The first par 3 hole on the course requires an accurate iron shot from the tee to a long and narrow green, which runs uphill. Watch out for the trees on the left, which often catch a wayward tee shot. The green features some subtle breaks and good judgment of pace is needed to avoid a three putt.

Pro tip: The safe play is to the right hand side of the green, as the bank often gives the ball a kick onto the putting surface. Pitching short of the green usually results in the ball running left, leaving a tricky chip to get up and down.
