The first par 5 on the course calls for a good drive to deal with a slight angle off the tee.

It is over 100 mtrs from the tee to the fairway at the corner of the dogleg but a wide fairway awaits those balls who make it through the gap. A good drive will put the green in range in two but beware there are hazards to be tackled. A lake pokes into the fairway from the left short of the green and a large bunker and over hanging tree guards the right of the green. This tree comes into play even for those who decide to lay up an play a short iron to the green.

The green itself is big and slopes severely from back to front. A misplaced shot to the green could leave you with a 40 yard put if you are not careful.
