The Hole:
A wonderful elevated tee where it's worth taking time to savour the view of Synwell and Wotton-under-Edge in the valley below. You can either lay up short of the stream, or go for the drive to carry it, which is made shorter by the fact that the fairway is well below the tee. The second slope is usually from a hanging lie, while the slope of the green will test you putting skills.

Pro's Advice:
Back over the stream with a fall to the right. Your second shot should be a short one but not easy, the green falls from the front down to the right also.

Member's Advice:
This is another tough hole. Most take on the carry over the stream, but it nearly always means a hanging lie for your second shot and if you can get your ball to hold on the green, you are faced with some challenging slopes. A two putt here is always a good result!

For the Ladies:
This is a tough hole - especially for visitors. The ditch is reachable off the tee for the medium to long hitters, but low handicappers should easily be able to clear it. The second shot is demanding whichever club you have in your hand. You need to aim left of the green despite there being a ditch and hedge, as everything falls away from left to right. The green has borrows that are impossible to see or believe. If you are above the hole in summer, then pray!!
