Sidewinder

The sister hole to Serpent, teams will find a more forgiving foe in Sidewinder.

A high trajectory right-to-left tee shot will reward teams with Position A on this reachable Par 5, while bunkers dot the approach to the green, which sits beyond a small ravine.

While the design is similar to Serpent, the penalty areas have been minimized with the intention for Sidewinder to have a bit less bite.

Hole Strategy

Hole Designer: Pizá Golf

Agustín Pizá talks us through his thought process on the design of Serpent's sister hole, Sidewinder.

Agustín says: "This is the sister to the Serpent. And this hole is also a little more forgiving than the Serpent. You can take the convservative route on the right and if you hit over 290 to 310 yards you will get that speed slope onto position A. If you try to clear the left side and be more aggressive you will get rewarded even more.

"If you cannot get home in two then you will have to find a very good strategy to attack the GreenZone.

"You have to choose whether you want to lay your ball on the left or the right and that will be dictated by where the flag is played."
