A
feature of the four "short" holes is that they are around the 200
metre mark and all but one play over water. Several elements combine to make
this challenging par 3 stand out. The whole landscape is man-made and the
lvel tees and geometric shapes of the luma hedges around them are a constant
reminder of this. The eye is drawn along this plane, over the water to a straight
horizon. In the middle are the natural lines of the bunkers and green, creating
an unexplected pleasant contrast. This is a tough hole into the wind. Apart
from the obvious dangers of the bunkers at the front of the green which leave
an opening twelve paces wide for the shot running up, there is hidden water
and a steep slope at the back of the green.
