Strategy Plan

This is a strategic hole and the wind and change in elevation will have to be taken into consideration before teeing off. The hole is a 506 yard par 4, from the back tees (Blue Tees), but drops 44 meters from the tee to the center of the green. This will make the hole play much shorter. The prevailing wind is from the southwest, meaning there will be a cross wind from right to left.
From the tee, the golfer must decide what line to the fairway is to be taken. Gorse cuts into the fairway at a diagonal and the more that is carried by the tee shot, the easier the second shot into the green will be.
This is a risk and reward hole and visibility on the second shot is the biggest reward for a long drive. If the golfer opts not to try and carry the gorse, the result will be a second shot in which only the top of the flag stick can be seen. This is due to the gorse between the golfer and the green. There is also a greenside grass bunker that would not be visible from this position in the fairway.
The risky way to play this hole is to carry the tee shot about 300 yards. This is managable because of the elevation change. This will result in a second shot, with full visibilty of the green, of about 210 yards to the center. Although the hole is 506 yards from the tips, it will play about 465-470 yards long, due to the elevation change.
