly left of the marker to allow for the slope. Your second shot should either be aggressive with a wedge or for the easier option a chip and run with a 7 or 8 iron down the slope. Hole 7, 128 yards, par 4 Club selection is most important on our shortest hole. The long thin green lies across you and is protected by bunkers. When the pin is at the back you might need three extra clubs. Just make a good swing. Hole 8, 468 yards, par 4 A long and testing par 4. With the fairway sloping from right to left the best drive is to the right-hand side. The second shot, generally assisted by the prevailing wind is not as long as it seems because the ball will roll on to the green from the right-hand side.
