Unlucky for some or, in the case of this
par 5 hole, for many.
The drive is across the 18th fairway into
a fairway which slopes to meet you. A lake to the left will
punish anything to this side just off the fairway. This is
where you will have to make a choice as the green is easily
in play from a drive of 230m or so, but do you risk the full
carry to the putting surface to avoid the lake and wall up
to the edge of the green. If you don't fancy it laying up
is the option to take but this must be placed as there is a sneaky
dogleg as you approach the lake. Large trees to the right of the
green will cause a very difficult short iron if your second
is anywhere right of the fairway.
The bunkers left and right are large and
receiving and guard the green which slopes towards the water.
This is the first of 4 holes which can ruin an otherwise good
card.
