Melbourne Sandbelt and The Mornington Peninsula VIC | 9 nights, 7 games

A long, accurate drive is required on this straight par four. Heavy rough and fairway bunkers make the first shot most demanding. An excellent starting hole.

A well placed tee shot will leave only a short, uninterrupted pitch to the green. However, heavy timber on the left could spell trouble for any wayward shots or shortcut attempts. Accuracy, not distance, is the key.

This is the shortest par four on the course. Most players will be looking for birdies here, but the terraced green is very undulating and could turn a potential one-putt into three.

The fairway is wide open, but a drive to the left affords the best approach to the heavily bunkered green. Once again, the green has many undulations and slopes from back to front.

Although this is the longest par three on the course, it is a fairly straightforward hole. There are plenty of sand traps on both sides, but the size of the green provides reasonable margin for error off the tee.

A difficult par four requiring a long drive and a long second shot. A string of bunkers waits to snare any approach straying right, although the area around the green itself is fairly clear.

The par five seventh hole is a definite birdie or eagle chance. Drive down the left centre of the fairway, short of the cross bunker. I favour a fairway wood or long iron to pass the small swale at the entrance of the green. Any shot short of the swale is very difficult to judge.

Another long par four requiring placement off the tee. The drive must be kept left to open up the green and avoid fairway traps and rough on the corner of the dogleg. The green is severely bunkered on the left.

A relief, but accuracy is essential. Many will use an iron from the tee. The green slopes from left to right and is virtually surrounded by bunkers and thick bush.

There should be plenty of birdies on this short hole, but any misdirected shots will finish in either heavy rough or one of the numerous bunkers, which surround the green.

This hole has many pitfalls. Fairway bunkers just over 200 metres from the tee, heavy timber on either side, and an out of bounds behind the narrow green. There will be more bogeys than birdies on this tough hole.

A solid par 5, and a real birdie chance with three well executed shots. However, the players, who take the shortest line along the left, must contend with fairway traps, thick timber, and an out of bounds.

Another potential birdie opportunity, but again the tee shot should be well placed. Any shot hit to the right will leave a more difficult approach over bunkers to the small green.

The longest hole, where birdies will be scarce. Bunkers 45 metres short of the green leave little opening for long hitters attempt to get close in two. An out of bounds left and behind the green provides an additional mental hazard.

This hole is considered by many to be one of the best par three's in Australia. The very narrow green is protected by deep bunkers on both sides and slopes sharply from back to front.

The first of a trio of great finishing par four's. This hole doglegs right with a large number of bunkers perfectly placed to deter or challenge long hitters. The extremely fast, sloping green requires a delicate putting touch.

An extremely difficult par four, particularly if the wind is blowing from the north. Any shot hooked to the left is 'dead', and the huge, sloping putting surface will produce many three-putts.

An accurate long iron approach is required to set up a par on this hole. The green is guarded by traps on both sides and like the previous 17, has many rolls and borrows.

A solid drive will leave a short iron or pitch but it’s a dangerous gamble as your first shot of the day. The more conservative play with a long iron or hybrid will avoid most of the trouble but leave the more difficult mid iron to an elevated green. If in doubt, playing a little left with your approach takes advantage of a handy backstop, funnelling the ball back onto the putting surface.

One of the most picturesque holes on the North, the shot across the valley to a green set into a large dune has some similarities to the famous 5th hole on Royal Melbourne’s West Course. The most important yardage here is to the front edge of the green, and the dilemma when the greens are firm is deciding how close to flirt with it. Land just a few feet short and your ball will finish at the bottom of the slope some 30 metres from the green. Play too boldly and you’ll be lucky to hold the green.

An aggressive drive and the reward is a shorter shot and full view of the green, but a bad swing and you can easily find either of the left bunkers or worse still, end up playing another. Laying up further back in the fairway takes full advantage of the wide fairway, but the view to the green and the short hazards will be blind.

The tee shot on the 4th must be threaded between the sandy waste on the left and bunkers down the right. It looks much narrower and more difficult than it actually is, and for shorter hitters, the fairway is at least 40m wide, only narrowing where the longer hitters drive their ball. The new green here is receptive to running shots played out to the right, with slopes helping shoulder a ball toward the middle of the green. Only when the flag is tucked in the left corner does the player need to take the more attacking line directly over the bunker.

The tee shot on the 5th is like no other on the sandbelt; a thrilling drive through a valley with steep banks on either side. The fairway is wider both short and long of the valley making for an interesting decision from the tee. This par five is easily reachable for those who can drive beyond the valley but for those needing an extra shot or two, its best to hug the left side of the fairway for an easier pitch to the green. To the right the fairway drops off into a bowl leaving a difficult uphill pitch across a deep greenside bunker.

The 6th is the first of the drivable par fours on the North course and this one is somewhat unique for the sandbelt as it plays fairly steeply uphill. There are a multitude of options from the tee depending on how you feel on the day. Short of the bunkers, up the narrow tongue of fairway left, safely out to the right and away from the hazards, or attempt a thrilling drive across the sand. Each will result in a slightly different approach – sometimes easier or sometimes harder depending on the pin position of the day. The challenge is to figure out what works best for you.

The 7th is one of the highest parts of the property and among the most picturesque tee shots on the North course. Aiming for the widest part of the green on the right is generally the best play here with only the bravest (or silliest) taking dead aim when the pin is tucked in the left corner. Surrounded by deep bunkers and a cavernous hollow over the back, anywhere on the dance floor is often a great result here.

Many of the world’s great short par fours feature a penal hazard which one must flirt with to gain an advantage, and here we find perhaps the biggest, deepest, angriest hazard on the course. There is an abundance of fairway to the right but the angle into the green makes for a more difficult pitch from here. In the right conditions, some will choose to try and carry all the trouble to finish on or around the green and leave a relatively simple up and down for birdie. For those who can’t make that sort of carry, a small bump just right of the big hazard can help funnel a running ball further around to the left, leaving a fairly straight forward pitch.

The 9th begins the most difficult stretch of holes on the North. This long par four has been stretched as part of the redesign and will require your best two shots to find the green. The best line off the tee is close to the sand down the right, leaving a slightly more friendly angle into the green.

Back to back strong par fours at 9 and 10 and here we have one of the narrowest and most difficult tee shots to boot! This green is loosely based on a “redan”, a design concept where the putting surface tips from front to back and right to left and tends to reward those who can bounce or run the ball into the green. The most difficult pins here are at the front where the player must land their shot well short and on a small flat spot close to the bunkers on the right. From the very back tees, this hole measures 465 metres…so can be played as a par five on occasions for members or the strongest of par fours in tournament play.

A long sandy waste up the left and a cluster of bunkers at around 240 metres on the right generally takes the driver out of the hands of the longer hitters. The approach plays to one of our favourite greens on the property. The smart play is to land short with a running shot and allow the contours to funnel the ball towards the middle of the green.

The “hogsback” is a wonderful feature in golf course design and, whilst not that common in Australia, we are lucky to have a few within a few hundred metres of each other…one here, another on the 8th South and then again next door at Long Island on their fabulous 8th hole. The hogsback rises at around 210m from the tee and extends all the way to the green. Tee shots short of this are relatively simple as the fairway is wide and fairly flat but it leaves a long, difficult second. With a well struck driver or 3 wood, those wishing to take on the domed fairway will enjoy a significantly shorter second but the risks of finishing in rough or sand are high and a certain bogey awaits.

Much like the 12th hole, the tee shot here becomes riskier the more club you take. For most, the best play is a long iron or hybrid, with the angle a little better from the left side of the fairway than the right. The pitch can be a difficult one when the wind is gusting with deep bunkers on most sides and a putting surface tilted strongly from back right to front left.

The North course is blessed with some beautiful backdrops on the short holes, and this one, whilst the flattest is no exception, surrounded by an amazing expanse of heath and sand. A lot has changed here since I first joined as a 15 year old. Back then, pine trees covered the hill behind the green and trees lined both sides of the hole. There was little in the way of any heathland or sand, and the trees were so thick it was like someone had turned off the lights as you walked down the fairway. With careful tree removal and some encouragement of the heathland plants and grasses which originally covered much of the site, we were able to return this ground to what it once was and give the 14th its unique look.

A largely blind tee shot plays over a ridge which runs across the fairway, but it opens up a great looking second. There is some nice visual trickery at play with the second shot as the bunker on the corner of the dogleg merges with greenside bunkers and those around the 9th green, making it appear like there is more trouble (and less room) than there actually is. The best line is over the bunker on the dogleg which opens up an easier approach, especially when the pin is tucked in the right corner.

The 16th is best played left to right. The safe play is a little left of centre where a small mound helps nudge a ball towards the middle of the green. The most difficult pin is far right and over the large bunker. To get close, one must take dead aim over all the trouble

At 550 metres, the penultimate hole is the longest on the property and is a legitimate three shot hole for practically everyone. Two huge bunkers guard the preferred line from the tee and the reward for playing over these is a clear view of the green and a much shorter shot. The green is a tricky one with the hollow at the front difficult to see from the fairway and easy to hit into, making for a difficult up and down. Bogeys are plentiful from down here!

The tee shot at the last gives no hint to what lies around the corner…perhaps the most photogenic approach on the property, with the green sitting at the base of a huge natural amphitheater and framed by bunkers and heath. The longest hitters will try and drive the corner bunker and leave a short pitch, but plenty of trouble awaits anything off-line. I quite like playing a shorter tee shot with a 3 or 4 iron. The slopes help funnel the ball close to the corner bunker and it eliminates virtually all risk and leaves an 8 or 9 iron with a great angle when the pin is over on the right.

The tee shot should be played right of the fairway bunker on the left. The second shot to an open green requires a long iron or fairway wood.

One of the most picturesque holes on the course. The hole is heavily bunkered and the green moderately contoured. Anything not landing on the green will bring about a tough second shot.

A two-tiered green sloping from left to right requires a tee shot to be played into the right hand side of the fairway. Such positioning opens up the second shot to the green. However, the greenside bunkers on the left is one to stay away from.

A fairway bunker jutting out from the right side of the fairway requires a tee shot down the left. The second shot should be played short of the bunkers, allowing a pitch to a slightly elevated green. This hole favours the long hitters.

Another hole made more difficult by the addition of a new championship tee. Two deep fairway bunkers are right in play down the left side of the driving area, the right hand fairway bunker is of little concern. The green features a huge slope off the shoulder of the right hand greenside bunker and if the flag is in the right half of the green an approach from the left half of the fairway - usually with a short or mid iron - is ideal. Widely regarded as one of the classic holes on the course.

The 6th is the second of three front nine par fives and the player must drive to the far left side of the dogleg if an approach over the huge gum trees that block both the shot and view down to the green is to be avoided. Jack Nicklaus, famously, carried the fairway bunker that stretches across the left half of the fairway (270 metres) with a driver and a small ball in the 1967 Australian P.G.A Championship. The green and surrounds have been redesigned, the new cavernous bunkers and heavily contoured green require skilled shotmaking whether from a long second or short third shot.

The longest par three on the course is characterized by a generous green sloping from the top right to the bottom left from the tee. A long iron or wood is required.

A big fairway bunker has to be negotiated with the drive. The second shot should be placed on the right side of the fairway, which makes the approach considerably easier as the green slopes from left to right.

A perfect hole to drag out that tired old story of "when I was your age I could drive it across those trees". In 1968 Nicklaus flew it over the corner trees on this sharp dogleg right with a three wood and hit a wedge to the green for four straight days but "the trees were only so high when I was your age". They have grown up so tall now it's impossible to pull that shot off. Most play down to the corner with a long iron or a three wood and if the driver comes out it has to be perfectly faded around the corner or it runs through the fairway. The second shot can vary between a four iron down to an eight or nine. This is the most beautifully contoured and shaped green on the golf course - being on in two is no guarantee of a par.

A long dogleg left plays all of its length. The hole requires two good shots to reach the large green in two.

A testing par three. The green slopes diagonally as you look at it from the tee-box. The tee shot should be directed towards the left part of the green. Play conservatively.

Off the tee, the ideal position is the centre right part of the fairway to avoid sand traps on the left. The second shot should be played to the right side of the green, taking the front bunkers out of play.

Playing to a large, well bunkered green, a shot to the middle of the putting surface is desirable. if you miss the green, be prepared for a tough up and down.

A dogleg left as well as fairway bunkers on that side demand a shot to the right of the fairway off the tee. From there the second shot should be played to within pitching distance of the green with a chance for birdie. This hole favours the long hitters.

This is probably the most difficult of Metropolitan's par fours and again the strategy is simple and clear. A long bunker with a high lip sits into the left side of the fairway and a green that angles from its front left corner to the back right clearly favours an approach from close to the fairway bunker. A greenside bunker closes off the flag for those approaching from the right and only a big high fade will get the job done for those who fly their drives too far to the right.

This short par four doglegs sharply right around several deep fairway bunkers that have proved pivotal in deciding at least two Australian Opens. Bob Shearer in 1979 and Ian Baker-Finch in 1986 both drove into the bunkers and made killer bogeys that cost them their chance in those tournaments. Some can drive far enough to reach the green but it's almost impossible to keep such a long shot on the small sloping green. Often the pin placement dictates the best place to play to from the tee with the most difficult pin to get close to being behind the front right bunker, when the flag is there it's often easier to approach from 70 metres than it is from 30. A wonderful example of how great a well designed short par four can be.

A single deep bunker that is almost impossible to hit the green from, sits in the left side of the driving area. It's the one place not to go. Some curiously sited trees (but favorites of the members) 60 metres short of the green make for a blind second for those who have driven to the right, although that is the only effect they have in the play of the hole. The green is relatively large, not in truth that difficult to hit and only when the pin is tucked close to the bunkers do they have much influence on the approach.

The championship tee added for the 1997 Australian Open stretched this hole out to 433 metres and into a wind from the north it's a brutally difficult hole. The hole is actually dead straight and it is the blocked drive that is caught by the fairway bunkers down the right, but when the flag is on the left of the green it's clearly best to approach from close to the bunkers. In the 1979 Australian Open, Greg Norman hit two terrific shots, the second with a five iron, just under the tier of the two level green and then three putted to lose by one to Jack Newton. Eighteen years later in 1997, from almost exactly the same spot, Norman three putted in the playoff with Lee Westwood to lose the Open again.

A good open driving hole, this presents a wide area leading up to a big green with little danger. But it's a deceptive hole, with a hooked tee shot leading to danger in unplayable trees on the left. A deep trap on the right of the green, plus a grassy mound and deep rough on the left, makes it a little deceptive. A hard par four and not a lot of birdies.

A fast sloping green stands between a par and a possible eagle as this hole can be reached in two. There's plenty of room for the drive and a long iron can put big hitters on the green if they carry the bunkers guarding the entrance to the hole. Hitting too far left will find some thick ti-tree or maybe heavy rough - or the deep bunker.

This is a real birdie chance, with a good drive able to set up a comfortable approach pitch. But beware - the green slopes down over the back and it's easy to finish well past the pin. Bunkers on the left are dangerous, but it's an open approach.

A tough hole that is a good par if achieved. The drive goes over a hill, with fairway bunkers looming for the short shot. A wood or long iron approach must be straight, as bunkers on either side of the green are trouble.

Accuracy and the right choice of club makes this a superb par three hole. A middle iron is needed to cross a valley to the green, heavily fortified with bunkers. The fast green has a steep slope from front to back and is a tricky test.

Rated as the most difficult green on the course, the early shots are crucial. A sharp dog leg makes it vital that the tee shot carries a minimum of 200-metres across dense rough and fairway traps, in order to leave the ball in the right position. The elevated green slopes towards the front and produces many three putts.

A deceptively easy-looking hole where club selection is vital. The tee shot must be well-placed, with the narrow green and difficult undulations making long putts tough. It goes uphill from the tee, with plenty of bunkers, especially for those who over-shoot the green.

The 8th Hole is a deceptive Par 4 that requires a well judged second shot, to a flat green, that slopes towards the back bunkers.

The 9th Hole is a testing Par 4, uphill to the green, well bunkered on both sides.

A tempting hole for the big hitters, especially if they attack the pin by cutting the corner. But that's where the danger is, as the sand bunker is huge and a miss can be penalised. It's short, but suits the disciplined players who go the right way around. But watch the long drivers tackle that corner!

A deceptive hole that tempts the big hitters who challenge the fairway trap and rough on the left as they go direct. A second shot to a sloping green is a long haul and must be accurate, with bunkers guarding the entrance. A drive and a four iron can still produce many bogies.

A lengthy fairway which requires a couple of long shots, especially off the tee where some early bunkers await the strong hitters. This modified par four becomes difficult into the northerly wind.

The 13th Hole is a challenging short Par 3, with a pitched green making it difficult to get close to the pin.

The 14th Hole is a very good Par 4 with the green sloping right to left, making it hard to get close to the pin.

The 15th Hole is a short but tricky Par 5 which can be reached with an iron. The green slopes sharply to the front.

An extremely tough Par 3 noted for its extensive bunkers and small green. Woods are often required from the tee, however don't overplay, lay up short to find an easier approach.

Again two long shots are required, with the drive passing some bunkers on the left-hand side of the fairway. It's a tight driving hole and the second shot to a modified green needs a mid to short iron depending on the wind. Dangerous traps on the right make for a straight approach.

This is a pleasant-looking hole, but full of danger. A dog-leg to the right means the drive must carry upwards and over 200-metres to present an approach shot from a downhill lie. The green looks awesome, well-protected by bunkers, but a good eight iron lobbed nicely will pay dividends.

A well-hit tee shot could skip between bunkers and roll to a stop very close to the flagstick. Any tee shot landing short will either bounce into sand or require a deft high pitch to an undulating putting surface.

Aiming left of the 3 fairway bunkers makes sense on this hole; however, long tee shots often run through the fairway into trouble. When the tee markers are forward a three wood is a good selection.

A difficult par four, with bunkers on the both sides of the fairway which will snare any shot that strays from the tees. About 160 metres from the back of the right fairway bunker to a green with a narrow opening.

A tightly bunkered one-shotter to a heavily sloping green, protected by gaping bunkers. Most balls finish short on this hole in the front bunker.

Playing this hole at its full length means the fairway bunker is out of reach for most players. A left to right second shot is the best option if the green is within range.

A difficult par four which needs a long and straight tee shot to avoid thick trees on the right and sand on the left. From the start of the first bunker on the left there are about 190 metres to the centre of a heavily trapped green.

A challenging par three. Usually a shot hit to the left of the green will bounce and swing to the centre of the putting surface. A deep bunker guards the right-hand side of the green.

Long hitters find a very narrow landing area on the 8th, however the temptation is always there as the green is reachable in two shots.

Players capable of carrying the hill with their second shots enjoy a huge advantage on this hole. For many players four shots are needed. Fairway bunkers are severe on both sides.

Bend your tee shot to the left on this par four to avoid deep bunkers at the corner of this slight dog-leg. From here the second shot is about 125 metres from a bushy tree at the right of the fairway to an elevated and well bunkered green.

A difficult two-shotter, through an avenue of trees slightly to the right, with lots of trouble along that side of the fairway. The second shot is slightly uphill to a heavily trapped and tricky green.

At its full length this hole is best played as a par 5 by most golfers. From the forward markers in favourable conditions the fairway bunkers can be carried reducing the hole to a wedge second.

This par four requires a tee shot hit over a crest, with a second shot from a downhill lie. The bunker at the right of the fairway is some 185 metres to a ridge on the green.

This par three is the easiest hole on the course (in theory) and should bring some breathing space. However, it requires difficult uphill play to a heavily trapped green that contains many vicious rolls. A difficult short hole.

A very short par four that can be reached in one with a tee shot aimed right of centre. The ball will kick left from there towards the green. There are trees on the right and a stray shot will also be snared by bunkers along the left.

A par three which is usually affected by the wind. The conditions will determine a long iron or a wood which must be struck uphill boldly to avoid trouble all around the green.

A dog-leg par five which curves to the right and requires three good hits to a very fast putting surface with a tricky borrow. Avoid the fairway bunkers on both sides, the closest of which is some 140 metres to the left-hand side of the green.

This par five offers the golfer the chance to finish with a birdie four. However, strategically placed bunkers catch many tee and second shots. The green falls sharply from right to left and may require several putts.

This hole is a mid length par 4 whereby keeping a line left of the distant cypress trees, you can cut the corner off the fairway.

The second shot on this hole is at least one more club than the yardage would suggest, and into the wind possibly two or three more clubs.

Play this shot straight at the pin, don't go left and right.

This short par 4 has plenty of room to the left with the drive, however a drive played left will leave a difficult second shot. The best line is straight over the bunkers.

Don't let the dune put you off on this par 5. The carry is only 140 metres from the back tee to a big wide valley. The best line is directly over the white stone.

This par 3 has a large green and down wind plays a short 200 metres. The best line for this hole is down the left edge.

This is the last of the blind drive holes. Drive over the hill into the huge valley which leaves a big bail out area for the second shot to the right. Playing this line however will leave you with a tough pitch.

Off the tee hit as far as possible.

This part 4 has a big dogleg to the left, so aim just to the right of the fairway bunkers.

A long drive over the bunker will leave you with a beautiful second shot.

On this short par 4, the bunkers on the dune can be carried if the wind direction is right.

This par 5 is the longest hole on the course with a tough dog leg to the right. A long drive down the centre will open up the hidden green through the wasteland.

This hole plays long into the wind with more room at the back left section of the green than what appears.

Watch out for the second shot as it is longer than what the yardage would suggest on this par 4.

Off the tee, keep left of the "six pack" fairway bunkers and carefully place your second shot. Also make special note of the reverse tier on the green.

For this par 4, a drive left of centre will ensure a shorter and safer shot.

A beautiful looking par 3 hole however if you intend missing the green (which none of us do!) miss it right.

Aim just left of the slot in the dunes, and this will bring you to rest in a beautiful wide valley.

Choose either the high side or low side and drive confidently, as the green may be reachable in two if the wind is with you. Otherwise lay up to the 100 metre mark for your best option. The shot into the raised green must be full and bold, as the slope at the front catches the weaker shots, and sends them back down the hill.

Only the long hitters will be concerned about the fairway bunkers, so a drive at them or just right will leave you with the best approach. The green here is also set high, so once again be bold with the shot into the green, perhaps taking one more club, as any shot left or short may roll well back.

A par 3 is a good score here. A very hard green to hold if the pin is on the right, and two deep bunkers guard this side, so perhaps it is wiser to be left of centre, and if the green is missed, then it leaves an easier up and down for par.

You must not flirt with the quarry (unless playing the front tees with the wind behind). Left centre of the fairway is preferred for a longer but simpler approach. The green is unguarded but tricky, and it slopes from right to left.

If the conditions favour a carry over the fairway traps, do so and be rewarded with a short iron into an elevated green. A full approach to the heart of the green is required, as anything short or right will surely roll back, leaving a very difficult chip. The left side of the green may be the safer side to miss.

Avoid the fairway traps here. The wind direction may influence your decision to use driver or just an iron off the tee. Ideally your drive will leave you a mid iron to a green that slopes severely left to right. Be careful also of the deep hollow at the front of the green.

Stay just left of the fairway trap with the drive and the slope will sweep the ball long and left to the edge of the fairway. Difficult to reach in two, so lay up to the 100 metre mark. A bold full shot uphill to the difficult two tiered green is required. A par five here is a good score.

The safer line is the left half of the fairway. Only the bold long drivers will play down the right. A long second to a partly obscured green awaits. If you lay up, just short and right of the green will give you the easiest chip. Rated as very difficult, so a bogey is not that bad a score.

Long uphill shot to a tricky green. Better to miss on the right side for a slightly easier up and down. The bunkers on the left must be avoided as the green slopes away to the right. Also rated amongst the most difficult, so par is a good score here.

Plenty of room on the right side of the fairway, and if you catch the downslope, you may have a shot at reaching the raised green in two. If laying up, the right side is preferred for a better angle into the green.

A bold shot that carries to the heart or the back of the green is required. Short and left is to be avoided, as the ball will be swept away down the slope. Better to have a long putt from the back of the green than a difficult chip from off the green.

A long drive to the right half of the fairway sets up the best view and approach to the green. A big sand dune obscures your view of the green if you are too far left with the drive. The right half of the green is also preferred, as anything too far left may sweep off the putting surface.

The ideal drive will be in the right centre of the fairway on this straightforward looking short par four up the hill. The danger is in choosing the right club into the two tiered raised green, and the shot requires some nerve. It is open and exposed to the elements.

The middle of the green is the safest option here, no matter what the pin placement. The green is set high on a ridge, with the clubhouse in full view. Concentration is required, as any shot long or short will be punished.

Take in the panoramic view of the coastline, and then drive into the left of the fairway. The large undulating green is only visible from this side, and is set deep into the sand dunes. You can choose a low running approach, or a full shot with a short iron.

The fairway pot bunkers must be avoided, with the ideal line being down the left side. The green is raised and open to the elements, so caution is required. Whether you choose a low running pitch or a high full shot, you must play to the right side of the green, as everything sweeps from right to left.

A long confident shot into the right side of the fairway is required. From here, lay up into the bottom of the valley. Take heed of where the pin is placed though, as you may not be able to see the flag from down there. A bold, full shot is needed into the green, as anything short will come a long way back down the hill.

A daunting prospect here, with the clubhouse in sight, and your two very best shots are required to reach the green. The bail out area short and left of the green is quite wide, but leaves a tricky chip to a long narrow green. A par four will be a very satisfying finish to the round.
