PAR 3, YARDS 396, STROKE INDEX 9
A straight, downhill par 4 to start with, a statically placed bunker in the centre of the fairway at 240 yards down the fairway can hamper most golfers if they go with the driver. The green is tucked up and is protected by trees, a boundary hedge behind and sizeable bunker on the right of the green. There isn’t much room to go long, if you miss left, the slope will bring this back towards the green.

An uphill short par 4 sounds appealing, keep to the right as the dense treeline down the left is dangerous for the scorecard. The green is close to the left boundary and two high edge bunkers sit on the right. The green is thin but long, so accuracy is key.

Get it on the green with a big target to aim for. If using an iron off the tee, be sure to avoid the lone bunker on the left of the fairway. The left to right fairway narrows as you play down towards the green. There is little room for error around the green as missing right or long will leave you with a very difficult slope out the trees.

Finishing off the front nine and playing back towards the club house, this uphill par 4 can be a tricky one. The wide fairway is inviting to use the driver, a hedge runs along the edge of the cart path that cuts across the fairway and can make a difficult approach shot if you are tucked up behind it. The green offers so assist with a raised mound surrounding to catch any loose shots.

This slight uphill par 4 is a good hole to start the back 9. Off the tee the big tree on the left of the fairway marks the line of the green. Keep to the middle of the fairway to avoid being hampered by the tree for your approach shot. Beyond that, the fairway opens out and there are limited hazards to contend with. Avoid the three bunkers around the green as these are difficult to recover from.

A difficult dog leg par 4. Your tee shot is playing into a smaller landing zone as the fairway sweeps round. If you opt for the driver, an unsighted bunker in the middle of the fairway is within range. The green is tucked against a boundary hedge with a sloped back to the green.

This short, elevated par 3 to an unsighted green shouldn’t be too difficult. There is a lot of green to work with if you go long, just make sure you get it up there. The two bunkers at the front left and right shouldn’t pose too much of an issue.

Another dog leg right, par 4 hole. A good uphill tee shot to a blind but wide landing zone can leave you in a great position for your approach to the green. Playing down the right side using the tree line as a guide is the shortest route but can put you in risk of the bunker. Off the tee, use the middle of the block of trees as your aim point for the safest shot and gives you a straight shot to the green.

The hardest hole on the course. A long straight par 4 requires accuracy with the thin treelined fairway. Teeing from an open area the fairway feels even narrower as you play into the opening towards the green. Going off the fairway can cost you. The small green is a tricky target protected by a bunker, hedge and trees.

From the tee, the fairway opens more the longer you go. A ditch splits the fairways down towards the green, but this won’t be in play off the tee. The fairway does roll right to left and has a bit more forgiveness than some. Playing 220-250 will allow for an easier approach to the green which has a greenside bunker on the back right corner.

A downhill par 3, if you come up short you will benefit from the downhill slope as it will kick on. If you are playing from the whites, it’s a long par 3 and opens the margin of error. The small green is a small target, and not one to overshoot as you will either be in the bunker or down the bank in the rough.

The final hole is an uphill dog leg right par 4. From the tee you can play either, two mid to long irons to reach the green, there is a cart path around 150y yards if you opt of the iron. If you prefer shortening the hole, you can take the tricker drive on. Aim up the right side over the hedge to the heart of the fairway to widen the green for your approach. The green is on a second tier next to the winter green. Keep to the left or middle to avoid missing the green and a tricky chip on.
