The tee shot is framed by two fairway bunkers on either side of the fairway. The shorter hitter, however, has a large fairway to find before negotiating the approach to this well protected green. The green is perched, with two bunkers short on either side. Par 5 playing a touch longer than before, opportunity in finding the green in two shots for the longer hitter, really makes this hole exciting. An impressively long par 4, playing at 489m off the back, requires a crisply struck tee shot to set up one’s approach. Two large bunkers guard the right side of the fairway as you hit your tee shot slightly down the hill. Going for the green in two requires a shot played back over the stream on the left, to a perched green cut into the hillside. If one opts to lay-up, you can choose to play down the fairway, which will leave you with an uphill shot to this narrow green, or you can cross the stream to a fairway short of the green. Tiger line can get you to the green with a small patch of fairway short of the green. The 7th plays down the hill to a large fairway which only starts to narrow as the water comes into play. Further down the fairway, the stream really comes into play as it crosses just short of the green, forcing a carried approach. Playing toward the fairway, both the water and the bunker come into play. The hole is set through an old stone wall, splitting the hole along its width. The green, somewhat detached from the putting surface, making the recovery of an over hit tee shot well challenging. With so many tee boxes, the 17th can be set up with varying distances and by also changing the angle of the tee shot, one gets a larger view of the green, instilling more confidence in the attacking shot. The hole dog-legs to the left with a wide fairway split into two by a large bunker. Most players will not go for the green in two and will play to the lay-up area which is defined by a bunker on the left just short of the water hazard. The green sits perched with only one pot bunker on the right just over the narrow water hazard. A large swale behind the green awaits any shot over hit, so distance control is key. Playing slightly shorter than the 9th and increasing the angle of the dog leg, the tee shot invites one to take on the left part of the fairway enticing the longer hitters to go for the green in two, a great risk and reward scenario.
