Fairway and greenside bunkers define and shape the hole and the semi- plateau green is a very difficult target.6The key to the next hole is position from the tee, which is set back in an avenue of trees - the second shot increases in difficulty the further the tee shot strays from the correc7The short seventh is a gem, played downhill to a green set in front of a lake.The short seventh is a gem, played downhill to a green set in front of a lake.8Then comes the longest hole on the course, 517 yards to a two-tier green.Then comes the longest hole on the course, 517 yards to a two-tier green.9Before the outward half closes with something of a respite,an apparently simple par four, but with a green which is never easy to find.10The homeward half begins in beautiful and challenging fashion with a long parthree across a lake to a green tucked in the trees and then there is a slight pull uphill towards the clubhouse round the corner of the dog-leg 11th.11The 11th plays its full length up the slope to a difficult stepped green.The 11th plays its full length up the slope to a difficult stepped green.12As if to compensate for the climb, the 12th sweeps downhill before rising again to the green.As if to compensate for the climb, the 12th sweeps downhill before rising again to the green.13Then come two tough par five holes in succession, the 13th (482 yards) and the 14th (504 yards), both swinging to the right. .The second shot to the 13th is played down-hill to a two-tier green and there is out-of-bounds on the right14The 14th is tree-lined and there is not much room for error around the green.The 14th is tree-lined and there is not much room for error around the green.15The finishing four holes seem much less demanding after this tough stretch, but they all have that almost indefinable quality of good golf holes.They are not too long, or too tight, giving golfers of any calibre the opportunity to get home in the regulation number of shots.
