From The Tee A gentle enough looking start, but it’s into the prevailing wind, and the out of bounds on the right beckons. Well bunkered approach too, take your par start and move along.
From The Tee Starting to test you now, especially off the back tees.
From The Fairway
On The Green A dog leg to the right, but if you overdo that off the tee then it’s either the trees or the farmers field for you. A lovely green surrounded and guarded by cunning bunkers.
From The Fairway No fairway, very undulating and small green, huge bunkers, big run-off the sides and back. Not a long hole, but needs precision. Pin positions range from difficult to fiendish.
From The Tee Stroke index 1. Long, narrow, dog legs up to the left, small, sloping green with a huge bunker short right, and massive run-offs everywhere else. Take your par, and run.

From The Tee A long par 4, especially off the back pegs, but often with the wind.
From The Fairway
On The Green A big carry to a narrow landing zone off the tee, and then you need to commit to the second to get it up and onto the wide, double level and heavily contoured green.
From The Tee Relatively newly re-designed, this hole is all about position off the tee to set you up for the sharp right dog-leg. The tee shot kicks way right, and if it does then your second shot is blind.
From The Tee There’s a tee and a green, with absolute rubbish in-between, massive bunkers right and left, and huge run-off behind. Very slopey green too. Good luck.

From The Tee Tricky left to right dog-leg and a fair carry off the tee, especially from the back tees,
From The Fairway
On The Green with a massive hill and bunker guarding the right side. Second shot is into an inviting, sloping green, but it’s a very narrow approach. Stroke 2, although you wonder why, until you’ve played it.
From The Fairway Another Par 3 where they seem to have misplaced the fairway.
On The Green Bunkers front and left and right, wee stream to the right. On the plus side, it’s a big, relatively flat green. Stroke 18, allegedly, but can be anything from a rescue to an 8 iron, depending on the wind.
From The Tee Very tricky par 4, usually into the wind, and the second shot is over a double meandering burn,
From The Fairway
On The Green to an upturned green with severe run offs into heavy rough, and big mounds. Furthest point of the course, and you’ll be glad when this one is behind you.
From The Fairway Intimidating tee shot with heavy rough off the fairways, and water right in front of you, and also waiting for you if you overhit the tee shot. Second shot is a very narrow entrance, and the ball often kicks off every way, except the right way.
From The Tee Long Par 5, usually a 3-dunter, with railway lines hugging the right side, and bunkers and trees to punish you too.
From The Fairway
On The Green The new green (25 years old now) is tucked into the left at the end, with bunkers front left and all the way up the right side. Still a decent birdie opportunity though.
From The Tee The Clubhouse is in view, and it’s not that long a hole,
From The Fairway
On The Green but new bunkers down the right narrow that landing zone right down, and it’s a tricky double layer green. Heavy rough down the left side too.
From The Tee Another hole looking right down into the Clubhouse, with a large pretty flat green.
From The Fairway The wide looking fairway narrows down right where you are going to land, and that out of bounds on the right looks miles away, but for the over-exuberant fader it’s closer than you think.
