Hole 2
Hole Name Garswood
From The Tee A long par 4 that usually plays into the prevailing wind.

On The Green
Hole 3
Hole Name Highbrooks
From The Tee A very tight drive from the back tees but then it opens out into a fairly wide fairway on this par 5 hole.
From The Fairway The 3 fairway bunkers and ditch across are to be avoided.
On The Green A difficult green to read with a central ridge which makes taking 3 putts fairly commonplace.
Hole 4
Hole Name The Dell
From The Tee A fairly long and quite narrow par 3 with trees either side and
From The Fairway
On The Green a 2 tier green that slopes upwards from front to back.
Hole 5
Hole Name Ravine
From The Tee Another quite difficult driving hole on this par 4 dog-leg right.
From The Fairway There is a ravine and trees to be avoided.

Hole 8
Hole Name Outcrop
From The Tee A fairly long uphill par 4 playing into the prevailing wind.
From The Fairway
On The Green The trees on the right will catch a wayward drive and 2 green-side bunkers need to be avoided when playing to this 2 tier green.
Hole 9
Hole Name Gerrard's View
From The Tee The drive on this par 4 has to avoid the ditch across and up
From The Fairway the right side of the fairway and if done so the approach is fairly straightforward although the trees to the right can also catch a wayward drive.
On The Green A green-side bunker to the left and slope to the right can make missing the green costly.
Hole 10
Hole Name Omaha
From The Tee On this par 4 the trees to the left and ditch and bunker to the right call for accuracy off the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is guarded by a ditch across the front but no green-side bunkers to worry about.
Hole 11
Hole Name Rookeries
From The Tee A long par 4 which deserves the stroke index 1 rating.
From The Fairway A drive has to avoid the trees left and right and the ditch across the fairway.
On The Green The long second shot needs to be accurate to a green sloping downwards from front to back.
Hole 12
Hole Name Orchard
From The Tee A very tight driving hole on this par 4 with trees either side.
From The Fairway The fairway then opens out to give an approach shot to a fairly long but quite narrow green.
On The Green
Hole 13
Hole Name Lakeside
From The Tee A par 3 to a large green with bushes to the right and a green-side bunker to the left.
From The Fairway
On The Green The borrow on the green usually provides a challenging putting surface.
Hole 14
Hole Name Cansfield
From The Tee Once again the drive on this par 4 needs to avoid trees

On The Green The big tree and bunker to the left of the green provide a challenging approach and the green also has some subtle borrows.
Hole 15
Hole Name Willows
From The Tee Although not too long for a par 3 there are trees and
From The Fairway
On The Green a pond down the left hand side and the raised green is protected by two green-side bunkers.
Hole 16
Hole Name Hellfire
From The Tee A signature hole for the course.
From The Fairway
On The Green The very tight drive on this par 4 is well guarded by trees either side and a long approach to the big green has bunkers either side.
Hole 17
Hole Name Spinney
From The Tee Accuracy from the tee on this par 5 is key.
From The Fairway The fairway pond (the Spinney) has to be negotiated by either the narrow gap to the left or hitting over it.
On The Green Once achieved there is still much to do to make par as the 3 tier green is well guarded by bunkers on the approach.
Hole 18
Hole Name Boundary
From The Tee This is very much a risk and reward par 4.
From The Fairway An iron from the tee is the choice of many playing for position on the fairway whilst the adventurous player can take driver and risk the trees,
On The Green bunker or out of bounds to the left and also straight ahead. Once on the green there are many subtle borrows to be negotiated.
