Hole 7 at Royal Troon
Tel-El-Kebir, 405 yards, par four

Several options are on offer with the drive off a high elevated tee.

A big brave hit through the dog-leg leaves you with half a sand wedge but the fairway narrows to about 20 yards wide the further you go.

The other method of playing the hole is to hit an iron to the corner of the dog-leg, avoiding the bunkers left and right.

The green presents a small target, broader at the front than at the back.

The hard surface can bounce balls left or right into cavernous bunkers.

Named after a battle fought in 1882 just before the hole was built.
