Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee From an elevated tee, the fairway is wide and favours a drive to the left to give you the best line into the green.
From The Fairway However, a wayward shot to the right will place you in the waiting bunker just off the fairway or at worst, over the cliff-top and out of bounds.
On The Green The approach shot to the pin is potentially a blind one and can prove to be very deceiving. Accuracy is of utmost on this shot due to the long and narrow nature of the green and the two greenside bunkers awaiting those wayward shots.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway With the cliff threatening from the right and a fairway bunker defending the left, any tee shot must be wholly straight and accurate at the marker post. The second shot is a blind one taking you over an incline with the remaining fairway out of sight
On The Green It’s necessary to club down with your 2nd shot as the ground falls away to a long green which slants from front to back. Protecting both sides of the green are two deep bunkers, awaiting any wayward shots.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This makes what would otherwise be a straightforward hole a tricky one to judge.
On The Green The very narrow opening to the green is guarded by strategically placed bunkers nestling at the front.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee the hole is not as easy as it might first appear with mine shafts hugging both left and right edges of the fairway to catch errant tee shots
From The Fairway As you get closer to the green, the train line comes into view with the fairway falling away to the left as the hole narrows. Therefore a shot favouring the right half of the fairway is safer but this will leave a more challenging angle for the approach.
On The Green A long narrow green awaits with undulating slopes predominately running form right to left, with the railway line lurking some ten to fifteen yards to the left to punish wayward approaches. The main difficulty of this hole is the green itself with its abundant contours and deceptive undulations
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Polmear along with all the par 3’s is a demanding hole requiring a precise iron shot to find the putting surface. Playing downhill from the back tees it plays a club shorter than its yardage.
From The Fairway
On The Green With out of bounds lurking left of the stone wall, one could be forgiven for bailing out right, but bunkers lay in wait guarding the front right section of the green. Further bunkers and slopes protect the left of the green, leaving a very difficult up and down.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The left-hand side of the fairway is the safer side but will leave a longer shot to a tricky undulating green that is potentially blind
On The Green Playing considerably uphill, club selection is key, a false front will catch any shot falling short and fall back off the front left of the green. The right half of the green is the ideal line and will feed the ball towards the centre of the green. Any shot left or long will disappear down steep banks leaving a treacherous chip shot back up to the raised green above

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The right edge of the fairway is the desired line from the tee to keep the ball on the fairway. For the longer hitters, fir trees on the left and a dense copse of trees on the right ask a question of which club to hit from the tee, is the risk of driver worth the reward?
On The Green A short yet challenging second shot awaits with a green which falls away relentlessly to the back left corner. A shot to the front right section of the green is the ideal target with the contours of the green the ball will gather towards the centre of the putting surface

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee A complex par 4 that requires a precise tee shot. Any shot straying to the right will be gathered up by the trees or finish blocked out behind them
From The Fairway The left half of the fairway is the line to strive for. The approach shot is played over a swale with two concealed bunkers lying in wait.
On The Green The green itself stretches 40 yards in length over 2 tiers so club selection can vary 2/3 clubs depending on the pin location. If in doubt hit an extra club.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Not a long hole in yardage, but a demanding one still. Club selection is important to make sure you lay up short of the old quarry - which is a hazard on this hole at 260 yards from the tee
From The Fairway The line to take from the tee is the left edge of the fairway, which is in line with the historic Polkerris Harbour in the distance, to allow for the steep slope which will push the ball down the hill
On The Green An accurate iron shot is required over the quarry to find the green. With trouble lurking anywhere right a sheer bank awaits with heavy rough lurking for any shot leaked in that direction.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee The tee shot is played downhill to a fairway guarded by trees to the left and threatened by the cliff edge to the right. The landing area is spacious but your drive needs to be positioned strategically on the left side of the fairway to compensate for the left to right gradient..
From The Fairway If the fairway is missed to the right a decision must be made if to play to the left or risk the carry over the deep inlet laying in wait for a mishit shot. The green itself is long and narrow with bunkers front left and on the right-hand side for any shot straying even slightly offline.
On The Green This short par 5 “Bream Rocks” gives you the chance to kick start your back 9. A very picturesque hole running along the cliff edge and down towards the beach located beside the green

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Harsh slopes on the right edge of the green mean there is only one place to put your tee shot and that’s on the putting surface
From The Fairway
On The Green A very narrow green is never easy to find and is surrounded by trouble on all sides. Bunkers heavily guard the left-hand side and a front right bunker will catch a weak shot to the right.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Playing back up the steepest hill on the course this hole plays well beyond it’s short yardage
From The Fairway A fairway with a left to right camber pulls the ball to the right hand rough. A tee shot favouring the left hand side which avoids the copse of trees is favourable and will leave a flatter stance for the second shot.
On The Green A double tiered green awaits with bunkers both short left and right so taking a club that carry’s to at least the middle of the green is advised

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The complexity of this hole lies initially with the gradient of the fairway. The line of the fairway bunkers in the distance is a good line to take and the ball will be drawn back towards the centre of the fairway by the contours. Any ball landing right of the fairway has little chance of staying in play.
On The Green Managing your ball up the left-hand side for the remainder of this hole is key before hitting your approach to the green

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee A drive favouring the left of centre is the perfect target from the tee,
From The Fairway as with the previous two holes, the fairway slopes significantly from left to right
On The Green A short pitch remains to a green heavily guarded by bunkers. The sensible shot is to the left side of the green where a steep slope will gather the ball back towards the centre

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee The tee shot itself pinches in at driving distance with a stone wall and hedge to the left which must be avoided at all costs. From a good tee shot
From The Fairway the second should be positioned to the left centre of the fairway to allow for the camber of the fairway. Any shot finishing too far right will find their next shot O-Bstructed by trees in their line to the green
On The Green As you approach the green the out of bounds lies close to the left, so be cautious not to stray too far

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee One of the most testing driving holes on the course, accuracy is of vital importance.
From The Fairway A successful drive down the tree-lined fairway will leave a short to mid-iron approach to the two tier green.
On The Green The tier splits the green in to a right and left section, any shot landing on the centre line of the green will follow the steep contours to the bottom level.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A challenging tee shot awaits on the 17th, with trees guarding the left edge of the fairway and out of bounds lurking to the right. Finding this fairway is of vital importance to be able to attack this green in two.
On The Green The second shot is to a green well-protected by bunkers short right and long left. Distance control needs to be precise to find the putting surface

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee Playing slightly downhill, this hole plays under its full yardage. With bunkers, bushes and out of bounds right of this green; the left-hand side is certainly the side to favour. The contours of the surrounds and green itself will gather the ball towards the centre of the green
