Hole 7 : Ragged-Robbin (Silene Flos-Cuculi)

The shortest par 4 on this Nine, with a relatively small, slopping green guarded on three sides by the pond. Longer hitters make take the risky route ever the left hand fairway bunker, leaving a short pitch to set up a birdie. This route can also be used by shorter hitters with there second shots, so avoiding having to cross the pond. However most players will play a long iron or fairway wood straight towards the green and then a short iron over the pond, hoping to have the right distance ta leave a flat putt.
