Hole 9b (Approach Area)



DD : Hole 9b (Approach Area) ; After a successful drive the player is faced with a few options on his second shot. The player can attempt to hit their shot into the neck of the green at around 245yds and levae a simple pitch into the green. When the pin is placed back left of the green this will the best (or only) chance of the player pitching really close to the pin to get a birdie.

The plaer can also choose to play short of the left bunker at 220yds leaving a fuller shot into the green but the bunekr on the right becomes more in play in that senario. The green falls away from the player steeply both right and back which would leave a tricky up and down for the players. The green is also very wide and there are a number of pin posistions avaliable that can alter the strategy of the hole so the player can get the best angle into the pin. The large mound front left protects the back left pins and make the back portion of the green seem very small indeed.

With the slope running the whole length of the hole on the right side, kicking people closer to that main water feature the hole will prove to be a true test for the players to finish with.
