“An inviting tee shot played from an elevated tee. Favour the left side to avoid the fairway bunkers. For the approach there can be up to two clubs’ difference between a front and back pin position. Favour the left side of the green as there is a slope to the boundary fence for any miss to the right”.
Long hitters can take on the fairway bunkers but for most people the best option is to stay well left of them, even though it makes the second shot longer. The second shot really needs to carry onto the green, as anything short will hit into the upslope and kick to the right.
