The seventeenth hole is a tricky, predominantly flat hole that rises steeply just before the front of the green and is often into the wind so take enough club. Go long and there is trees and grassy bank with out of bounds not too far away as well as all the way down the right-hand side. The green itself is protected by deep bunkers on both sides. Miss to the left and face a tricky chip or bunker shot to a green that slopes from left-to-right. Miss to the right and, if you avoid the bunker,you face a steep chip back onto the putting surface. The green itself has some tricky contours meaning a two here is a great result.

"Stepping onto 17th tee you are faced with what appears to be a straightforward, if longish, uphill par 3 guarded at its front by three greenside bunkers. However the first thing you will usually notice is you are playing directly into a prevailing westerly breeze. This means that the 17th narrow green, sloping from front to back, can be a real test to hit and hold. Hit the green and a two is on offer - miss left or right and a bogie beckons ! "
