Hole Sixteen
Par 5,Stroke Index 5
“A long tee shot favouring the left side would be ideal and there is no real trouble to consider. Those aiming to hit their second shots onto the flat area short of the 2 fairway bunkers should be wary of ditches that cut in on either side of the fairway that may catch anything offline. The approach shot is played to an elevated green with run-offs on all sides”.
Big hitters will need to aim a long way left to avoid running into the gorse. Care is required on the second shot to avoid running or bouncing into the ditch that pinches in and guards the fairway. The approach shot is steeply uphill so judging distance is tough.
