Suggestion Box

13th Hole, Par 5 - 605 Yds, Hdcp 3
The final par 5 on the Black plays as a slight dog-leg right.  The newly added Tee box and the Church Pews bunkers on the left of the fairway, come into play making the green on this hole, almost unreachable in two.

The second shot is made very difficult by a well placed fairway bunker in the landing area, which pinches in the fairway to a meager 15 yards at the 150 yard marker.  To carry the bunker, and reach the ideal area for the approach shot, requires a pipe-straight second shot of well over 250 yards, with the large bunker on the left and rough and trees looming on the right.

To finish the hole, there is a bunker complex, which is set about 30 yards short of the putting surface prevents the player seeing the base of the pin.  The green is medium sized with a small rise around halfway creating a narrow rear shelf.  Any approach shot missed right, falls off down a steep slope into trees if it does not get caught up in the bunker.
