The longest hole on the course with a steep grade running across from left to right, especially at the start. The drive is best if aimed at the bunkers and allowed to feed off the hill to the right. Once this is successfully negotiated the decision now is whether or not the bunker crossing the fairway about 430 metres out can be carried.
There are options left and right but the pitch is more exacting, especially if the pin is tucked away to the right. To play short will mean a tough shot possibly as much as a 6 iron is required and again the green is surrounded by an array of interesting hazards. We are now on the other side of the double green shared by the 13th.
There are a variety of undulations which flow toward fairway for the most part but feed away towards the back on the right. Needless to say, the closer the pitch is to the green the easier the third shot is to judge.
