1Hole 1. Drive is positional, depending on which level the pin is placed – your approach can be obstructed by over hanging limbs on either side of the fairway.

3Hole 3. Straight away Par 4, Short and right of the green is a conservative leave, trouble awaits shots finishing through the green or to the right or left.
