This downhill hole requires a long tee shot to take players beyond the bunker in the fairway meaning the best of the Ryder Cup drivers will be rewarded on this hole
Hole facts
Name: Wimplin’ Wyne
Distance: 481 yards
Par: Four
Top tip: Drive down the left of the fairway to avoid the bunkers on the right.
Andrew Jowett, Head Professional at Gleneagles Resort, says
This hole should prove to be a tough test even for the best players. Tour players will probably take a driver and fly the ball over the right side of the bunker, which is about 260 yards from the tee, but another bunker waits for a drive that slips right and deep rough waits for a shot going left. Into the wind, the front bunker guarding the approach to the green might come into play. Any second shot missing the green will leave a very tricky up and down.
