A course feature and passageway for the errant golfer challenged by this long and tricky hole.
A straight par five. Straight drive required if you want to hit green in two. Water in front of green needs to be taken into account on approach shots.
Dog leg right par four. Ideal tee shot is a fade off the tee. Good drive required if you wish to carry the trees on the right for a more direct line.
A long Par 5 to finish this nine. It is a similar hole to the sixth. The green is elevated, has multiple tiers and is protected by bunkers on both sides.
Short par three two bunkers front right and left of green and bunker behind centre of green. Green tilts slightly from back to front.
Decent par five. Out of bounds on left and trees all down the right hand side of fairway. Elevated green guarded by two front bunkers.

Short drivable par four for the brave. Water on right and out of bounds on left, best play here is to take a mid iron and leave a short approach.
Only par three on this nine. Tee shot over water to a green that slopes from back to front - can be a tricky second shot for players who do not hit the green in regulation.
Straight par 4 to start. Accurate drive required as the fairway is lined with mature trees either side. Bunker on left hand side of green.
Short par four, longer hitters are better leaving the driver in the bag here as a water hazard runs across fairway that can come in play. Relatively flat green protected on right by bunker.
Par four with water on the right that will catch any errant tee shots. Accurate tee shot required to set up approach to a tricky green.
Short par four with mature trees either side of fairway. Large three tier green guarded by two bunkers on the right and one on the left.
Longest par three on the course. Raised undulated green protected on right by bunker. Large trees comes into play on tee shot. Par is a good score here.
Dog leg left par five. Longer hitters can cut the corner and leave a short or mid iron to green. Most take aim at large tree on fairway and try to land left of that.
Short drivable par four for the brave. Water on right and out of bounds on left, best play here is to take a mid iron and leave a short approach.
Straight par four, with one of the wider fairways on the course. Trees either side of fairway. Ditch in play off tee for longer hitters.
Par 3 to start. Two tiered green guarded by front bunker and two bunkers left and right. Don't go long on this hole as out of bounds behind green.
