A narrow tree-lined fairway makes this par 5 11th a tricky hole, as it requires three good shots to find the green. The drive needs to be particularly accurate, as trees encroach on both sides of the fairway. At about 220yds there is an up-slope in the fairway, with a nasty drop to the right, which catches any wayward shot on that side.

The second shot will take you up the slope, and it’s better to favour the left side of the fairway, as it slopes slightly to the right over the brow, and you could end up in one of the fairway bunkers along the right side (which is better than the Rhododendron bushes behind the bunkers!).

The approach shot should be a short iron to a large green that slopes back to front, and right to left. Depending on where the pin is placed, a choice of three clubs may be needed.

Four bunkers on this hole, three lining the right side of the fairway about 140yds – 80yds from the green. One bunker front-left of the green
