A new tee 40 metres behind its predecessor brings the two existing right side bunkers into play as they are now 250 and 286 metres from the tee. The left side of this hole has been narrowed firstly by some quite deep grass and by increased mounding between this and the neighbouring sixth fairway. In these mounds are four bunkers which are quite invisible from the tee. The furthest of these is placed 290 metres from the tee and it narrows the neck of the fairway.

The bold player with an assisting wind may attempt to play through this neck and be left with a wedge to the green. Prudence may dictate playing short of the bunkers. This presents a longer shot to the green which has a deep bunker in its right front edge.
