course layout
FRONT 9
HOLE 1 (par 4)
|
Straight forward loosener with easy second or third shot to elevated green with plenty of borrow.
|
|
HOLE 2 (par 4)
|
Long, straight par 4 that requires careful approach shot to peninsula-type, sloping green
|
|
HOLE 3 (par 3)
|
Slightly uphill to green guarded by large bunker at front left. Accuracy required
|
|
hole 4 (par 5)
|
Dogleg to right around tree-covered hillock, then narrowing curved approach to bunkered green. Needs good tee shot. Tough off the Championship tee as a par 4.
|
|
hole 5 (par 4)
|
Needs accurate tee shot through tree-lined gap, then straight ‘up and over’ towards large sloping (and tricky) green.
|
|
hole 6 (par 3)
|
Tough hole in crosswind from elevated tee across open space to bunkered green.
|
|
hole 7 (par 5)
|
Another dogleg par 5 that needs a good tee shot to make the rest straightforward.
|
|
hole 8 (par 4)
|
Picturesque little dogleg around big tree to tricky green surrounded by trees.
|
|
hole 9 (par 4)
|
Another to test accuracy off the tee, but then an open approach to large green.
|
|
BACK 9
HOLE 10 (par 4)
|
Yet another little dogleg, but keep the tee shot straight and it’s a good birdie chance.
|
|
HOLE 11 (par 4)
Accuracy needed for second (or third) shot through gap to long, sloping green.
Hole 12 (par 5)
|
Looks longer than it is, as wide fairway narrows down to tree-lined approach to enclosed green.
|
|
HOLE 13 (par 4)
|
Probably the toughest par 4 (Men’s tees), with the angled approach to an elevated green guarded by a large tree on one side and a couple of ponds on the other.
|
|
HOLE 14 (par 3)
|
Delightful signature hole over a couple of ponds, but not as easy as it looks.
|
|
HOLE 15 (par 4)
|
Testing tee shot, then uphill approach to green. Easiest hole on men’s card.
|
|
hole 16 (par 4)
|
Driver’s delight! Straight up the middle gives option of high shot over tree or flat curl into green.
|
|
hole 17 (par 3)
|
Deceptively tricky through narrow, tree-lined gap to long, two-tier green.
|
|
hole 18 (par 4)
|
Good drive needed on dog-leg left, then easy approach to large elevated green.
