It may be the shorter of the two courses at Dalmahoy, but the West is certainly no pushover. It features tight fairways, deep, thick rough and a number of hard greens that players will struggle to control their ball on.

To succeed you must be fairly accurate from the tee, although a little course management, or local knowledge, can be a useful weapon.

At the par three 16th, a miniscule hole that's nothing more than a light wedge, you must clear the river before the green and land firmly on the putting surface. Go through the back, however, and you're in the rough, on a steep hill, and facing a nightmarish return.
