Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name Course
From The Tee With a tee shot flanked by out of bounds on one side and the Clubhouse on the other, this is an extremely challenging hole which requires both accuracy and courage. A sharp dog leg to the right demands a well positioned drive as near to the corner of the practice ground as confidence will allow.
From The Fairway Avoiding the first three bunfers will likely leave a mid-iron to the green.

From The Tee Played to the only green which remains from the original course layout, the Road hole at first glance takes on a high benign appearance but three newly situated bunkers at drive length will swallow any wayward tee shots.

Hole Name Royal
From The Tee Threading a drive between the gorse to the left and the strategically positioned bunkers on the right, most players should look to play their second shots to the right side of the fairway
From The Fairway This will provide the best angle of approach to a two tier green.
On The Green e careful to check the pin position. Should you end up in the wrong part of the green, two putts will be a challenge.

Hole 4
Hole Name New
From The Tee Normally played into a crosswind, the 'New' is the first of Hoylake's par 3's and is surrounded by deep bunkers. A tip for newcomers to Hoylake is to take one more club from the tee and aim to the right hand side of the green. The extra club will hel

Hole Name Telegraph
From The Tee Telegraph' is a very difficult driving hole with a bunkers left and right. The right side is further protected by extensive gorse to which the westerly wind pushes your ball. Nevertheless, the best line from the tee requires a drive close to the righ

Hole 6
Hole Name Briars
From The Tee The first occasion you play at Hoylake you could be forgiven for wondering where to drive, as you are faced with an out of bounds hedge in front of you, but more perturbing is the fact it is some 190 yards away.
From The Fairway Play a mid-iron into the wide part of the fairway near the marker, leaving a mid-iron to the green.

Hole 7
Hole Name Dowie
From The Tee At 'Dowie', there is a lot to take in while standing on the tee. The wind is often coming from right to left and the pin position can make a big difference to your choice of shot. Bunkers front left and right protect a narrow green which will throw t

Hole 8
Hole Name Far
From The Tee The furthest part of the course away from the clubhouse, 'Far' has seen some famous players come to grief, none more so than the great Bobby Jones, who, on his way to his famous Grand Slam in 1930, took a 7 on this relatively straight forward par 5.

Hole 9
Hole Name Punch Bowl
From The Tee No matter how well or badly you are playing, one cannot help but enjoy the panoramic view which awaits on the tee at 'Punch Bowl'. The Welsh hills and Dee estuary provide a scenic backdrop to the first of four holes which run along the shore.

Hole 10
Hole Name Dee
From The Tee A dog leg to the left which invariably plays longer than its yardage, 'Dee' is a demanding par 4. It could be tempting to take off some of the dog-leg when you are faced with 3 bunkers on the right of the fairway, but the new broken ground in the rou

Hole 11
Hole Name Alps
From The Tee Don't be distracted by the beautiful scenery around Hilbre Island. Make sure you take enough club to carry the mounds which guard the front left hand side of the green.

Hole 12
Hole Name Hilbre
From The Tee Arguably the finest hole of the links, 'Hilbre' is a dog leg to the left. The big-hitters and the brave may try to carry the bunkers protecting the corner of the hole but this is a lot to ask.

Hole 13
Hole Name Field
From The Tee Played around the out of bounds line of the practise ground, the tee shot should be aimed at the dog leg. From there you can either play safely to the left or skirt the out of bounds line, which will reward you with an easier 3rd shot to a long green
From The Fairway
On The Green This is the start of Hoylake's much admired... and feared stretch of finishing holes. A long par 5 which requires a drive towards the fairway bunkers on the left side and then demands a full wood to stand a chance of reaching the green.

Hole 14
Hole Name Lake
From The Tee Into the prevailing South West winds, 'Lake' at 459 yds is certainly one of the most difficult. A long, straight drive, avoiding bunkers at driving distance is necessary to have any chance of hitting the classic MacKenzie green. A long second shot is

Hole 17
Hole Name Royal
From The Tee Setting off away from the Clubhouse, this hole is named after the Royal Hotel which housed the first Clubhouse at Hoylake in 1869.
From The Fairway If you can keep your drive close to the bunker on the left you will have the best angle of attack to this well protected, long, narrow green.
On The Green A brand new green complex was created in 2010 and is incredibly difficult to hit with a long iron in hand.

From The Fairway The second shot is played to an undulating green which has cleverly positioned bunkers which will allow flag positions to be tucked behind them.
On The Green Don't be too greedy as slopes will throw your ball off the green leaving you with a very tricky recovery shot.
