Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A difficult starting hole, played uphill to a generous fairway.
From The Fairway The hole slopes left to right. Take plenty of club on your approach, as short and right makes for a difficult up and down.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A straightforward hole that plays harder than it looks.
From The Fairway Favour the right half of the fairway as the land slopes right to left.
On The Green Be bold with the approach as the green slopes from back to front: the ball can run back in dry weather.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee An intimidating tee shot played over gorse. The fairway slopes right to left - too much draw can drag the ball into the gorse that runs all the way up the left.
From The Fairway A good tee shot should be rewarded with a relatively straight forward short approach to the green that slopes from the back.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee Carter's folly! The tee shot demands a long carry across the valley.
From The Fairway Take plenty of club: the bunkers short of the green have wrecked many cards! If using a golf buggy, please use the path marked to the left as the slope down from tee to green is dangerous.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The tee shot gives you a choice: long hitters can drive over the cross bunkers, but shorter hitters should play to the right of them.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee A downhill par three that can play much shorter than the yardage.
From The Fairway Well guarded green that slopes from the right and the back.
On The Green A difficult green, so a three here is an excellent score. The ideal tee shot is between the flag and the right of the green.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A slight dogleg to the right. The line of the tee shot is slightly right of the marker unless you are skilful enough to place your tee shot to the left half of the fairway, setting up an easier approach.
On The Green A big, relatively flat green, sloping gently from back to front.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Consistently one of the most difficult holes on the course.
From The Fairway The tee shot is intimidating, with gorse left and right and the prevailing wind blowing across the dogleg.
On The Green The green is large and club selection can vary by up to four clubs depending on the pin position.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee An easier hole, a short par five, generally played downwind. Make sure you miss the cross bunkers and the approach can set up a two-putt birdie.
From The Fairway Catch the bunkers or the gorse and you're looking at a bogey, double or more!
On The Green The green slopes gently from the back and is bigger than it looks. All the trouble is at the front.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee A short par three, well guarded all round. Stroke index 18 on the men's card.
From The Fairway The bunkers around the green are deep, the deepest front right. Avoid this at all costs!
On The Green

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee First of three of the last four holes generally played into the prevailing wind. A short, downhill par 4 that could yield a birdie chance.
From The Fairway Fairway is wider than it looks from the tee, but there is gorse left and right. A good tee shot should set up a short approach to a well-guarded smaller green.
On The Green A bank at the back makes for a difficult up and down if you overshoot the green.

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee A difficult par 4 played uphill into the prevailing wind.
From The Fairway The fairway slopes from left to right, so favour the left half of the fairway.
On The Green Keep the approach to the left of the flag as missing right gives a very difficult up and down from the bunker or the deep hollow.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee A strong par four, particularly from the back tee. Favour the right side of the fairway as the slope from right to left is quite severe.
From The Fairway The fairway stops at around the 150 yard mark. Driving further than this could give you a difficult stance or lie (or both).
On The Green The apron of the green is sloped right to left, designed to kick shots to the left greenside bunker. Play toward the right half of the green.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee The signature hole, played downhill to the split level fairway.
From The Fairway Trouble left and right, so hit straight! The green is one of the largest on the course but is well guarded.
On The Green A relatively flat green in front of the clubhouse.
