The view from the tee is dramatic: the player is 8 metres higher than the green, with a complete view of the six bunkers that encroach right up to the green surface itself. Though large, this green is difficult to putt, with an upper tier at the back that falls towards the front and right. The target area therefore is small. The green has the potential for some diabolical pin placements for championship play.

The 6th green is large for a par 3 hole, but in some pin positions the target area is restricted if you want to leave yourself with an uphill putt. Here, Christy O’Connor surveys the putting surface as Sandy Lyle looks on.
