1No. 1 is a great starting hole. The fairway falls away from the clubhouse toward a lake, then turns to run parallel to the lakeshore.Long hitters could hit through the fairway and find the lake, but a careful bend of the shot will shorten the hole considerably.Trees and two traps guard the corner of the dogleg, but the green has no close bunkers.2A short but challenging hole, No. 2 requires the tee shot to carry the lake.The green is sloped; a putt from above the hole is going to be fast.3No. 3 runs between a lake on the left and O-B on the right,but both are far enough off the fairway that a tee shot should not be affected. The best shot is to the right side of the fairway for a direct shot at the green.A small pond and a copse of trees on the left hides the green from the left side. Two bunkers guard the approach.4This long, uphill par 5 rewards long hitters. From the tee,the fairway ends slightly to the left. At the green, the fairway makes a more O-Bvious jog to the left with a bunker on the right. A long bunker lays behind small swails on the lef5No. 5 is a par 4 with trouble on the right -- specifically a fenceline with woods and private property on the other side.The landing area is a plateau that's only slightly lower that the tees, but the hole then runs downhill to a lima bean-shaped green with a bunker on the left.6No. 6 is a par 4 that requires a straight tee shot.A draw or fade is fine, but there is a pond on the left and a fence on the right, so a hook or slice will be in trouble. The fairway pinches on approach tothe green from the right side. An approach from the right has a better angle. From the left side of the fairway, an approach must take a bunker into account.7One of the signature holes at London Downs, this beautiful par 3 challenges the golfer in several ways.O-Bviously, hitting over water adds an element of trepidation. The green is guarded by two bunkers, plus it's sloped toward the pond so putting from above the hole is a challenge. 8No. 8 is a long par 5 that uses nature as a hazard.The tees are set back in the trees creating a chute that aims at the fairway.There is a slope on the right that can prevent a tee shot right from making the woods. The first landing area is between large trees, but the last 280 yards of the fairway is open.9Climbing the hill back to the clubhouse,No.9 is a par 4 that bends to the left. From the tees the fairway looks exceptionally wide, but the area to the right of the cart path is a broad swath of rough.Stay between the large trees on the left and the two small trees on the right. The approach shot will be from below the green. There is a bunker on the front left of the green and 10The beauty of the Bedford County setting is on display on No. 10.From the tees, look at the Peaks of Otter in the distance as the fairway drops away and the Blue Ridge is visible. The hole is a dogleg right, so the hole can be shortened by a shoThere are three bunkers near this green, two on the right and one on the left.11No. 11 is a sweeping par 5 that favors a player who can bend the ball to the left.A local rule has out of bounds stakes between the tenth and eleventh holes to prevent players from straightening out the hole by cutting through No. 10. Still, keeping the ball lefThe green sits on the left at the top of the fairway. It's guarded by four bunkers in front and the trees close behind.12The advice on this hole has long been "aim between the trees, like it's a field goal."No. 12 is the only par 3 on the course that doesn't involve a tee shot over water.It's simple, but the three greenside bunkers still make an accurate shot valuable.13Don't look at the yardage and think this hole is easy because it's short. No. 13 is a par 4 that has a challenge or two. Accuracy is paramount. There is a boundary on the left and The green has a bunker on each side, but the front is open. A picturesque pond sits behind the green, however, so going long is not an option.14This long par 5 has a subtle 'S' shape. A long tee shot needs to be bent to the left.There is a pond along the right side of the fairway after the first bend. The second shot is straight to the second landing area, then the hole turns back to the right at close appThere is a pond along the right side of the fairway after the first bend. The second shot is straight to the second landing area, then the hole turns back to the right at close app15This iconic par 3 is the signature hole at London Downs. No.15 is short, even by par 3 standards, but the island green makes it challenging as well as beautiful.16No. 16 is a long par 4 that's nearly straight.The green is always in sight, but so too is the fence close by on the left that serves as the boundary of the course. Fairway bunkers penalize tee shots that miss the fairway, whil17The second of three par 4s to finish, No 17 has a slight bend to the left. It's important not to hit the approach too long;just behind the green are backyards and houses which are, O-Bviously, out of bounds. The only greenside bunker is on the back left, so the front is unguarded. This hole plays bettejust behind the green are backyards and houses which are, O-Bviously, out of bounds.

Once the fairway turnsA greenside bunker on the right is well below the level of the hole.
