Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A tricky opening hole. Players should favour the right side of the fairway to allow the slope to move the ball back down to a plateau.
On The Green Players being too aggressive off the tee risk going in the large fairway bunker. The green has a large tier and the safe option is to hit the lower tier no matter where the flag is. A four is always a good score here.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A fairly straight forward Par 5 missing the fairway bunkers off the tee is a must if the player is looking to get on in regulation.
On The Green At 583yards off the back tee this is the second longest hole on the course although with the right bounce off fairway mounds it can play much shorter.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee With two well positioned bunkers off the tee mean the drive must be straight.
From The Fairway Find the fairway and you are prime position to attack the flag. Make sure you take enough club as the second shot is uphill.
On The Green
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee A draw off the tee shortens this hole dramatically (if you carry the deep bunker)
From The Fairway
On The Green but the green is the real danger here as it slopes away and to the left. Very easy to put a ball through the back and leave a tricky up and down. A par here is worth its weight in gold.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee The first of the par threes draws players to the front right bunker.
From The Fairway
On The Green Aim for the middle of the green and take enough club.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The second Par 5 is all about the tee shot.
From The Fairway
On The Green The trees left and right are intimidating and commitment to the shot is key. Once on top of the rise favour the left hand side to leave an easier pitch into the green.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole all depends on the wind and can play from a wood to a mid-iron
From The Fairway
On The Green . The bank on the left always helps the ball towards the green hence the name “Member’s Bounce”.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee A tough hole all round. A blind tee shot with a severe sloping
From The Fairway fairway to the right is tough to hit. A tee shot a fraction left of the marker should be perfect but the elements can play havoc.
On The Green The second shot is downhill and can make clubbing difficult to a long green. Don’t be upset with a bogey, there are plenty of chances yet.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee A short hole, the long hitter may want to have a go at.
From The Fairway The fairway kicks to the right and can push the ball towards the trees. When putting on the top tier the ball moves more towards the hotel more than you think.
On The Green
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee This monster of a Par 5 is named “Grand Old Oak” and you will see why soon enough.
From The Fairway The hole is 628yards long and the second shot is the important one. The Old Oak blocks a large part of the fairway and position is key.
On The Green
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee The hardest hole on the course is fraught with danger.
From The Fairway The adjacent fairway is out of bounds and the fairway is tough to hit. The lake to the left of
On The Green the green waits to catch any stray shots. Play this sensibly though and you will pick up shots on the field.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee A draw shot off the tee opens this hole up.
From The Fairway
On The Green The small tier at the top of the green is only for the bravest of players and you must be pinpoint with your clubbing.
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee This Par 5 is statistically the easiest but still must be managed well.
From The Fairway Favour the left hand side off the tee and you can move the ball around the corner to leave a shorter third. Get too brave and the large trees may block you out.
On The Green
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee PrO-Bably the best birdie chance on the course but don’t take this hole for granted.
From The Fairway The slopey fairway kicks balls towards the trouble and the lake next to the green awaits those that get too greedy.
On The Green
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee A tricky green to hit. The big bunker at the front pushes people left. However,
From The Fairway the ground falls away here and kicks the ball towards the trees. The front flag position is the one to attack as the green funnels the ball down towards the hole.
On The Green
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee This hole is called “The Long Draw” and you can see why.
From The Fairway The longer hitters can take the corner on and have a short pitch to the green.
On The Green Most people play to the corner leaving a mid –iron. The green is deceptively long so make sure of your yardage.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee PrO-Bably the toughest par 3 on the course.
From The Fairway The green is long and thin with two bunkers either side waiting to catch any stray shots.
On The Green Getting up and down from these is tough as they sit well below the surface of the green.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee A great finishing hole. A good drive down the right hand side leaves a mid-iron to a large green
From The Fairway
On The Green . Make sure you don’t go left as the large tree blocks out the green and par becomes a tough score. The small lake near the green catches all those who lose concentration so close to the finish.
