Unusually the course opens with a really tricky par 5 which requires both thought and care. The drive is from an elevated tee and you must avoid the water hazard to the right and out of bounds over the hedge on the left. The big hitter will no doubt try to drive over the ditch which crosses the fairway at 220 yards most players however will lay up! The second shot needs to avoid 2 well placed fairway bunkers to enable the approach to the green across the stream that runs parallel to the fairway for much of the hole. The sensible play for most is to lay up with the third shot to ensure you start your round with a nett par!
