Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee An initial wood should aim to keep you on the crest of the valley,
From The Fairway
On The Green leaving you a short iron into a sloping green guarded by a deep bunker on the left. A short second shot into the green will be punished by the slope of the apron.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Another deceptively gentle par 4 will require an accurate tee shot down
From The Fairway the left hand side of the sloping fairway if you are to avoid running into the rough on the right.
On The Green
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A long but beautiful par 4 which plays very long if the wind is not in your favour.
From The Fairway As with the previous hole an accurate drive down the left hand side of the fairway will keep your ball in the middle left of the fairway and open the green.
On The Green An accurate approach is required as bunkers guard both left and right of the relatively deep green.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee This is a lovely mid-range par 3 that requires an accurate tee shot.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is relatively flat but has some gentle borrows to make life interesting.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Your first par 5 is an excellent test of your ability. A straight drive will see you over the left hand bunker and sitting in the middle of
From The Fairway the fairway. Now, do you take on the bunker which lies across the fairway 100yards short of the green or do you play safe and lay up?
On The Green
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee This exquisite, short par 4 needs a careful tee shot to land (and stay!)
From The Fairway on the fairway avoiding the woods on both sides. (If it’s late summer help yourself to the cherries on the trees!)
On The Green
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A delightful dogleg par 5 needs a careful tee shot to stay away from the bunker on the right of the fairway.
On The Green A long tee shot will give a chance of reaching the green in 2 and a possible eagle. The green is big and inviting but will always slope right to left.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee An excellent hole, full of questions about how to play it.
From The Fairway Should I play safe, straight down the middle between the marker posts, leaving myself a mid-iron,
On The Green or am I really long enough to shave the trees and leave myself a short pitch to the green? The green has enough interesting slopes to test you once you get there, whatever your chosen route!
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee This is a satisfying hole to par. Almost always into
From The Fairway the prevailing wind the flag on the pin often seems as though it is blowing the opposite way to the Club
On The Green flag on the pole behind the green! Bunkers guard the approach to both tiers of the green. You may need a club more than you think!
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee A carefully driven tee shot will see you in the middle of
From The Fairway the fairway between the markers and placement of this shot will need to be accurate to ensure access to
On The Green the two tier green surrounded by the council of trees. Don’t be greedy! The green is a delight unless you have to putt down from the upper level!
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee The wonderful downhill par 3 is a golfer’s hole. Surrounded by bunkers and wind only in evidence once your ball rises above the trees.
From The Fairway
On The Green It looks simple and you must land on the green and not go over it. Once you’re there the green has excellent borrows to test you.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee A very short, low index par 4 hole where you can get shots back -
From The Fairway
On The Green if you are accurate. Send your drive down the left hand side, chip onto the left to right sloping green and you’re there. Long hitters can drive the green - just!
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee This is a very generous par 5 and a long drive just to the right of
From The Fairway the left fairway bunker will allow many golfers to reach the green in 2. But everything draws the ball right into bunkers on both the drive and shorter second shots!
On The Green The green itself is generous with a few surprises and gentle borrows.
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee A gorgeous, testing hole, often into wind and which requires accuracy and bravery to achieve par.
From The Fairway Send your drive down the left hand side of the fairway, avoiding the bunkers, and you will open up the two tier green. A mid to long iron accurately placed below the hole will offer the chance of a birdie up the slope.
On The Green
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Possibly the most challenging and therefore the most gratifying hole on the course.
From The Fairway
On The Green Accuracy is required to avoid the trees on both sides and the wall on the left. A lone tree asks questions of those with a good draw shot. The green rewards with gentle borrows.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Possibly the Club’s signature hole with marvellous views of both the course and the countryside around it.
From The Fairway An accurate drive to the right of the left hand bunker will open the fairway for your second shot to the right of the left-hand bunker.
On The Green You will need to be sure of your distance to put the ball on the green with your third shot over the guardian bunkers. The green is a wonderful challenge with curves and rolls. A par is an excellent score.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee A carefully placed drive between the bunkers will leave you a mid to long iron onto the left to right sloping green on this lovely hole.
From The Fairway
On The Green You must avoid the deep bunker in front of the green on the left and an approach below the hole will serve you in good stead.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee Homeward bound is a fairly straightforward hole but the trees which guard
From The Fairway the fairway at the midpoint can pose an interesting challenge to the wayward. A clear, well-placed,
On The Green shot to the green, threading its way through or over the bunkers, gains a prO-Bable par, and a satisfactory end to an excellent round of golf. Now to the 19th and excellent cheer!
