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.
