Hole 3



DD : Hole 3 ; This par 3 is guarded by water on the left, the green itself sits high above the water and slopes severly off towards the water on the left side. The tee is backed by a continuation of the native woodland we saw on the 2nd hole and plays over the stone wall that enclosed the second green from the back group of tees. The hole is slightly downhill and has a native tree backdrop on the right hand side that runs along the existing burn. The player cross a burn twice when entering and exiting the teeing area.

The green is heavily undulating and as stated slopes severly off on the left side. There is a mound that runs alongside the right side of the green that wil kick shots off to the right if people bail out too much or their shot is caught on the prevailling wind, which would leave a difficult recovery chip. There is a solitary bunker short right of the green that forshortens the hole and is carved into the face of the mound. The green is particularly long so pin posistion will effect club selection.
