Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee A reasonably gentle opener to start the round but be aware of the pond and

From The Fairway trees to the right of the fairway, so favour the left side to leave yourself the best angle into a flat green.

On The Green

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee Do not automatically go to your driver, especially from the back tee as you can

From The Fairway position your drive with a shorter club to the bottom of the hill, then it's all uphill from there.

On The Green Use more club than you think on your approach to the long and narrow green and keep it slightly left as the slope will feed the ball in.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A dog-leg left with the slope of the fairway left to right. A draw from the tee is required.

On The Green Two bunkers guard the green on the right, so keeping your approach shot left will feed the ball off the slope onto the green. One of the toughest holes on the course.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The shortest hole on the course but it plays longer than the yardage,

From The Fairway

On The Green so take one more club to get your ball past the upslope on the front of the green. Lovely views of the sea from the green.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee One of the strongest holes on the course due to the accuracy needed from the tee, and from the second shot.

From The Fairway

On The Green The line off the tee is the large fir tree in the distance. For the approach use the contours from right to left to feed your ball onto the green away from the deep greenside bunker on the left. A par is always a good score here.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee A hole that plays harder than the yardage on the card with a

From The Fairway fairway that slopes away from the shape of the hole. The lone poplar tee on the corner is a

On The Green good line to allow the slope to do the rest. An uphill second shot to a blind green awaits you, so be aware of the greenside bunker on the left.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee A severe dog-leg to the right but there is more room to the right past the elbow of the bushes than you think,

From The Fairway but watch the internal OO-B to the right. A strong cut from the tee is preferred to hold the sloping fairway.

On The Green You will then be left with a second shot that needs to negotiate two deep greenside bunkers and on to a severely sloping green from right to left.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Don't be too cute here as it is very easy to leak the ball right into the trees.

From The Fairway

On The Green Aiming at the small tree to the left of the green is a good line. A four is never a bad score on the longest par 3 on the course.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee The shortest par 4 on the card and a birdie chance for the longer hitters,

From The Fairway

On The Green but the hole has some bite. Precision is the key to the uphill second shot to a very small and narrow green; the smallest green in Kent!

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee A risk, reward hole, and for the longer hitters a chance to drive the green,

From The Fairway

On The Green but a shorter club is recommended to position your ball short of the two trees. From there an accurate pitch onto a small, narrow green is required to provide a definite birdie chance.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee A fairly straightforward par 5 but with a couple of hazards to negotiate.

From The Fairway Hitting the ball straight between the bunkers and the trees will set you up for a real birdie opportunity.

On The Green Course management is crucial. If you cannot get home in two, then lay up short of the left bunker just before the green, and pitch the ball onto the green from there.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee An elevated green means a straight shot is required.

From The Fairway

On The Green Hit more club than you think as many players come up short and all the trouble is in front of the green. A welcome break is awaiting you, with refreshment available at the half-way hut.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee A straight tee shot is key on this hole as trees and an internal out of bounds await an errant drive.

From The Fairway

On The Green The only tip for the approach shot is keep the ball short of the hole as the green slopes severely from back to front.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee It is uphill all the way to a treacherous green which slopes hard from back to front.

From The Fairway

On The Green Try not to go over the back of the green as you will encounter an Augusta like chip shot.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A big drop to the fairway makes this tee shot very inviting, but be mindful of the trees to the right.

On The Green The approach shot is tricky as distance is deceptive to a green that slopes from right to left. Like many shots at Chestfield, use the contours to feed the ball towards the hole and it will pay dividends.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee A green that is surrounded by bunkers, so use enough club to fly over the bunkers at the front, or run up between them. A par 3 is always a good result.

On The Green A green that is surrounded by bunkers, so use enough club to fly over the bunkers at the front, or run up between them. A par 3 is always a good result.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee All aspects of your game will be tested here. An accurate tee shot down the left side of

From The Fairway the fairway is required due to the fairway sloping right and pushing the ball towards the trees, pond and ditch.

On The Green This will leave you an uphill second shot onto a multi-tiered green. Not a long hole, but it is one of the hardest on the course.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee A short par 4 welcomes you back to the clubhouse and the 19th!

From The Fairway A drive to the right or over the bunker for the longer hitters will leave you a short approach shot to

On The Green one of the flatter greens at Chestfield. Watch out though, the green drops away severely at the back towards the putting green.
