Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Accuracy is much more important than distance on this opening hole. Grass bunkers and a practice ground (which is out of bounds) on the right, and wiry heather and thick rough off both sides of the fairway all combine to catch any wayward tee shot.
On The Green
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This is another short par 4 but with a slightly more generous fairway than the 1st.
On The Green
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee The third is an uphill par 4 which takes a slight dog-leg to the right. Stroke index 1 for the men, it often plays longer than its yardage suggests.

On The Green
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Being slightly uphill, this short hole often plays a little longer than expected. The green is guarded by bunkers at the front and left, but missing the green long will almost certainly leave a very awkward downhill chip.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Another uphill par 4, this one has out of bounds up the right, though it needs to be a pretty wayward shot to find it. A good choice of shot is to aim at the bunker up the left side and fade back into the fairway.
On The Green
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Our first par 5 runs slightly downhill, and again there is out of bounds on the right. With trees & gorse running the full length of the hole on the left, it's just as well the fairway is pretty generous.
On The Green
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee This tree and gorse lined uphill dog-leg left is a lovely hole, one to be savoured. At stroke index 3, it clearly can be dangerous, but played well can also be very rewarding
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee This tough uphill par 3 has bunkers ready to catch anything short left or right. The pin is quite often tucked in behind the bunkers on the right.

On The Green
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The long downhill par 4 9th was once mentioned in a feat of long driving when, in September 1934, Mr T. H. V. Haydon of Royal Wimbledon was recorded as having driven to the front edge of the green on the 456 yard hole (as it measured then). Even today, with modern equipment and the wind at your back, you wonder how this green could be reachable.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee The back nine begins with a picturesque par 3 that the renowned international golf artist Graeme Baxter said was one of the best par 3s he has ever played. It has a three-tier green, bunkered front, left, and right. Finding the wrong tier can very easily result in a dreaded 3-putt (or worse!) so good club selection is important.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Our second, and final, par 5 is an uphill dog-leg to the right, with gorse up both sides. Hitting the reasonably generous fairway from the tee is imperative

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee We are certainly blessed with some very picturesque par threes, and this is another of them. The new green was introduced in July 2012 as a result of the course changes necessitated by the alteration to the Cliff Path.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee An uphill par 4 with a testing dog-leg right, this hole is deserving of its stroke index of 2.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway As with so many short par fours, it is surprisingly easy to run up a high score, though it will probably give as many birdie opportunities as most holes on the course. The best approach is from the left half of the fairway because of the bunker guarding the front right of the green.

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee This is the start of the downhill stretch back to the clubhouse, and it's worth taking a moment to enjoy the view along the coastline. The town just visible over the trees is Budleigh Salterton, and the beach in front of it curves round to Otter Head at the mouth of the River Otter.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee This is a tough hole, loved and hated pretty much in equal measure. Many feel it’s the best hole on the course. It's certainly the hardest on most occasions, as is shown by the competition statistics virtually every month.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee This is a relatively friendly finishing hole which gives the opportunity to impress those in the clubhouse with your approach shot to the green - or not! Avoid the heather down the right and the practice ground further right which is out of bounds.
