Hole 3
The relatively easy start is soon forgotten. The 3rd is a long Par 5, with a narrow undulating fairway. Out of bounds on the left and steep fescue covered slopes on the right necessitate a long accurate drive if you are to have any chance in reaching the green in two.
The fairway bunker on the right is the target; land just short of it and the ball will kick left into the fairway centre. Taking on the green in two will need to carry a swale partially crossing the fairway 50 yards short of the green and a green side bunker protecting the front left of the green. Aim up the right and let the slope guide the ball around these hazards onto what is a generously sized target.
Alternatively make sure the second shot is left short of the swale; golf balls running into it will end up at the bottom of the slope and a blind approach over the green side bunker.
