One of the longer holes on the course due to its elevation. With thick rough 150 yards from the tee, for the shorter hitters it might be worth laying up. There is a long bunker along the left side of the green which makes it a tricky approach. Once you're on the green, the elevation makes it vital not to leave your second or third shot short as a sweeping right to left putt up hill will be waiting for you.

Hole three is 350-yards long, par four and downhill. Longer hitters must miss two fairway bunkers to the left and right. The green undulates, making it a tricky putt for even for the most advanced golfers.

A short par three, but this hole does have its difficulties. A large bunker to the left can cause issues depending on the hole location. As the green is on a down slope, golfers must try and land their ball softly or risk the ball going off the back.

This long par 4 is one of the hardest holes on the course due to its length with trees along both sides of the fairway. If you miss the fairway to the right, you also run the risk of ending up in a drainage ditch. The green is surrounded by bunkers, making for a challenging approach.

Number one on the stroke index, this is the longest hole on the course. Beware of ditch that runs along the fairway around 200-220 yards from the tee.

This challenging par 3 presents various challenges, the first of which is to get your tee shot over the river Brent. There are also various bunkers placed around the green and dense foliage to the right-hand side.

This dog leg left par four is trickier than it seems, with dense rough and towering trees on the left-hand side. You must decide to navigate around or over to avoid these hazards. One of the smallest greens on the course, is also elevated, and requires you to make an accurate approach shot.

The last hole on the front nine has three fairway bunkers placed to catch out most driven tee shots. If you miss these bunkers to the right, you will be blocked off by numerous trees.

We start the back nine with a tight tee shot with trees on the left, the fairway itself is situated on a sloping hill meaning golfers must try and keep their tee shot up the left-hand side. For the longer drivers, there’s also a drainage ditch that runs across the fairway. Bunkers along the right-hand side of the green create their own risk and, when paired with a heavily sloped green makes this one of the harder holes on the course.

Hole 11 presents its own challenges. This dog leg par four requires golfers to navigate ditches, trees and heavy rough. You either go for it or play conservatively, there isn’t an in-between!

Another deceivingly difficult hole. It’s relatively short, however the small green is enclosed around four steep bunkers.

The longest par 3 on the course, the tee shot can be intimidating for those new to the course due to the narrow space between the tree line. When you make it to the green, you are greeted with an undulating green.

Brent Valley's signature hole: a pond with a huge oak tree and the church spiral behind sets the scene. A long drive up the left-hand side is preferable to avoid being blocked by the oak tree. Your approach shot needs to be accurate and a correct club selection is key to avoid the water. One of the larger greens on the course, but the trickiest.

An 18 on the stroke index, this short par 4 offers a chance to get a couple of shots back. The longer driver can reach the green with their first short offering a chance of an eagle! Once on the green, you should have a relatively straight forward putt as the green is situated on the flattest part of the course.

Hole 16 is a tricky par 3 with two bunkers situated before the green and another to the right of the green.

With out of bounds on the right and with two ditches running along the fairway its vital to keep your first shot down the middle. The approach shot needs to be calculated as going long leaves you a difficult chip on to the green, missing the green to the left or right means you’ll be in the sand.

The 18th is straight up the hill (just what you want after 17 holes). If you go right, you'll run the risk of going out of bonds or running in to one of the various drainage ditches located around the course. Once you’re on the green you are presented with a double shelved green meaning this is one of the more testing putts, you’ll face all day.
