Hole 4 (Par 4) - While a bail out left might look like the play, aim too far left and you’ll be lost in the knee-high heather.Hole 6 (par 3) - While short might not look appealing from the tee, going long is far worse with hidden bunkers, testing rough and steep slopes.Hole 16 (par 5) - This par 5 plays shorter than you think thanks you a helping wind. Take a club less on your approach.Hole 8 (par 5) - Beware the dreaded pot bunker at the back of the green. End up here and taking stroke & distance isn't the worst idea.

Hole 2 (par 5) - The wind off the sea will blow your ball towards the burn, play more safe to the right that you would expect to.Hole 7 (par 4) - While driveable in favourable conditions, beware of the runoff to the left of the green. From there, the resulting chip is incredibly difficult with the green running away from you.Hole 15 (par 4 ) - Swales to the left and runoff to the right protect the green. Miss it and expect your short game to be tested, albeit one with interesting options.Hole 17 (par 4) - Aim to drive over the ridge line on the left half of the fairway. Anything short or right of it will leave a blind shot over the dunes.Hole 9 (par 3) - Distance control is essential, miss the green long and there is little chance of recovery from the surrounding dunes.
