Hole 1
Hole Name The Oaks
From The Tee
From The Fairway The opening hole is called 'The Oaks' after the majestic oak trees that used to stand to the right of the fairway. The hole slopes downhill all the way but an accurate drive is essential in order to find the green with the second shot. There is a bunker on the left and, on the right, and a grass mound to catch any shot which is poorly hit. The green too is tricky for its slopes away from the tee a

Hole 2
Hole Name Braids
From The Tee This hole is known as "Braids", after James Braids, who put in the bunker about 20 yards short of the green. This bunker makes the green appear deceptively near after a good straight drive. Therefore one should be aware of playing short and catching the bunker with the approach shot. A good firm shot to the back of the green is required.

Hole 3
Hole Name The Pulpit
From The Tee The longest hole on the course and a stiff par 4. The drive from a small tee set in the side of the hill and the hole takes its name, "The Pulpit" from this. A hooked shot here could land in the out of bounds on the left but a straight drive should leave one in a good position for a shot into rising ground to the green. As the fairway slopes from right to left, one should keep up to the right but

Hole 4
Hole Name The Shortest
From The Tee After the longest hole on the course one is immediately faced with "The Shortest". A straight forward firm shot over the pond should find the green, which slopes towards the tee.

Hole 5
Hole Name Tom's Puddle
From The Tee The drive here is most important. A poorly hit shot will find plenty of trouble about 100 yards from the tee where there is a road and a hedge with a ditch just beyond it. That is not all, for there is also a small reedy pond known as "Tom's Puddle" just over the road. Once these hazards have been safely negotiated the fairway slopes round to the left and an accurate shot is required to find the g

Hole 6
Hole Name The Cornfield
From The Tee Beware of a hook on the left is an out of bounds fence and just beyond it is a cornfield from which the hole takes its name. The hole faces due - west and therefore the wind has a big part in the way it is played. Careful choice of club is necessary and a good bold shot has to be played to find the green in front of which there are four bunkers.

Hole 7
Hole Name Rest & Be Thankful
From The Tee
From The Fairway "Rest & Be Thankful" is the appropriate name given to this hole for one might feel one has earned a rest after having played it successfully. Uphill all the way, the fairway has two sloping banks in it on the front of the green. The best way to play the hole is to drive to just below the first band. An accurate second shot is then required to the green, which is built into the shoulder of the hill

Hole 8
Hole Name The Road Hole
From The Tee A long, difficult short hole which is called "The Road Hole" because a road encountered at the fifth is crossed again here. Three bunkers guard the approach to the green on the right hand side with another on the left; the entrance to the green is only 20 yards wide. Accuracy as well as length is therefore important to reach the green from the tee.

Hole 9
Hole Name The Double Decker
From The Tee
From The Fairway A good finishing hole which brings one back to the clubhouse. The fairway is slightly dog-legged to the right and goes uphill in two large curves to the terraced green. Keeping the drive well up the right should ensure that the ball runs down the slope to the centre of the fairway. A firmly struck approach shot to the terraced green is challenging but rewarding if the ball rests on the correct pla
