HOLE ONE

On this opening hole, it's really important to drive the ball straight and it's an easy par 5.

PAR YARDS STROKE
5 480 16
5 461 16

PRO TIP
With a big bunker to the right hand-side, and only semi rough to the left you can afford to aim a little left to get the round off to a safe start.

A short par 3 with a backwards sloping green better to slightly over hit than under hit on this one.

HOLE SEVEN

You need to take a little more care on this hole. It's not shown on card, but you should play a straight shot from the tee, then there is a big fall away/dip on the fareway with a bunker on the left-hand side. Then it's straight up on to the green.

The longest Par 4 on the course but with a vast downhill slope means the ball will carry - keep it simple.
