Is the third hole on the golf course good?
Marc Leishman says: “The third hole is more than likely going to be an iron off the tee. Bunkers on the left are no good and the longest rough on the course is on the right side of that hole. You’ll want to be on the right-hand side of that fairway.”
What is the sixth hole of the golf course?
Although not as famous as the incredible 15th hole, the sixth hole is a beautiful mid iron shot played over a wonderfully rugged stretch of sandy native grasses and shrubs to a great green, with beautiful bunkering.
What is the ninth hole in golf?
Geoff Ogilvy says: “The ninth hole is a wonderful mid-length par 4. A blind tee shot to a very wide fairway sets up a really fun shot to the massive double green which is shared with the 16th hole. Fairway woods and irons off the tee are usually played to avoid running into the bunkers.
What is the 14th hole at Kingston Heath?
Adam Scott says: “The 14th hole at Kingston Heath is a strong par 5. You have to split it between the bunkers and some trees on the left, a pretty tight tee shot. The second shot is blind even for the lay-up approach. If you’re going for the green, you have to have a really great idea of your line, but it’s one you can hit in two with a bit of run-up on to the green, which is such a feature of the Melbourne Sandbelt courses. There’s a good scoring opportunity here, but it’s a tough green to pitch into. If you do have a chance to get it up by the green in two, you have to take advantage of it.”
What is the best par 3 hole in golf?
Adam Scott says: “The 15th hole is widely regarded as one of the best par 3s in the game of golf. It’s only 154 yards and slightly uphill. Into a stiff wind, I’ve hit up to a 5-iron in there. There’s no margin for error – you’ve got steep bunkers on both sides, something you have to avoid.”
What is the 10th hole?
Aaron Baddeley says: “The 10th hole is a short dogleg left par four. Most players will use an iron off the tee. The fairway is generous, but position is vital for the best angle to attack the pin. The right side of the fairway leaves you the best angle to get your second shot (which would normally be just a wedge) close to the pin. Look for players to make plenty of birdies on this hole.”
Is 17 a good hole?
Adam Scott says: “17 is just a good, strong hole. It’s straight away off the tee with a little room to the right, but again if you go right, it can change your angle into the green. The green is high in the front then runs away with a slight tilt from back to front. You’ll want to find yourself hitting the middle of the green because it’s quite a severe pitch onto the green from short and putting from just off the green is sure to get away from you.”
