Hole 1

Hole Name Strangeways

From The Tee “It is important to have a good drive on this hole to generate real birdie chances.

From The Fairway Your drive must clear a ditch that runs across the full width of the fairway. The tee itself is tree lined on both sides.

On The Green Any wayward tee shot is liable to be caught by either our new irrigation reservoir, or out of bounds on the other side of the fairway. The green itself is protected by bunkers on three sides.”

Hole 2

Hole Name The Nook

From The Tee “Positioning off the tee is not vital but it will make your approach shot into the green easier.

From The Fairway Trouble lies along the whole of the right-hand side, with a ditch waiting to catch any approach shots that stray off to the left.”

On The Green

Hole 3

Hole Name The Moor

From The Tee “A precise length off the tee is beneficial when chasing a par.

From The Fairway Leave it too short and your approach shot will be blocked out, too long and you may find yourself in the rough.

On The Green The two-tier green also provides an added feature for any approach shot that finishes on the bottom tier.”

Hole 4

Hole Name The Long

From The Tee “Most of the danger on this hole lies close to the green.

From The Fairway

On The Green Any approach shot that drifts off to the right will result in a big splash. Hit it left and no doubt you’ll be left with a tricky shot across the green, and that’s if you’ve gone wide enough to avoid the bunker.”

Hole 5

Hole Name Woodside

From The Tee “Again accuracy off the tee is paramount on this hole.

From The Fairway The tee is tree-lined on both sides, giving a tunnel view of the fairway. Anything hit to the right can easily be lost in wood.

On The Green A good long tee shot placed ideally in the middle of the fairway can present the longer hitters with a chance of going for the green in two. Three greenside bunkers are however waiting for the offline approach shots.”

Hole 6

Hole Name The Dike

From The Tee “The first of the par 3’s on the front nine, and one that shouldn’t present too many prO-Blems;

From The Fairway

On The Green although any shot that drops short of the green could end up in the grass ditch that runs the full width of hole.”

Hole 7

Hole Name The Birches

From The Tee “Stroke index 18, and the easiest hole on the course; but if being a right-hander

From The Fairway you are destined to slice the ball you may find it harder than it should be. Out of bounds runs along the whole length of the right-hand side.”

On The Green

Hole 8

Hole Name Long Field

From The Tee “A long drive is a vital if you have any thoughts of reaching the green in two.

From The Fairway Ditches along the right of the fairway, and across the fairway often act as ball magnets. Try and be over aggressive and you can easily be fishing your ball out of these.”

On The Green

Hole 9

Hole Name Devil’s Alley

From The Tee “A simple Par 3, if you can hit the ball straight.

From The Fairway Anything off line will leave you searching in amongst the trees on either side of the fairway.”

On The Green

Hole 10

Hole Name Outward Bound

From The Tee “With a prevailing back wind this hole is in easy reach of all golfers,

From The Fairway although hit it slightly left or right off the tee and you can find yourself in all kinds of trouble. The fairway is flanked on both sides by both mature and young trees alike, so accuracy is the main O-Bjective on this hole.

On The Green

Hole 11

Hole Name Hot Plate

From The Tee “From the tee, a large oak tree hides the bunkers that lay waiting for any tee shot that makes it over or around the tree.

From The Fairway

On The Green Hit it too far left of the tree and you could face a blind shot over a bank to the green, with pot bunker waiting just over the bank.”

Hole 12

Hole Name Spion Kop

From The Tee “An attractive par 3, with mature woodland on two sides,

From The Fairway and bunkers all around. Leave it short and you will undoubtedly be in the sand, go too long and you’ll be in the wood.”

On The Green

Hole 13

Hole Name Wicksmere

From The Tee “Not the hardest hole on the course for no reason.

From The Fairway The dog leg right presents all kinds of trouble along the way. A big drive is required to generate a realistic chance of hitting

On The Green the green in two. The recently redeveloped pond to the right of the green adds that extra element of doubt into the mind of many a club golfer.”

Hole 14

Hole Name The Beeches

From The Tee “A relatively easy par 3, as long as you can miss

From The Fairway

On The Green the three greenside bunkers, and be aware of the out of bounds off to the right!.”

Hole 15

Hole Name Lyons Corner

From The Tee “A severe dog leg left which has started the demise of many a good medal card.

From The Fairway Hit the ball too long off the tee and you’ll run out of fairway and end up in the rough, or at best in the bunker.

On The Green Too short and you won’t be able to see the green over the trees. Too far right and you’ll be left with over 200 yards to the green. The green itself is protected by the wood on the left, and a large Hawthorn tree and bunker on the right.”

Hole 16

Hole Name Plantation

From The Tee “Recently lengthened, this hole has all of its danger of a green variety, namely trees.

From The Fairway Setting yourself up for the second shot is the main aim. Leaving the ball up the left-hand side will undoubtedly mean that you are blocked out by several large poplar trees.”

On The Green

Hole 17

Hole Name The Gorse

From The Tee “A long par 4 into the wind, with a well-protected green

From The Fairway

On The Green . On either side of the front edge is a ditch, and trees surround all but the front edge. Most club players will be faced with a second shot between 150 and 200yards, and at these distances, accuracy can cause a few prO-Blems.”

Hole 18

Hole Name Home

From The Tee “The final hole, and sometimes a welcome sight. Have you got a winning card,

From The Fairway or maybe the course has beat you once more. All you need here is a par. Hit it straight of the tee and you could have a chance.

On The Green The approach shot is a little more tricky with three greenside bunkers and out of bounds on two sides. Oh and there is the possibility of all your opponents looking on.”
