The view from the elevated tee on this 6th hole shows you that a straight drive is going to pay dividends. The hole has a right-to-left dogleg and two bunkers narrow the target area at the corner. A shot short of the bunkers will likely result in a lay-up in front of the stream that runs across the whole fairway. The long green is guarded by bunkers on both sides and looks relatively flat but beware - there are subtle contours that can have a dramatic effect on your putts, so favour the left hand side to allow yourself an uphill putt.

"Standing on the 6th tee, which of all tees is elevated, you have a lovely view of the start of the hole. There are trees lining both sides of the fairway as far as the stream which is out of view round a dog-leg left . The newly added fairway bunkers draw your attention first but make for a nice feature. The mound on the right, with its new path, is also a feature but one to be wary of. I like it best when it has just been cut around the top and the sides are left a little longer! However it is not somewhere you want to play from if you can avoid it. As you walk forward past the bunkers , the stream comes into sight. Large trees grow near the stream but leave an entrance to a good sized green which is protected by bunkers therefore accuracy is vital for a good score. "
