Red 7

The only par 5 on the nine with a drive from a raised tee to an uphill fairway. Trees and heather line the left with deep rough and several new pine trees to the right which can block out the second shot. The fairway cross-bunker is out of reach for most off the back tee but can pose a threat from the forward tee. Past this bunker the fairway flattens out and is to the left of a long bunker (running in the direction of the shot) which you can just see the top of from the fairway. Longer hitters can reach the green in two but all second shots have to be hit on a very precise line; first to avoid the long bunker (that is often on a direct line to the flag) and then two cleverly repositioned fairway bunkers to the left and right just short of the green. These repositioned bunkers now force many to lay up short on the fairway next to the long bunker. The green, which is large and flat, is still flanked by bunkers both left and right. Anything through the green makes the next shot very tricky indeed. Another good birdie chance but it is just as easy to make a bogey by trying too hard.
