Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A classic links hole, the 3rd plays into the prevailing southwesterly, often calling for two wood shots.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green More difficult still is the 7th. A good drive will just carry the ball over the brow of a hill leaving a mid iron shot to a semi-blind green. The deep second drive bunker awaits anything short and right.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The difficult stretch begins with the 9th. As the fairway is divided into two sections, the tee shot must be very accurate, preferably left half of the fairway.
On The Green The second also must be straight, often with a wood into the prevailing wind. This hole is played as a par 5 for ladies with the tee shot and second shot requiring great care to avoid the surrounding vegetation.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole becomes more difficult the closer you get to the green.
