Hole By Hole Guide
1st/10th 335/309 yds, stroke index (SI) 3/4: Out of bounds (OB) all up the left before the fairway turns slightly left onto a difficult small hump-backed green.
2nd/11th 131/131 yds SI 17/14: Your view of the green is slightly obscured by trees. Club selection has to be right and can be difficult if the wind is blowing.
3rd/12th 157/128 yds, SI 5/18: Either a mid or short iron depending whether playing it the first or second time. Can be really tough if the flag is placed behind a bunker at the front of the green.
4th/13th 307/293 yds, SI 1/6: The sensible approach is a short iron to in front of the hedge, then another onto a large, flat green. The brave might try a thrash with a wood, but OB all down the right –hand side could change your mind.
5th/14th 160/155 yds, SI 11/12. Straightforward approach with a mid to short iron, but anything right faces a watery grave in the brook or the moat alongside the green.
6th/15th 257/273 yds, SI 13/2: A severe dogleg left. Take enough club to reach the corner, or you will be playing a blind short iron or wedge to a tucked-away green.
7th/16th 136 yds, SI 15/16: If you have the right club, this short hole with a large putting surface won’t cause too much distress.
8th/17th 262/252 yds, SI9/10: An excellent hole to test your course management. Hit straight over the corner of this right-to-lefter and shorten your approach to a shot iron. Play safe and you could run out of fairway.
9th/18th 458 yds, SI 7/8: OB all up the right and a lateral water hazard and OB all up the left of this super finishing hole. The brook also meanders across the fairway, making the placement off the tee crucial.
Yardage: 1st nine 2203 yds off the blue tees.
2nd nine 2135 yds off the yellow tees.
Total 4338 yds.
