Penultimate hole on the course is yet another tricky Par 4 with water running down the right-hand side and a narrow landing area. Miss-hitting a drive to the left will leave a blind shot over gorse bushes, missing to the right will leave you a better view but still coming out of heavy rough. The ideal line would be to hit driver or 3-wood and aim at the left half of the fairway off the tee to allow for a kick to the right, creating a good angle for the second shot.The green slopes gently from front to back and is protected by a bunker front right. Golfers will be coming into this green with a mid-low iron depending on golfing ability but regardless players should aim to land the ball a few yards short and left of centre to allow the ball to release down.

Another mid-short iron for the approach shot played uphill, so clubbing up at least once is a must. The green is protected at the front right by a large bunker, if aiming to the right players must carry this bunker or the bunker shot will be quite difficult to judge.Protecting the green on the left is a hump that slopes away from the green and will result in a chip/pitch shot were the green is above player, another shot that will require soft hands. Landing the ball on the front of the green is the sensible shot and depending on hole location can result in a good birdie chance. … [Read more...] about Hole #18 – Home Straight – 359 yard – Par 4
