The 3rd

The third hole extends to 462 yards off the blue championship tee and is played over a burn which, from the front tees, will only catch the head-up shot. From the medal tee, it measures 406 yards and has out of bounds to the right. Again there is a slight right to left dog leg, with heather greeting the too-neat drive. Two fairway bunkers to the right can catch the pushed shot and a triangle of three bunkers about 50 yards short of the green call for the second shot to carry the whole distance. This is one of the few greens that will gather the ball. However, a ball hit into the large mound of rough on the right will test a player’s ability to get down in two shots.
