Any advice for this place lads? I've booked in for Saturday week. It sounds like I'm in for a treat.

Fairly straightforward.

Hit open areas you can see in front of you and know distances to fairway bunkers.

That is good advice on any links, but particularly here.

Also . Nothing wrong with middle of the green out there .
Pin seeking can be a dangerous game with bunkers and dramatic raised green.

There can be hidden wind . So observe this in first few holes and note up and down nature of holes changing this.

Enjoy . Overall avoid fairway bunkers . Dont go in rough
