As you stand on the tee it can be tricky to see too much, particularly to the right, so most players aim for the left hand side – not a bad idea considering the marshy conditions on the right hand side.
Most players will happily take a par but we can expect to see plenty of dropped shots here.
Hole facts
Name: Crookit Cratur
Distance: 481 yards
Par: Four
Top tip: Players are encouraged to aim for the centre of the green and take one club more than you think due to the narrow entrance to the green
Andrew Jowett, Head Professional at Gleneagles Resort, says
Some would describe this as a signature hole on the first nine. A good drive is a must to set up the second shot to a green that has trouble all around. Prevailing wind is normally against, so driver is the club to have a chance of making it in two… even for the big boys.
