How to play this course
Every hazard on this nine, with the first thing to get right. Open a guide for the full plan.
- Island green Choose the club whose carry reaches the front of the green, not the flag, and allow for the wind before you lock the line. Full guide →
- River and bridge Before aiming, look at where the river meets each edge of the fairway. Full guide →
- Split fairway Tap the course on the lane you want rather than at the flag — the aim sector then centres on that lane — and check where the roll would finish, not only the landing spot. Full guide →
- Cart path On a long, straight links hole, aim a long club at the start of the path and let it run. Full guide →
- Sweeping arm Either lay up comfortably short of the circle, or carry far enough that rollout takes the ball past it. Full guide →
- Chute Off the tee, take the longest club whose spread you trust — often a 5-wood or 4-iron rather than the driver — and aim at the middle of the narrowest part, not at the flag. Full guide →
- Leaf piles From the leaves, club up: two or three clubs more than usual is a good start, and prefer a carry that finishes short of trouble to one that must clear it, because the wider spread makes long carries over water risky. Full guide →
- Gust From the tee, a long club that crosses the band mid-flight is usually unaffected. Full guide →
- Daily conditions On firm ground, land the ball shorter and let it run, and keep well short of water behind greens. Full guide →
