This hole demands two long, accurate shots to reach a green fiercely protected by bunkers. Favouring the left side of the fairway off the tee may cost distance but delivers a much better angle for your approach. Plus, the fairway slopes steadily right to left toward the sea — adding a subtle but key layer to shot placement.
The green sits uphill, narrow, and unforgiving. Come up short and your ball risks rolling back to the bottom — leaving you a daunting uphill putt. As the green narrows on the climb, precision on your approach becomes essential.
A wide fairway at first glance tightens considerably as you climb, disguising distance and tempting players to come up short — a costly error given the severe front slope. This hole rewards trajectory control and well-managed spin under pressure.
