Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 1 - Burton Drive: 427 yards, Par 4, SI 4 A challenging dogleg par 4 to begin your round.
From The Fairway A long drive to the centre of the fairway will provide the best line into the green. However, an errant drive to the right will bring two large ponds into play and flirt with the OO-B.
On The Green Anything left will leave a long shot in. An accurate second shot is needed to hold the two-tiered green that falls steeply off on the left-hand side and is protected by a bunker on the front right.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 2 - Larkrise: 390 yards, Par 4, SI 2 Into the prevailing wind, this is a tough ‘2 shotter’
From The Fairway that needs a good drive up the centre (marker post) followed by a precise second as
On The Green the green is protected by bunkers left and right. Most players come up short with the deceptive slightly uphill distance so take one more club than you think.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 3 – Chesil: 535 yards, Par 5, SI 10 A tough par 5 that requires good positional shots and planning.
From The Fairway
On The Green Aim your drive down the left-hand side so as to avoid the large depression on the right. For your second shot check your yardage and take a club to leave a full approach to a well-guarded large green that falls away from you. This hole has spectacular views over Chesil Beach and across Lyme Bay to Portland Bill.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 4 – Freshwater: 169 yards, Par 3, SI 14 A great par 3 to test all golfers.
From The Fairway
On The Green A well-struck shot aimed at the left centre of this left-to-right sloping green is ideal. The two front bunkers must be avoided. Most players come up short on the rising ground so make sure you take enough club.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 5 – Shepherds Hut: 521 yards, Par 5, SI 8 A double dog leg that big
From The Fairway hitters can reach in two by cutting across an area of thick rough and the Shepherds Hut. To do this a long drive up the left-hand side of the fairway is a necessity. However,
On The Green if the prevailing South Westerly wind is blowing then treat this hole with respect. A good drive up the centre is necessary to allow a full second shot around the corner. You are then faced with a challenging approach shot.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 6 – Port Coombe: 129 yards, Par 3, SI 16 The jewel in the crown.
From The Fairway PrO-Bably the most spectacular and photographed Par 3 you have ever played. Voted in the top 50 par 3’s in GB & Ireland.
On The Green The tee stands proudly on top of the cliff, part of the Jurassic Coast, and looks beguilingly down almost to beach level at a testing green surrounded by bunkers. Club selection is always difficult with players hitting anything from a wedge to a 5 iron or more!
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 7 – North Hill: 248 yards, Par 4, SI 18 A short par 4 up the hill and a hole that long hitters can reach with a good drive.
From The Fairway However, the green is protected by four-pot bunkers at the front so to secure your par play a shorter club up the centre of the fairway to leave a simple approach to the flag.
On The Green
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 8 – Shipton: 358 yards, Par 4, SI 12 A relatively straightforward dogleg par 4 that rewards a good drive.
From The Fairway
On The Green Judgement of distance with your approach is all-important to a fast-running green that slopes from right to left. Avoid the bunkers at the front of this green at all costs.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 9 – Colmer’s Hill: 361 yards, Par 4, SI 6 Favour the right side of
From The Fairway the fairway with your tee shot and then you will have the best line to the green for your second.
On The Green A drive to the right will bring 2 deep bunkers and OO-B into play and to the left another deep bunker will need to be avoided. Again, take one more club than you think for your second as most shots come up short due to the rising ground. A testing par 4 to finish the front 9.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 10 – Swans Dip: 175 yards, Par 3, SI 11 A tough start to the back 9.
From The Fairway A positive shot from the tee is needed to carry a large pond in front of the green. Check your yardage and favour an extra club to safely carry the trouble.
On The Green A par 3 here sets you up for a great back 9. After this hole on-course toilets are available, and on special days, refreshments from the halfway house.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 11 – Hardy’s View: 396 yards, Par 4, SI 3 The drive is critical
From The Fairway here and long hitters need to be aware of a hidden bunker in the centre of the fairway which is tiered and the best line in is from the lower left-hand side.
On The Green An errant drive to the right will invariably find heavy rough and very little chance of reaching the green in two. The green slopes from right to left so always try to leave a putt from below the hole. A testing hole and a great par 4.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 12 – Golden Cap: 494 yards, Par 5, SI 7 A tough dogleg par 5 even on a calm day.
From The Fairway From an elevated tee with spectacular sea views the drive is across the valley to an uphill sloping fairway. If you find the centre of this fairway you are faced with a long
On The Green second shot over an integral stone wall using the marker post for direction. Achieve the fairway again and you have a relatively straightforward pitch into the green. However, there is a bunker and large depression on the right.
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 13 – Stonewall: 374 yards, Par 4, SI 9 As the name suggests a stone wall is an integral O-Bstacle on this hole.
From The Fairway
On The Green However, even a good drive down the centre will leave a tricky second to a well-guarded green with bunkers left and right. As all the trouble is close to the front of the green a shot to the centre would be beneficial.
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 14 – Ravens Perch: 158 yards, Par 3, SI 15 A superb par 3 where the wind will always play its part.
From The Fairway
On The Green The tee shot needs to be struck with confidence at a two-tiered green that is near the cliff edge and surrounded by bunkers. From the tee, the ground rises so take one more club than you think and give yourself every chance of walking off with an excellent par.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 15 – Lyme View: 443 yards, Par 4, SI 1 Against the prevailing wind, even the long hitters will struggle to get near the green in two.
From The Fairway
On The Green A good drive will pass the three bunkers on the right-hand side leaving over 200 yards to a well-bunkered green on the right. Please be aware of OO-B on the left-hand side, If you do hit your ball OO-B please take extreme care as the cliff edge is very close. The green is large and slopes from left to right so a par 4 here is quite an achievement.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 16 – West Bay: 551 yards, Par 5, SI 5 Turning for home and the longest hole on the golf course awaits.
From The Fairway To get any chance of getting to the green in two shots a long drive down the centre is required. The fairway slopes gently downhill, the second shot has to carry an old quarry or
On The Green failing that the golfer will be playing a blind third to the green from the fairway. In any event, a par 5 will be achieved providing the undulating green can be mastered. There are no bunkers near the green.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 17 – Copse Corner: 349 yards, Par 4, SI 13 A short par 4 that offers some respite from the previous two holes.
From The Fairway A drive up the right-hand side of the fairway avoiding two dangerous bunkers should then move to the left using the sloping fairway and leave a relatively simple approach to a long green.
On The Green Bunkers protect both the left and right-hand sides of the green so par is not assured but it would be disappointing to drop a shot here.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 18 – Home: 183 yards, Par 3, SI 17 The closing hole and a great par 3 that is in front of the clubhouse.
From The Fairway A tee shot to the centre of the green will set up a birdie opportunity, but anything hit left can reach the OO-B.
On The Green A large green with subtle undulations will test your putting skills. Get a three on your card here and it will be a fine way to finish your round at Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club
