As you follow the path through the trees from the 3rd to the 4th, you are greeted with the sight of a challenging looking tee shot, as described by Architect Donald Steel in 1988, "a fine looking hole from the tee where the longer the drive, the straighter it has to be".
The teeing grounds are many and varied, beginning wide, and, moving further up the hole, narrowing and being tucked against the left hand tree line, this making a pulled shot a non-starter. From the back tees a 193 yard carry awaits, still 156 yards from the red markers, over a combination of punishing rough, gorse and heather.

The fairway is laid out from right to left in comparison to the angle of the tee box, hence Donald Steel suggested a long drive needs to be very accurate. A draw starting down the right would be the perfect shot onto this angled fairway.
The firm approach narrows to a small green protected by bunkers front left and right and shaded by trees all down its left side. Predominantly flat, it should allow for a straight forward two putt.
