Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Uphill tee and second shot to a slightly sloping green, with long rough waiting on both sides for any wayward shot. It’s a good walk up this hole, but the views alone are worth it!!
From The Fairway
On The Green Uphill tee and second shot to a slightly sloping green, with long rough waiting on both sides for any wayward shot. It’s a good walk up this hole, but the views alone are worth it!!
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Downhill all the way to the green, this short par 4 can be reached with as little as a 7 iron –
From The Fairway
On The Green but be careful…protected by out of bounds on the left and right, with long rough behind the green and a strip to clear at the tee this hole often gets the better of you.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Slight right to left dogleg, blind par three with long rough to the right, out of bounds to the left, bunker to catch slightly left attempts. Simple par three…not. From this tee you are sheltered from the wind, so club selection is often tricky.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The course’s signature and longest hole, with out of bounds on the left marked by the Ladhope Burn,
From The Fairway the shortest and riskiest way in is to play down the left side. Plenty of room to bale out right onto the 9th fairway, but with Finlay’s Creek running across the fairway at 320 yards, do you play up in two or go for it?
On The Green The elevated green with punishing run offs to the side and front puts another O-Bstacle in the way of a par. Make sure you’re up, otherwise the ball might come straight back to your feet
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Straight-forward par four from the front tee. Only out of bounds left and right,
From The Fairway
On The Green long rough to the left and uphill to the green from 200 yards out. Be sure to leave your ball below the hole or you’re in danger of putting it straight back off the green.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The easiest route on this semi blind par 3 is to aim left and hope for a good kick onto the large, elevated,
From The Fairway
On The Green two-tier green. Unless you are on the same level as the hole, a birdie putt is often just an attempt to get it close and walk off with your 3.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee Named after the great Harry Vardon who played here after the course was opened, this is possibly the hardest hole on the course.
From The Fairway The sloping fairway takes every shot to the right, even your approach to the green will be taken to the right. Any pitch short will be punished by rolling down the hill into the rough. Aiming 20-30 yards to the left is the norm here.
On The Green
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Elevated tees to a sloping green with the protective Captain’s Bunker at the front right.
From The Fairway
On The Green Out of bounds on the left harks back to when this hole was a par four from tees next to the previous green, but now you need to be miles left to reach O-B.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Tall firs and out of bounds on the left for your drive up a sloping fairway.
On The Green Make sure to get over the crest or reaching in two is a tough task. For the second shot to a green cut into the hill, take an extra club and aim at the tree to the left of the green, as everything usually goes right. Depending on pin location, this hole is often the chance to sneak a birdie to make the drink at the 19th taste a little bit sweeter!
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Uphill all the way on the shortest hole on the course. Long rough catches any drive going slightly left. Try and leave your ball below the hole and it’ll be a good birdie chance.

From The Fairway

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Straighter and shorter than the 3rd, still a semi blind tee shot par three.
From The Fairway
On The Green A well struck shot to right half of the green will kick down nicely into range for a birdie putt. A miss right leaves a tricky chip down a steep slope, a miss left is a big no-no.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee Double dog-legs don’t come around too often. Out of bounds left and right all the way to
From The Fairway
On The Green the green. A good drive can catch a helpful kick from the downslope, which can make this reachable in two. Ideal for golfers who can hit shots both ways.
