Fairways
:
Fairly generous, but extensive shaping increases challenge
Rough
:
Semi-rough - 3.5cm
Rough - 12.5cm
Greens
:
Large greens, with subtle slopes. You've got to put the ball in the right part of the green to have a chance at birdies.
General
:
Course is playing quite firm, but strong winds are forecast so some holes will be playing extra long.
The general premium is on the 2nd shot - iron play. The set-up is tight around the greens, with water coming into play more around the greens than on tee-shots.
The par 3's are some of the hardest holes on the course, and the 9th hole is one of the longest par 5 holes on Tour, at 634 yards/580 metres.
