Hole 18
Distance 459m
Par 4
Stroke 16
The tee shot must lay up short and right of the water, leaving a long second to an undulating green protected front right and left by bunkers. Ensure that enough club is used, as this shot is longer that it looks. The target can look extremely intimidating on this dogleg left closing hole.
Most players will opt for a fairway wood or hybrid off the tee to ensure the best possible position in the fairway; the further left in the fairway, the better on this 90-degree dogleg left. A pin position anywhere on the left is relatively accessible, but the traditional Sunday back right brings a gaping bunker into play and there is absolutely no margin for error with the approach. Take enough club for your second shot, everybody is usually short.Gary Player
