Hole O'Cross (out), 568 yards, par five
Another generously wide fairway to a green that is reachable in two with any breeze helping. Seven pot bunkers guard the right of the fairway, and if you get in those you just have to splash out sideways. If you can't reach the green in two you have to lay up short of a couple of pot bunkers called The Spectacles. Players going for the green in two have to hit it over a big hollow. If the ball lands in this you're never quite sure if you're going to get an upslope soft bounce or a downslope shooter. The massive green is an acre and a half and 95 yards from front to back. Often players find the green but are still left with an enormous putt. It's often the easiest hole on the course and yields plenty of birdies but it can be tricky if you get in any of the pot bunkers. Hole O'Cross: Some say the hole is named after a chasm the players had to "cross", others that there was once a cross here. The Spectacles bunkers: Obvious choice of name because of the perfectly circular bunkers positioned either side of the approach to the green.
