An elevated tee box provides views of the playing arena that is the first and final two holes. The 17th runs parallel to the second. The tee shot is played with a short carry over the same burn crossed on 2. Tight to the left of the fairway is a treacherous out of bounds line that instinctively forces bail outs to the right, frequently played from the 2nd fairway.

The approach is played with a short to mid iron to a green guarded by bunkers front-left and front-right. Here, it is better to be long than short. Special attention should be paid to the deep bunker front-right of the green.
