Hole Name
From The Tee The home of our former Captain Mr. Jack Holmes; the architect and inspiration for the expansion of the course to 18 holes, had his home
From The Fairway
On The Green From the back tee, trees encroach from the right forcing the tee shot left. Care must be taken with the approach shot to avoid two shallow bunkers either side of the raised McKenzie green.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Named in recognition of Michael Atherton; Captain and opening batsmen for England and Lancashire. Former resident of Woodhouses and member of the adjacent Cricket Club.
From The Fairway Out of bounds needs to be avoided down the left side of the fairway boarded
On The Green by Poplar, Birch and Maple trees. A second shot to a green and fairway, which slopes away from the player, takes great control and judgment; too long and a bunker awaits!

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee There is a stretch of water guarding the front of the green and hidden from view from the 5th tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green A very difficult par three, uphill and over a water hazard to a raised McKenzie green bunkered at the back. The two small ponds and a shallow brook will gather a weak approach shot

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The nearby hamlet was originally called Waterhouses, but local 19th century writer and poet Ben Brierley called it Daisy Nook in a popular book "A Day Out" and the name caught on.
From The Fairway A straight drive is required to bisect the road to the right and birch trees the left, the trees planted along the left of the fairway cause many a prO-Blem. The second shot is semi-blind, but there are no bunkers to worry about.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee The gable end of a large Dutch barn stands guard over the Western end of the course beside the 7th hole.
From The Fairway
On The Green A picturesque hole. From an elevated tee to a green surrounded on three sides by bunkers with a severe slope behind. A precise tee shot is required.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Named after the neighbouring farm and the river and Valley over which, the remainder of the course traverses.
From The Fairway
On The Green he prettiest hole you will ever see. The drive must be threaded between two ancient trees, while the River Medlock meanders down the right and cuts across the front of the green to collect a poor approach shot.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The 9th hole covers the area of the valley historically known as PrO-Bert’s Hollow.
From The Fairway
On The Green Possibly the most demanding tee shot on the course. With a river to cross, trees on the right and the birch on the left will O-Bscure any drive that is not central. A blind second shot, sheltered from the breeze, to a flat green can be difficult to judge; beware of the right hand bunker!

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee The 10th fairway is dominated by a single mature Sycamore tree. Play round or over, but rarely through it.
From The Fairway The only par five, but power and accuracy are required off the tee if a par is to be made. Out of bounds along the right forces the player left, increasing the length of the hole. The approach cannot be mis-judged if the bunker and the river are to be missed.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Both the green and white tee are built on plateau either side of the Valley.
From The Fairway
On The Green Another testing par three to an elevated green over the river. A bank of rowan trees protect the left and right sides. The upturned saucer-shaped green will throw a weak tee shot into the bunkers.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Wonderful views of the whole course and the Medlock Valley.
From The Fairway
On The Green A short par four uphill, the rough must be carried off the tee leaving a short approach to a narrow, well-bunkered green. A magnificent view of the course can be seen from here.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Out of bounds on the right, fairway bunkers left and right means a straight tee shot is required on this hole.
On The Green The second shot over the pond to a small McKenzie bunker protected green requires great accuracy. A difficult putt awaits any player whose ball finishes on the wrong level.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee The local Country Park and beauty spot lies just beyond the 14th green.
From The Fairway
On The Green A long par three with a semi-blind tee shot. Trust the yardage and avoid the bunkers left and right of the green.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Many years ago there was a narrow bridge across the River Medlock just next to what is now the 15th green. It was thought to be less than sturdy and was known to all as the "Shaky Bridge".
From The Fairway The tee shot must be positioned for both accuracy and distance on this hole. The approach shot is invariably off a down hill lie with a large copse of trees to the left and the river eating into the right-hand side of the fairway;
On The Green bunkers left and right protect the green. Many a card has ended here

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee The woods next to the 16th green are home to several families of badgers, as well as lots of other wild life.
From The Fairway From an elevated tee, the shot needs to be positioned to the right of the single tree on top of the plateau. The left-hand side offers the best approach to the secluded green, but the river winds across and to the left of the fairway.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee The River Medlock travels in front of the 17th tee, bending in an arc in front of the green.
From The Fairway
On The Green Another scenic hole dropping some hundred feet from the tee over the river to a green bunkered either side. Good club selection is essential.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee Anyone who has played Brookdale will know why it is named so. If you haven’t played; come and find out!
From The Fairway
On The Green Trees and a high bank of rough to the right and the River Medlock to the left, a good strike up the middle will suffice. This leaves a short, uphill approach to a small green with deep bunkers to the left. Like all good finishing holes the green is in full view of the clubhouse and balcony.
