The hole is characterised by the marked uphill slope of
the fairway, which has the additional hazard of an open cross drain
water hazard. This is clearly visible from the tee. Playing the 2nd this
is only a problem if the wind is into your face, or if you are a modest
hitter off the tee, but from the back tee (the 11th) it is a major
factor as it is in the landing zone for a well struck drive.
Once
on
the
top
part
of
the
fairway
the
mid
to
short
iron
approach
(or
the
long
fairway
wood
approach
if
below
on
the
slope)
is
fraught
with
danger.
The
green
has
a
myriad
of
different
borrows.
While
the
overall
slope
of
the
green
is
right
to
left,
there
is
also
a
pronounced
back
to
front
slope
on
the
front
half
of
the
putting
surface.
Therefore
judging
an
approach
with
a
prevailing
westerly
cross
wind
is
extremely
demanding.
The
hole
again
runs
in
a
north-south
direction.
