Tenth (10T - 8G) 371yds Par 4
Drive to the left half of the fairway leaves a short iron into the green. First half of the green slopes sharply front to back. Pins in the front half make it imperative to get your drive long and left due to the fronting bunker.
Eleventh (9T - 7G) 162yds Par3
The key here is to ensure you finish on the same side of the spine as the pin is cut. A cross wind hole.
Twelfth (Tee is on the left of Shell bunker as you come off the last green - 6G) 321yds Par 4
This is one of the two holes that really doesn't work in the current setup. The appropriate driving area is currently nearly all rough forcing a drive out towards TOC twelfth fairway. Rough and Gorse fronting the green also adversely effect the playability of the hole. Some of this could remain to retain a hazard fronting the green but I would need to reacquaint myself with the area to come up with a solution.

) Approach is blind to a Green sloping slightly from front to back. Large swale at the back of the green important feature for pins cut at the back of the green.
Thirteeenth (6T - 5G) 358 yards Par 4
Either take a long iron (170-190yds) to the fairway straight ahead or 3w/Driver over the coffin bunkers (Right) onto the light rough of the plateau. The fairway leaves a blind approach. 100yds of green means this shouldn't be a problem. The second option is probably preferable for pins cut near the grassy hollow at the front right of the green. For pins cut in this position a long approach will leave anything up to a 90yd putt. Plays downwind so stopping the ball will be a problem.
