Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name HAROLD'S GAP
From The Tee At first glance Harold’s Gap appears to be a benign hole being a Par 5 hole with a distance of 489 yards from the white tees.
From The Fairway However, with out of bounds on the right and trees both large and small on both sides of the fairway it soon shows its true colours.
On The Green Off the tee on the right hand side is a lateral hazard ditch which runs from a point level with the tee down to the first stand of trees.

Hole 2
Hole Name THE POND
From The Tee
From The Fairway The pond is a par 4 and is the most difficult hole on the course. Apart from the trees on either side of the fairway there is very little to worry you with the drive. Longer hitters beware of the ditch which runs right across the fairway and the pond which is on the right hand side of the ditch.
On The Green

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee The Ditch is a par 4 and appears to be a relatively easy hole but don’t let looks fool you.
From The Fairway Around 150 yards from the tee on the right is a pond with a water feature and a stream running in a ditch away from it to the left into another pond. These ponds will catch out any fluffed shot off the tee.
On The Green Low handicap players will have no problem in this area and should get their ball past the 150 yard marker leaving them a medium or short iron shot into the green.

Hole 4
Hole Name VALLEY
From The Tee The Valley is a daunting Par 3 but don’t be put off by this although it is not for the faint hearted.
From The Fairway Standing on the tee the golfer is faced with driving over a steep, wooded valley and a pond with two large, deep bunkers guarding the front of the green.
On The Green This green has a steep slope from the back of the green to the front so you should once again allow plenty of borrow when putting across the green.

Hole 5
Hole Name PIMPLE
From The Tee A good drive will put you in reach of the green with a mid iron. There is a pond running across the fairway at around 250 yards from the tee, which could cause trouble for the longer hitter.
From The Fairway The green which is guarded by a large bunker on the left and grass mounds on both sides you should be aware of the slopes which are from left to right.
On The Green There is a second tee that is sometimes used to the left of the 4th green please ensure that the 5th fairway is clear before playing your shot.

Hole 6
Hole Name BADGERS
From The Tee Badgers is another very daunting par three hole with the tee in an elevated position. There is a deep valley in front of the green with a stream running at the bottom of it.
From The Fairway Club selection is important and any mis-hit shot is collected in the valley. Beware!!! The green slopes from the back to the front. Any shot that is too long will finish up in the rough or up on the steep bank behind the green.
On The Green The green is protected by a bunker which runs along the front of the green and a grass bunker to the left.

Hole 7
Hole Name JETTY
From The Tee After your walk from the 6th green you come to the newest part of the course. Laid out in the late 1970s. From here you have picturesque views of the superb Milford Haven waterway.
From The Fairway The Jetty hole is a par 5 with a slight dog leg to the right. The tee shot has to be played blind, a marker post is situated at the top of the rise in the middle of the fairway and is the best line to take, made even harder with OOB all down the left side.
On The Green A good drive should take you on to the fairway in the region of the first young fir tree. A fairway wood from here should get you within a mid-iron range of the green. Be careful not to go too far left as the fairway slopes to the left which makes the ball run further from the green.

Hole 8
Hole Name BLIND ALLEY
From The Tee Blind Alley is a par 4 hole most of which is uphill with the first part being a severe slope at the top of which there is a small copse on the left and another one on the right with an opening in between.
From The Fairway Overhead electricity wires pass over the course at this point. Any ball hitting these wires must be replayed without penalty.
On The Green The drive off the tee should be made through the gap between both of the copses. Going into the copse either side could leave the golfer with a chip out sideways.

Hole 9
Hole Name THE GULLY
From The Tee The gully is a short par 4 and slopes down to the green. The drive off the tee is relatively simple with the best line in to the green being slightly to the right of the telegraph pole.
From The Fairway Overhead electricity wires pass over the course at this point. Any ball hitting these wires must be replayed without penalty. The second shot in will be a short iron to the green, although some of the longer hitters can hit the green with their drive.
On The Green The green is guarded by one large, deep bunker and one pot bunker, both of them are on the left. There is a steep slope down into the front of the green with steep slopes off to the back and to the right of the green. The green is 2 tier with the lower level at the back of the green.

Hole 10
Hole Name DOC'S
From The Tee When the golfer stands on the tee, to the left they will see the wide sweep of Gellyswick Bay with its Napoleonic fort on the hill and the Yacht Club near the beach. Where during the summer a number of yacht races are held.

On The Green The green is fairly large and flat with a steep slope down off the back of the green and to the left of the green where most shots to this area ends up in the bunker.

Hole 11
Hole Name WESTWARD HO
From The Tee Westward Ho, as its name suggests plays from East to West. With the prevailing winds being South Westerly and with this being the most exposed part of the course it is sometimes more difficult than most.
From The Fairway This is more than compensated for by the spectacular views from this fairway. Seabirds abound and shipping is always on the move. The Irish ferry passes by on its way to and from Pembroke Dock to Rosslare twice a day.
On The Green A good drive should take the golfer well past the 150 yard marker (unless the prevailing wind is blowing) leaving a mid iron shot to the green.

Hole 12
Hole Name BOUNDARY
From The Tee When standing on The Boundary tee you are at the furthermost point from the club house on the course. The views from this point are without doubt spectacular.
From The Fairway It is possible to see from St. Anne’s head and Thorne Island which are at opposite ends to the entrance to the harbour Past Stack Rock and other relics from the Napoleonic wars to Pembroke Dock, a distance of about 8 miles.
On The Green In between you will see jetties with huge oil tankers loading and unloading and the Irish Ferry can be seen heading for Rosslare in Ireland.

Hole 13
Hole Name FORT
From The Tee Standing on the tee the golfer is looking directly East down the fairway towards Gellyswick bay with the Napoleonic Fort on the hill, the Port Authority building is to the right of the fort.
From The Fairway The Fort Hole is a very slight dog leg to the left and is a Par 4. It has a wide fairway which is guarded on both sides by conifer trees.
On The Green The Green is flat and has a bunker to the front right of the green, it slopes down on both sides and at the back which will make a par more difficult.

Hole 14
Hole Name ORCHARD
From The Tee The Orchard is a very interesting par 4 which has a sharp (90 Degree) dog leg to the right. It is best to make the drive off the tee and get the ball into the centre of the fairway by the gap where the dog leg turns.
From The Fairway Some longer hitters are tempted to cut the corner and drive over the farmyard. This is a very long carry and has to clear the trees, buildings and a wall and is not for the faint hearted or short hitter.
On The Green Overhead electricity wires pass over the course at this point. Any ball hitting these wires must be replayed without penalty.

Hole Name SHEEPTRACK
From The Tee
From The Fairway The tee shot is quite tight with trees on both the left and right hand sides and fairway mounding on the left.
On The Green The green is slightly elevated with a severe slope over the back. The green slopes from back to front and is mostly flat and is guarded by a bunker on the front right hand side.

Hole 16
Hole Name THE GALES
From The Tee The Gales is a daunting Par 3 but don’t be put off by this although it is not for the faint hearted.
From The Fairway Standing on the tee the golfer is faced with driving over a steep, wooded valley with two large, deep bunkers guarding the front of the green.
On The Green This green has a steep slope from the back of the green to the front so you should once again allow plenty of borrow when putting across the green.
Hole 17
Hole Name CHURCH TOWER
From The Tee The Church Tower is the penultimate hole and is a great opportunity to get a birdie to win the match. Off the tee the golfer needs to make a good drive and keep the ball to the left hand side of the fairway because the fairway slopes from left to right.
From The Fairway Two fairway bunkers situated at about 235 yards from the white tee makes the drive a little more interesting for the longer hitters. For the second shot the average golfer will take a fairway wood which should take the ball just short of the fairway bunkers. These bunkers are 50 yards from the green.
On The Green A wedge from there to the green and sink the put will get you a much needed birdie. The three bunkers that guard the green and the grass mounds all round the green may deny the golfer the birdie so a par may be more realistic.

Hole 18
Hole Name FOUNTAIN VIEW
From The Tee The Fountain View hole is a difficult par 4. Any ball over the hedge on the right hand side of the fairway is out of bounds. This makes the average golfer aim to the left.
From The Fairway There are trees in this area which can thwart any prospect of reaching the green in two shots. Hitting the fairway is a must on this hole to make par. The new pond makes this finishing hole a little more interesting and a lot more challenging.
On The Green On reaching the green the golfer will find that there are two bunkers on the left hand side of the green with grass mounds to the left, right and back of the green. The entrance to the green is narrow making the running shot to the green more difficult.
