After the previous four challenging holes, the 7th and 8th should allow the golfer to temporarily relax. The 7th is downhill from tee too green. Two bunkers protect the left of the fairway so a tee shot should either be placed short of these hazards, leaving a longer shot the green or a more precise tee shot right of the bunkers to a part of the fairway not completely visible from the tee but leaving a shorter approach from a more advantageous angle.

Wherever the tee shot is placed, the approach to the green is guarded by two approach bunker 30 yards short. Nevertheless they have to be carried to reach the green and there are a series of swales in front of the green that need to be negotiated. In this instance it would be best to play target golf to the green; if the ball lands short of the green, the swales may divert the ball either left or right.
