Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: A good opening hole, usually played downwind.
From The Fairway However to reach the green in two, your drive has to be down the right half of the fairway.
On The Green Otherwise the best plan is to lay up short of the big bunker on the right leaving a pitch up the full length of the green.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: A very demanding par 3. Played into the prevailing wind it requires a very straight long iron shot. Bunker and burn await the shot going left and if you miss on the right hand side you will have a tricky pitch. Be happy with a 3!

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: First of the long par 4’s.
From The Fairway The drive should favour the left side of the fairway but watch out for the bunker about 220 yards from the tee. The second shot with a long iron or wood must be kept between the two big bunkers left and right.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: A lot depends on the wind. Downwind a long hitter can carry the hill and be hitting a short iron –
From The Fairway
On The Green sounds easy! However into the wind you have to decide whether or not to carry the burn in two. The approach to the green must be accurate as the ball is thrown off in all directions.

From The Tee sounds easy! However into the wind you have to decide whether or not to carry the burn in two.
From The Fairway
On The Green The approach to the green must be accurate as the ball is thrown off in all directions.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: Good par 3 with long, narrow green. The tee shot must carry the bunker at the front of the green.
From The Fairway
On The Green The best bet is to play for the right half of the green, however the dreaded burn awaits the slice.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Tip: The tee shot should favour the left half of the fairway to avoid running into the trees up the right-hand side.
On The Green The green is a fairly generous target, but your second shot, usually played into the wind, is very deceptive – always hit one extra club here.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: Most difficult of the par 5’s. Long hitters must lay up short of the burn with the tee shot.
From The Fairway
On The Green The second shot must be left of centre leaving the easiest approach. The green slopes a lot from back to front so don’t be past the pin. A true three shot par 5 so be happy with par.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Tip: The tee shot is played between the fairway bunkers.
On The Green From level with bunkers you have a shot of 100 yards to a big green – the only one on the course without any bunkers. Make sure you are up, as the burn will catch the mis-hit second shot.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: An elevated tee allows you to see all the trouble! Five big bunkers will catch the tee shot that is short or inaccurate. Hit one extra club as there is no trouble at the back.
From The Fairway
On The Green

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: Stroke index 1 and justifiably so.
From The Fairway The drive between the trees must hit the fairway to give you a chance of reaching the green in two. Into the prevailing wind most players should play for a five.
On The Green The approach shot to the green should be left of centre avoiding trees and bunkers. Again, a deceptive approach with a lot of dead ground in front of the green.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: A very good driving hole. The drive must be right of centre avoiding the group of bunkers on the left.
From The Fairway
On The Green However, your prO-Blems are not over yet as your second shot uphill must be accurate. This is one occasion when short of the pin is better as you are looking at three putts from the back of this green.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: check where pin is on 16th green (to your right).
From The Fairway The drive should be aimed left of the two fairway bunkers. Don’t drive right as there is no way into the green.
On The Green The second shot should be aimed just inside the Temple as the ball will kick to the left. If the pin is on the left-hand side be very wary with your putt – it’s not the first time someone has putted off this green.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: Shortest and prO-Bably the easiest par 3 on the course.
From The Fairway
On The Green Don’t be complacent though. Your tee shot has to be hit far enough to avoid the burn and the very deep bunkers at the front of this green. No trouble at the back.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: Dog-leg right. Aim your tee shot left of the small tree at the top of the hill.
From The Fairway Easiest approach is from the left side of the fairway where a short iron can set up one of the best birdie chances on the course.
On The Green

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: One of the most difficult par 4’s. The drive must be straight as two big trees guard the green to the right and the left.
From The Fairway
On The Green These trees are 40 yards from the middle of the green so hit one extra club for your second.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: A definite birdie opportunity.
From The Fairway Aim down the right hand side of the fairway to get a favourable bounce. In dry conditions
On The Green this green is reachable in two. Your approach shot is longer than it looks.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee Tip: Named after the great Ronnie Shade.
From The Fairway
On The Green Just because he always made a three does not mean this is a push-over! From the medal tee your drive must be right of centre avoiding the groups of trees on the left. A good drive will leave a medium to short iron to a generous target. Try to ignore the burn as it is twenty yards short of the middle of the green.
