Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Be disciplined with your aim and club selection on the opening hole. First impressions from the tee will make you feel as if you can cut off some of the corner on this left to right dog-leg. Don't go there!! Keep the ball left of centre all the way down the opening hole. Club selection from the tee is the key, with the aim to leave an approach shot of about 120 yards to this two tier green.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee Be mindful of the wind when selecting your club from the tee. This is a similar tale to the 1st, with the left side needing to be favoured. The dog-leg cuts back very sharply and cutting the corner will result in problems. Avoid this temptation.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Don't bite off more than you can chew with this tee shot. Your selected line from the tee is the key factor here. The further left you aim the shorter the hole will play, but you will be bringing the ditches more into play.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Any tee-shot finishing on the putting surface will be welcomed. Accuracy is the key to this well guarded Par 3. Anything short of the right bunker will leave a simple chip shot to most pin positions.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee A good tee-shot will leave most of the trouble on this hole behind you. A driver is required at this strong Par 4. There are some small mounds on the left of the fairway that, if found, will cost you some yardage so need to be avoided.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Any ball finishing past a front right pin placement is out of position. Hit as much club as you want from the tee. Beware of the cross ditches with your approach. The gap is narrow and you should lay up if it cannot be easily negotiated. Try to leave the ball short of the hole as any putt from past the pin will require all of your expertise not to take more than 2 more.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Be disciplined with your tee shot and the left of centre result will give you a perfect line to find the target. If you can avoid finishing in a ditch on this hole you've done well. This tee-shot is a similar scenario to the 3rd.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Keep well left from the tee. Favour the left side with your tee-shot as trouble awaits down the right. Be careful with your club selection to the green as any ball finishing long will result in an extremely difficult pitch back, particularly if the pin is on the upper level.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee See every flag as being dead centre and aim for that part of the green. The middle of the green should be your goal as some difficult pin placements can be encountered on 9. Accuracy is the key to this well bunkered target. If the pin is back right don't get drawn to it.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee Play the hole as a genuine Par 5 to avoid getting sand in your shoes!! If you can avoid the bunkers on 10 you will have done well. Keep well left of the two traps that dominate the tee-shot. The second set of two bunkers are also a major consideration and should be played short if they cannot be easily carried. Any ball finding any of the aforementioned bunkers will make it tough to find the green

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Club up and commit. From the blue tees it is 230 yards to the back of this green so club up! As this hole normally plays into the prevailing wind few balls will finish through this green. A strong Par 3 where 4 is never a disaster.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Decide what you want to do with your shot to negotiate the cross ditch. If you cannot comfortably fly it, lay up. A generous target awaits a good tee-shot over the marker post. The cross ditch is wide and should be a major consideration.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee If the pin is on the front of the green, keep the ball short of it. A good tee-shot will get the ball down to the lower level and make the approach easier. If the green is just about reachable with your 2nd, aim towards the bunker to prevent the diagonal ridge throwing the ball to the right.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee This is a risk and reward tee-shot if there ever was one. Roll the dice and take your chance. Cutting the corner will considerably reduce the yardage but may also considerably reduce the amount of balls in your bag!! Choose your line carefully.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Select a club from the tee to leave a 100 yard approach. This is a short but demanding Par 4 that will yield more bogeys than birdies. Club selection from the tee with the aim to leave a full pitch to the slightly raised target.

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Enjoy the Vista! Take note of the pin position on this wonderful par 3 as there are probably 5 clubs difference between a front pin and a back pin. Don't get drawn to a back left flag as it is demanding and some difficulties may arise. Due to the elevated tee the hole will play 15 yards shorter than the yardage suggests.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Avoid having to take a penalty stroke from the cross ditch. The marker post is an ideal line from the tee. There is a ditch on the right, not visible from the tee, that needs to be avoided. The ditch that runs diagonally in front of the green is a major factor on this hole.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee If you can carry the two traps, do so. If you can't, the front edge is never bad. The closing par 3 is a great hole to play if you are 2 shots behind as this hole oftens yields a 2 shot swing. The narrow entrance to the green will throw many shots into the two traps.
