The longest hole of the course requires a careful drive with out of bounds on the left encouraging play to the right, protected by a bunker and trees. The 2nd shot must be accurate to the centre of the fairway between the 2nd set of bunkers at 425 yards to ensure a good third shot to the green which is bunkered right and left and slopes to a shallow dip. When the course was designed, Saltney was a thriving business area with boat-building and river-rail links for freight. At the time the Dee was navigable as far as the Saltney Quayside.
