The walk. Moderate. 151 metres of climb over the round.

The wind. The wind is usually south-westerly, averaging 9 km/h, gusting to 36. It is the club selection that catches people out, not the yardage.

The water. 13 hazards in play. Bring a few more balls than you think you need.

The design. Robert Trent Jones Sr..

The holes that will cost you. The 13th, the 15th and the 2nd. The 13th is the one you will be talking about afterwards.
