Hole Six
The hole is at a 180 degree angle to the first five and the wind almost certainly off the left. Therefore, faders and slicers stay left as there is a rhyne marking out of bounds to the right. From the back tee only the big hitters are likely to reach a bunker on the left, but unless you are long it is wise to play to the entrance to the green and chip and putt for par. Stroke index is seven and five for ladies, and not generous.
Pro’s Tip
“As you leave the 5th green, have a look down the 6th fairway. Your tee shot on the 6th could be a blind one, but if you’re standing on the top tee of this hole it has stunning views across the bay. As with the previous hole the front of the green provides the most problems. It’s better to be just long than too short.”
