Hole 1

From The Tee There is a decision to be made with your first shot of the day. Do you try to thread the gap between the bunkers and ditch with your driver, making the green reachable in two, or play safe with a hybrid or long iron to the wider part of the fairway? If electing the safe route, your second shot needs to avoid two bunkers around 50 yards from the front of the green and your approach shot will need t

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Another challenging tee shot that will require all but the very longest of hitters to negotiate their way around four fairway bunkers that, once in, make reaching the green in two shots almost impossible. Once on the fairway, the approach shot plays nearly a full club uphill to a green whose front half slopes severely from back to front, so it’s advisable to leave your approach short of the hole t

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway One of the most challenging holes on the course requires another decision from the tee. Take on the fairway bunkers to the left and the ditch to the right with your driver and set up a shorter approach, or play a shorter tee shot to the wider part of the fairway and hit a longer club to the green? One of the largest greens on the course awaits your approach shot so selecting the correct club to ge

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee Our first short hole requires a well struck and very accurate hybrid or long iron as the opening to the green is very narrow and protected by bunkers that make escaping with a par 3 very difficult. The green slopes from left to right and runs away towards the back right section of the putting surface so take care if chipping or putting to a back pin position.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee A mid length Par 4 that once again presents options from the tee. You can lay back with a long iron or hybrid and leave a shot of around 160 yards to the green, hit a fairway wood towards but short of the left-hand fairway bunker followed by an approach of around 130 yards or a tee shot carrying the right-hand bunker that will leave an approach from 100 yards. No matter which option you choose, ou

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Our second par 5 offers a good chance of a birdie for many players. A drive between the oaks to either side of the fairway offers the opportunity to try and thread your approach between the bunkers and onto the green in two or lay up and leave a short pitch to a green with a subtle valley running through it. To set up a good birdie chance, your approach will need to finish on the correct section o

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A wide fairway that narrows at around 240 yards, so the longer hitter needs to choose their line wisely to either carry the fairway bunker or pass it safely to the left. The approach shot needs to squeeze between the bunkers at the front left and right corners of the green and ideally should finish short and right of the hole location as this leaves an uphill putt. If you are putting from beyond t

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Our second short hole presents the challenge of a swirling breeze through the avenue of trees that the tee shot is struck making it tricky to find the putting surface. Once on the green, a series of subtle slopes make holing your birdie putt tricky but there is a good chance to record a par for most players here.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The front nine comes to a close with a mid-length Par 4 that offers a generous fairway for the shorter hitter but narrows for the mid to long hitters so the decision to thread between the bunker and mound or play short needs to be made. The green is well guarded by deep bunkers at the front as well as a false front so any shot not carrying to the front of the green runs the risk of rolling back do

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A semi-blind tee shot played over a gentle rise makes selecting your line from the tee tricky, especially when playing from the left tee box which brings the fairway bunker into play. A tee shot of around 200 yards will leave you an approach from 130 yards or so and this will need to be accurate to avoid the bunkers if the pin is on the front portion of the green and carry far enough to a pin in t

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee A right to left dogleg that will tempt the longer hitter to cut the corner and leave a short approach to a well-protected green. The shorter hitter will need to aim between the fairway bunkers and avoid blocking themselves out behind the trees on the corner of the dogleg. Whichever approach you take, this green is well defended and a hole location at the front is hard to get close to as the green

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee The third of our four Par 3s requires a mid to long iron shot to a large and generally flat green. The branches on the lone tree situated between the tee and green need to be avoided, particularly when the pin is on the right-hand side of the green. A well struck shot from the tee sets up a good chance for a par.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The final and longest Par 5 offers only the longest hitter the chance of getting home in two shots so, unless you can carry the fairway bunker at some 260 yards from the back tee, the prudent play could be to play short of the fairway bunkers before laying up to leave a short approach to the green. The green slopes from left to right so avoid short siding yourself to the left if the pin is cut to

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The ditch crossing the fairway comes into play for the short to mid hitter so care needs to be taken to avoid this. Other than the single fairway bunker to the left, the drive is fairly straightforward for the longer hitter. The green has a small section at the back that requires a very accurate approach shot when the hole is located here and some subtle undulations at the front make holing putts

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A partially blind tee shot where the left side of the fairway is hidden from view. The longer hitter has the choice between challenging the ditch that crosses the fairway at around 240 yards or laying back with a long iron or hybrid to set up one of the best-looking approach shots on the course. The green is very narrow at the front and well protected by deep bunkers but opens up towards the back

Hole 16

From The Tee The challenge of our final Par 3 lies in finding the correct section of the green. The lower front section is fairly flat and offers the easiest access, the high back right area is the smallest of the sections and requires a pinpoint accurate tee shot to leave a makeable birdie putt whilst the back left section offers the greatest drama and risk reward in trying to feed your ball around the slopes

From The Tee Without doubt the stiffest challenge Royal Blackheath has to offer. Sometimes you just have to step up and hit a good shot and the tee shot here is no exception. Bunkers and rough to the left and a ditch and copse of trees to the right mean nothing but a straight drive will be rewarded. The challenge doesn’t relent on the second shot which is played with only the top of the pin in view and needs t

Hole Name

From The Tee The ultimate risk and reward hole to make or break your scorecard. With the clubhouse and some post round refreshment looming large behind the green you are faced with the choice: lay up short with a mid iron to leave an uphill wedge shot where hitting the house seems as likely as hitting the green or go for it with the driver. A carry of around 235 yards is required to clear the hedge and can set
