Back Nine: 18th Hole

The Lark
280 Yards - Par 4

This unique closing hole will tempt and tease and should prove to be an exciting match play hole, with the potential for dramatic swings of fortune. At 274 yards, most players will fancy having a go with their driver, especially if the wind is assisting. That said, more will make par by laying up from the tee with a long iron or three wood, so every player should consider the options carefully every time they stand on the tee. A different club may be needed every day for a week.

As befits a short par four, the green is tiny and severe, with four distinct areas. Birdie chances will be few and far between, unless the approach shot finishes on the same section of green as the flag. The green is more receptive to shots played from close to the shore, so the bold tee shot, whether with driver or five iron must flirt with the beach to enjoy the best line of attack for second.
