Carry - Hole 6

531 509 496 454

Gents

Par 5 Si 7 Ladies Par 5 Si 5

Another Par 5 but this time with the prevailing wind in your favour from behind and to the right. Take a line just to the left of the clubhouse and between the 2 mounds directly in front of you. Bunkers line both sides so finding the safe part of the fairway is hugely important.

Your second shot has to carry mounds and bunkers in the middle of the fairway and a line to the left is favoured however be careful as this small copse of conifers has been known to catch shots pushed to far left. Level ground is now in front of you ideal for a low bump and run on to another typical flat green protected by two bunkers.

 

Professional's tip

For low handicap golfers this hole presents a real birdie opportunity, a long straight drive down the fairway finishing just short of the mound will allow you to reach the green with your second especially when the wind is from behind. However bunkers on either side of the fairway will definitely come into play should you not be straight leaving no option but to splash back out onto the fairway.
