Potentially the best par four on the course – the left hand bank draws a lot of players in but those who go right make the hole even longer. The hole is very scenic but Ryder Cup players will be unable to take in the views as they do battle on what is likely to be a pivotal hole.

Andrew Jowett, Head Professional at Gleneagles Resort, says
The first of the tough closing holes on the back nine. A long draw would be the ideal start on this slight dogleg to the left. Accuracy is more important than distance for the second shot into this long, narrow green. We’ll see a lot of ‘knock down’ second shots hit the green.
