“Strong par-4 especially if into the wind. Bunkers down the left have to be avoided, as you would need an exceptionally good lie to reach the green. There is one bunker down the right, which can be carried if conditions are favourable, leaving a 7 or 8 iron into the elevated green. If it is into the wind, it is a difficult tee shot between the bunkers, leaving a long iron to the green. Two bunkers on the right of the green are fine to play from if a decent lie, whilst there are run-offs on the left and over the back of the green, plus a bit of a false front which adds difficulty. The typical pin at the back of the green is difficult to get to, but it is worth taking it on. A miss left or long can be an awkward chip and putt, but you still have a good chance of getting up and down. There have not been a lot of birdies at this hole over the years. A solid par-4 18th hole, where you are very content making a par,” – Padraig Harrington
