Hole 15
Hole Name Lovell’s View
From The Tee Score Index 18. Don’t be fooled. This hole looks easy on the tee but there are many things can go wrong. Bunkers front right and left. Carry the left one to be met from another. Too much club and you are in trouble at the back with long rough and bushes.

Hole 18
Hole Name The Green Lady
From The Tee This is one of the most difficult holes on the course. It can easily wreck a good score.
From The Fairway A Long hole with a large dip at the start of the fairway. Uphill most of the way from here generally into the wind. Fairway drops, then rises with O.o.B running down the left hand side, so aim right almost at the fairway bunker.
