Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A 5 will win the opening hole more times than not. Keep this in mind. The length of the opening hole demands a driver. Left of centre is ideal from the tee, as most of the trouble is on the right. There is a cross ditch, approximately 60 yards short of the green which is open outwards from the edge of the fairway on both sides. If this cannot be easily negotiated with the second, lay up to leave a

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Play this as a genuine par 5 leaving a full third shot. Decide on the tee what your game plan will be, whether to challenge the bunkers and ditch or lay up. Be careful of the ditch running up the right hand side of the hole with your second shot as this will catch many errant shots. Leaving a full shot to this slightly raised green will pay dividends.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Take care when faced with a front left putt to a back left pin position. Try to find the right half of the fairway from the tee. Most of the trouble from the tee is to the left and needs to be avoided.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Any shot played from 5 yards to 50 yards of the green should be played with a straighter faced club (i.e 6, 7, 8) rather than a wedge approach. A solid tee shot is needed for this stroke 1 hole. The left side of the fairway will allow a perfect view of the green for the 2nd shot.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Select a club from the tee that you can't go long with. One of the most difficult shots at Saunton is from through the back of this green and this needs to be avoided at all costs. A ball finishing just short of the front edge will beat a ball finishing through the green every time. Let this govern your club selection.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The marker post is as far right as you should ever be. The ditch that runs down the right side of this hole needs to be avoided. Left of centre is a strong line off the tee and will leave a comfortable approach. A full shot should be left to find a front pin position. A good tee shot will leave an opportunity to make a birdie.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee The rushes on the right need to be avoided. If the bunkers on the left cannot be reached they are a perfect line from the tee. Be careful to avoid the bunker 95 yards from the green as it will catch many second shots. Avoid going long as a tricky pitch will be left.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee When playing the 5th, check where the pin location on 8 is situated. This blind tee shot seems daunting but a generous landing area awaits. Try to avoid missing the green on the right as a demanding blind shot will follow. Knowing where the flag is will assist your approach shot to find the right level.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Keep to the right side of this hole from tee to green. The bunker on the right is a perfect line from the tee and will leave the best angle to find even the most difficult of pin positions. The left side of this hole needs to be avoided from start to finish and little will be gained by trying to cut the corner. Some interesting putts await on this natural putting surface.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Avoid the two bunkers and avoid going long. A full shot needs to be left to this raised target. This will give you extra control to keep the ball on the upper level. Anything long will result in a tortuous pitch back and must be avoided. If you cannot comfortably carry the two bunkers by the green, lay up. They will ruin many a card.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Keep well left from the tee. Select a club from the tee so that the corner of the field cannot be reached. You can choose a line much further left from the tee then you realise. The left side if the fairway will leave an ideal line to negotiate the remainder of the hole. The bunker by the green is 21 yards short of the front edge and needs to be avoided

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Be aggressive from the tee as the landing area is generous. Left of centre is good from the tee as the fairway will swing the ball slightly right. The rushes 90 yards short are very much in play, so lay up if they cannot be comfortably cleared.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee Find the centre of the green. Don't go chasing tough pins. Missing the green will leave many demanding pitches on this wonderful par 3. Long right will leave you struggling to make bogey, as will the front left bunker.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee From 40-60 yards short a low chip and run will generally have more success than a pitch due to the shape of the green. A drive from the tee that avoids the strategically right-sided bunkers is required for this magnificent Par 4.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee When just short of the green take your medicine and get the ball well beyond the front of the upper level. A driver is required for this par 5. The rough cuts in on the right more than it seems from the tee and should be a consideration. If the green cannot be reached, leave a full shot in to this raised target.

Hole Name
From The Tee Keep right of centre from the tee with your approach to the green being aimed left of centre. Keep well right from the tee as trouble is lurking down the left. Although the right side of the hole will make this magnificent par 4 play slightly longer it is trouble free.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Your tee shot on 17 is like having a free roll of the dice. Commit to the shot. This is a long but fair par 3. With a bogey never being too disastrous on this hole, be aggressive with your club selection from the tee. As this hole normally plays into the prevailing wind hit more club than your first impression suggests. Be positive.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee Aim just inside the bunker line from the tee and trust your swing. The closing hole requires accuracy from tee to green. The bunkers on the left and "Isaac's" on the right are waiting to punish an errant tee shot. The slopes on the right encroach more towards the fairway than it seems from the tee. The green is well guarded by 5 bunkers with the 2 on the left being particularly penal. These need t
