The Course - Hole 8, Par 5, 487 yards, Stroke Index 9.
This sweeping right to left par 5 needs to be played to the right of the centre of the fairway as any shot to the left will be caught by fir trees and thrown down to the bottom of the copse. Two bunkers are well positioned on the right of the fairway to make you think about your tee shot. The second shot needs to be positioned to the right as the sloping fairway will kick the ball to the left where again a well positioned bunker will catch the wayward shot. The approach to this long green needs to be flown all the way onto the putting surface as anything landing short will be thrown down the bank to the left of the green. A good par 5 that makes you think carefully about every shot.
