I like the new tee on the 4th.


Its pushed over to the right and further back, towards the gap going to the 3rd green. They will have a narrow gap to drive between 2 mature trees.


New teebox on 5th is about 25 - 30 yds further back.


Alot said about new 6th teebox.

Not on 4th i'm fairly sure. But the others are correct plus the 5th

New tee box on the 4th alright (at least it was WIP when I was last there in March)....you actually pass it when you walk around the water to the 3rd green. They have cleared some small trees for it. Makes the bunkers a very long carry

O right i played in Sunday but didn't take notice of that. Sunday was the first day the tee box was used on 5th they said in the proshop

If you copy & Paste these co-ordinates into Google Earth or Google Maps you see pretty much where the new tees are. Not far out anyway

Yeah it was - totally different line off the tee now. You walked right by the new 4th tee on the way to the 3rd green - but you'd be forgiven for not noticing, its looks like its been there forever. They took sod from the start of the new 1st fairway to form them so they've been completed pretty quick.

That's one way of getting decent range balls for the Open
