1A straight forward Par-4, although the prevailing wind from behind your left shoulder can test your nerves, as Out-of-Bounds runs down the right hand side of the hole.The fairway is broken by a small ridge around the 250 yards from the men’s tee. From the ridge onwards, the hole rises slightly.The green runs back to front with an angular Mackenzie running from the left hand bunker across to the front of the right hand bunker.2The 2nd is the first of three Par-3s and is an early test for the average golfer.There is trouble down the right hand side, as heavy rough and trees guard the railway line and Out-of-Bounds. The prevailing wind off your left shoulder or into your face can push 3This long Par-4 plays directly into the prevailing wind with Out-of-Bounds to the right of the fairway and an open water hazard and a well-placed fairway bunker on the left can easBeyond the bunker, maturing trees protect the left hand side of the hole and a further bunker short of the green can catch the approach shot. Greenside bunkers left and right will 4As with all the holes on the outward nine, the Out-of-Bounds is on the right for the full length of the hole, and the prevailing wind is in your face.Although there are no bunkers on this hole, there is an open water hazard on the left at around 200 yards from the tee. The narrowing approach to the green, a depression immediatel5An elevated tee gives a clear view of the fairway and the water hazardsA large open water hazard on the left of the fairway is a feature of this hole and with a second further towards the green on the right gives the feeling of a narrow approach to th6This is the second of the Par-3s, and from an elevated tee is a match for anyone’s nerves.Out-of-Bounds which runs down the right hand side of the hole and alongside the green certainly helps focus the mind, especially with the prevailing wind pushing the Tee Shot towarThe final test is the Mackenzie green which runs at an angle to the Tee and has plenty of contour to add to your woes. Perhaps playing short or left of the green and relying on a g7The Par-4 7th (Par-5 for the ladies) is played as a dogleg to the right, making the green hidden from the tee.The hole provides a good test of resolve. The brook crossing in front of the green is 85 yards from the putting surface, and does pose the question of laying up for the shorter hit8A good Par-4, with the test here being the narrow figure of eight elevated green and plenty of contour around the green to catch the pushed or pulled approach.The drive is under pressure, with Out-of-Bounds until way past the 9th tee, with the canal drawing any sliced second shot. This is prO-Bably the best birdie opportunity on the fron9This hole is a Par-5 for the men and Par-4 for ladiesThe hole usually plays downwind. Although not long, the men’s drive over the corner of the adjacent canal and Out-of-Bounds, tend to tense up your nerves. With quite a long carryThe best medicine is then to get the ball back into play and lay up short of the drainage ditch, which along with two green side bunkers, guard this elevated green. If you’ve man10The 10th hole begins the back nine of the course, and as such is the second hardest Par-4 for the menRequiring a well struck tee shot to bring the distant green in range for your second shot, the fairway cambers away towards the 9th, posing the possibility of awkward lies for yourThe green, although not overly protected, angles from front to back and as the hole plays directly into the prevailing wind. Getting onto the putting surface is a good test. Walk o11The last of our Par-3s again plays directly into the prevailing wind and is well protected with three deep bunkers.A pulled tee shot will mean a difficult chip back to the putting surface with still a hard test of your putting skills to follow. The green angles quite steeply from front to back.12Playing from elevated tees and driving over the brook to an elevated green can leave a second shot played off a hanging lie.Good bunkers left and right protect the narrow approach and the green can easily bite with an initial back to front slope, which can send the under hit shot back off the putting su13Beware of the pit to left when playing from this elevated tee.The fairway is divided by the brook, and whilst shorter hitters prefer to lay up short of the brook, big hitters can go for the green (wind permitting).Two fairway bunkers straddle the entrance to the green, and either of these will catch even the slightest pushed or pulled shot. The putting surface slopes heavily front to back an14This hole offers plenty of challenges, with a pit crossing the fairway making only the biggest of hitters considering going for the long carryThe undulating fairway can easily affect your stance and a large bunker tucked in the right hand rough can trap the wayward “safe” iron.The tall poplar trees, which provide the backdrop to this downwind hole, are a good target line for your approach shot.

Also, the right hand, greenside bunker helps to focus the 18Hitting back towards the clubhouse, only a straight drive from the tee will avoid trees (both to the left and right) and also the well-placed water hazard to the right.The last green is guarded by four large bunkers which will catch even the slightest wayward shot. A short lay-up here is advisable, with so many hazards there to catch you out. Onc
