1An interesting start to the round with the tee enclosed by some very large trees leaving quite a narrow exit into a fairway that slopes wickedly from left to right. The further bac2This hole plays very differently dependent upon which tee is being used. The general play tees are slightly below the hole with the green partially blocked by a copse of conifers.

The hole falls away down a steep slope 4This is the first hole on the front nine with any bunkers. Rumoured to be a legacy of designer Sir George Sitwell who decreed that no bunkers should be visible from the hall as it 5Whilst none of the Par 3’s at Renishaw are overly long they all have the characteristic of small greens with narrow entrances.

The rise in the fairway means the hole plays longer than its actual yardage a7The position is again vital from the tee as a blind second shot awaits over the hill to a generous green.

Both members and visitors alike have a love /hate relationship with the hole as it can10After crossing the road visitors will immediately notice that the back 9 is much flatter with slightly wider fairways albeit all of still tree lined. The 10th is the first of 4 Par11A large mature Ash tree on the left hand side of the fairway diverts many balls on this second Par 5 which is probably the toughest of the four. The fairway narrows on the tee shot12A walk back parallel to the left of 11 brings you to the tee of the delightful short Par 4 12th. This is a 90 degree dog leg left which has become much more difficult as trees have13One word describes this long par 3 – tough.
