“Favour the right side of the fairway, whilst avoiding being blocked out by the oak tree at the hilltop. For most, the approach shot to the green will be blind, relying on the marker post at the rear of the green for orientation. Favour the right side as the left is guarded by 3 bunkers, in addition to steep run-offs to the left and rear. Again, there can be at least a club difference between a front and rear pin position.
A generous fairway that leaves most golfers facing a blind second shot into the final hole. The marker post at the back of the green, or just to the right of it, is a good line in from the fairway, as the ball feeds in from that side and deep bunkers and OOB lurk to the left.
