Hole 1 – Doon The Dip – Par 4 – SI 8

The tee shot is fairly generous and usually requires a driver or 3-woodto find the bottom of the dip.

A blind second shot to a green guarded with two front bunkers.

Hole 2 – Over the Top – Par 4 – SI3

Another generous sized fairway usually played into the prevailing wind. A bunker awaits at about 210 yards from the tee. A good drive will normally mean a long to medium iron into the green.

Hole 3 – The Ostrich – Par 4 – SI 17

A short hole with a slight dogleg to the left. The sensible option off the tee is a fairway wood or long iron, which will help avoid the fairway bunkers and leave a short iron to the green. For the longer hitters, there is a gamble to take on the green aiming the drive over the left hand bunker.

Hole 4 – Little Curl – Par 3 – SI 15

The first par 3 is well guarded by bunkers and usually requires a well struck mid iron to reach the green. Any shot finding the heart of the green will usually mean a fairly comfortable two putt.

Hole 5 – The Ditch – Par 4 – SI 14

A relatively straight forward par 4, where a good drive will leave a short pitch to a slightly undulating green.

Hole 6 – Hookers Horror – Par 5 – SI 5

This slight right to left par 5 usually plays downwind and can often be reached in two for the longer hitters. With a narrow green, an accurate shot in is required to avoid the bunkers left and right.

Hole 7 – West Wind – Par 3 – SI 16

Despite it’s yardage of only 159 yards, this hole usually requires a long accurate blow to reach a green that is flanked by rough on both sides.

Hole 8 – The Long Haul – Par 4 – SI 1

This long par 4 often plays into the prevailing wind and a bunker waits up the right side of the fairway to catch an errant drive. A good second shot with a long iron or fairway wood will be needed in order to reach a long two tier green.

Hole 9 – Hedgerow – Par 5 – SI 4

A long uphill par 5 with out of bounds all of the way up the right hand side. Fairway bunkers up the left hand side await the drive and second shot.

Hole 10 – Racetrack – Par 5 – SI 10

Another long par 5 that is often played downwind. The ideal drive will be down the ‘racetrack’ on the right hand side, where maximum distance will be gained. Two bunkers left and right guard the narrow green.

Hole 11 – The Riggs – Par 4 – SI 13

This short but tricky hole has a fairway bunker up the left hand side for the shorter hitters while a longer drive up the right, will be risking a bunker at around 300 yards.

An decent drive will leave a short shot into a green surrounded by small mounds.

Hole 12 – Centenary Corner – Par 4 – SI 7

A severe right to left dogleg par 4, where a drive with a fairway wood, aimed slightly left of the marker post, will leave an ideal shot into the green. Accuracy with the second shot is important as two pot bunkers are placed either side of the green.

Hole 13 – Hill View – Par 5 – SI 12

A short par 5 with out of bounds all of the way up the left hand side and deep rough to the right. Fairway is very undulating with a strong links feel about it. Two good shots will see a short iron in to the green.

Hole 14 – The Chip In – Par 3 – SI 6

The green on this long par 3 is a difficult target to reach as it usually plays into a prevailing wind. There is a small water hazard just short of the green which must be avoided.

Hole 15 – The Basin – Par 3 – SI 18

A challenging short hole to a small green that is well protected by bunkers at the front and to the right. Any shot missing the green will present a difficult up and down.

Hole 16 – Dynamite – Par 4 – SI 9

A tight driving hole with deep rough on both sides and with fairway bunkers at around 250 yards down the left hand side. A good drive will still leave an awkward pitch to a two tier green.

Hole 17 – Nuns Moor – Par 4 – SI 11

The ideal drive will be placed down the left hand side of the fairway in order to give the best line into the green and avoid the deep rough on the right. A links style fairway and an undulating green where two putting can be tricky.

Hole 18 – Homeward Bound – Par 4 – SI 2

A strong par 4 to finish with two good blows required to reach the green. Caution must be taken as out of bounds runs the length of the hole up the left and this hole has ruined many a good scorecard.
