Downshire Golf Complex Hole 1
HOLE ONE

A straight forward par 4 with a blind bunker on your approach to the right of the green. Behind the green is sloped so anything hit long will run off into the trees.

PRO TIP
a shot down the right will give you an easier approach but mind the bunker!

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 2
HOLE TWO

A dogleg right par 5. Aggressive players can be rewarded going for it in 2 but playing out of position or a wayward approach left could mean a reload. Shooting to the bend and going into the green from there is the safer option.

PAR YARDS STROKE
5 521 14
5 500 14
5 479 9
PRO TIP
Getting on in 2 here needs a good tee shot, ideally left of middle. Go too far right and you'll be blocked out.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 3
HOLE THREE

A short par 3 with danger for wayward shots. Pot bunkers left, a tree and water to the right and dense rough behind the green.

PAR YARDS STROKE
3 127 18
3 113 18
3 100 17
PRO TIP
With pot bunkers left and the tree on the right often a shot to the middle of the green is rewarded.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 4
HOLE FOUR

A challenging par 4 that's frought with danger. Fairway bunker, a ditch running across the fairway, well placed greens bunkers, a tree line that surrounds the green with runoff areas and then a difficult green that slopes right to left… enjoy

PAR YARDS STROKE
4 428 2
4 358 2

PRO TIP
Left hand side of the fairway will reduce distance and improve approach to this tricky 4th green that slopes right to left.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 5
HOLE FIVE

A par 4 that doglegs right. With extreme rough up the right hand side and a substantial tree line. A ditch line crosses the fairway on the dog leg and the front bunker gives the green a false front perception to the green. The green slopes towards the fairway and rewards good shots in, but flying through the green could result in a lost ball with long grass behind it.

PAR YARDS STROKE
4 357 6
4 338 6
5 307 5
PRO TIP
Minimal reward and extreme risk trying to cut the corner on this par 4… a shot to the top of the fairway leaves less than 150 yrds in..

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 6
HOLE SIX

A lovely par 4 that plays to a large, slightly elevated green protected by 2 deep bunkers left and right. A shot played in short of the green will normally stay short due to the sloped approach.

PAR YARDS STROKE
4 396 4
4 381 4
4 355 1
PRO TIP
A tee shot left of centre is required here. Too far right and you be blocked. Big hitters beware, a large stream runs across this hole, not visible from the tee.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 7
HOLE SEVEN

Our signature hole 7th is easy on the eye but a wayward shot is punished. Short and you'll be in the pond or bunker gaurding the right of the green, left will put you in the other well placed bunker. The green slopes from back to front so is quite receptive to a well struck ball.

PAR YARDS STROKE
3 166 8
3 133 8
3 118 13
PRO TIP
This great par 3 rewards a good shot into the green, ignore the big pond, bridge and bunkers… easy

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 8
HOLE EIGHT

A gently sloping fairway from left to right with a deep pot bunker just short of the green left. With the wooded copse on the left and the large oak right, position is everything here. You don't need to be particuarly long off this tee to leave a mid-iron in. This is a risk and reward shot, a great shot for the bigger hitters may see you get on the green or leave you a flick... play it wrong and a double bogey could be looming.

PAR YARDS STROKE
4 347 16
4 317 16
4 297 7
PRO TIP
A short par 4 that often plays harder than the stroke index. The longer you are the narrower it gets.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 9
HOLE NINE

Played off an eleveated tee, what you see is what you get. 2 large fairways bunkers left and right will catch an off target drive and as they're raised fronts will hinder any following shots if close to the face. A ditch runs across the fairway approximately 160 yrds from the 2 tiered green protected by 2 bunkers. Longer hitters will be hoping to reach in 2.

PRO TIP
Time to open your shoulders! Play it as you see it.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 10
HOLE TEN

A challenging, great looking par 5 not often gone for in 2. With a tree lined lake running down the right of this hole and the ditch short of the green, this par 5 is well protected.

PAR YARDS STROKE
5 535 9
5 507 9
5 420 4
PRO TIP
Another par 5, but be careful. A big hit will bring the lake into play and the blind stream short of the green can catch those who go for it.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 11
HOLE ELEVEN

This slight dogleg left hole use to be a par 5 but was changed to a par 4 to toughen up the course many years ago. Although there are no fairway bunkers, the green is narrow with a run off on the left. this hole statistically plays as the hardest hole on the course.

PAR YARDS STROKE
4 462 3
4 398 3
5 437 8
PRO TIP
A well struck tee shot down the left reduces the yardage considerably, but left short could block your next shot.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 12
HOLE TWELVE

One of the oldest trees in Berkshire at over 900 years old sits on the apex of this dog leg. A long narrow green is protected by 3 bunkers and water behind the green. This is a rewaring hole for longer hitters who can take on the corner or shape a shot from left to right.

PAR YARDS STROKE
4 328 7
4 320 7
4 302 14
PRO TIP
A shot to the left of the 3 fairway trees leaves a short to mid iron in. Taking on the corner is definitely an option here and rewards a well struck high tee shot.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 13
HOLE THIRTEEN

A strong dogleg left to right par 4 with O.O.B. protecting the Greenkeepers buildings. You may be tempted to cut the corner but get too greedy and the risk way outways the reward… you've been warned.

PAR YARDS STROKE
4 318 13
4 306 13
4 279 12
PRO TIP
Know your distances… a shot to the apex of the fairway on this short par 4 is the sensible option.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 14
HOLE FOURTEEN

A short par 3 that punishes a bad shot. A large bunker protects the front of the green with another protecting the right. With a slope to the left of the green running into a thick un-maintained wooded area a shot played here will often result in a lost ball.

PAR YARDS STROKE
3 137 17
3 124 17
3 115 18
PRO TIP
Make sure you're long enough as a bunker runs along the whole front of this green.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 15
HOLE FIFTEEN

A tricky par 4. Keeping it in play on the fairway is key on his hole. With fairway bunkers, "the Swamp" and a tree line that will penalise a long tee shot, sensible play is often rewarded. The green is protected by 2 bunkers, bushes behind and a ditch that runs from the swamp down the left hand side.

PAR YARDS STROKE
4 363 5
4 354 5
4 342 6
PRO TIP
Cutting the corner reduces your approach. But beware, if short you could be blocked playing out sideways.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 16
HOLE SIXTEEN

Often seen as the card wrecker, this hole deserves it's low stroke index. With a well placed fairway bunker, water running with and across the hole, O.O.B. right of the upper section of fairway and a run off left of the green, this hole is well protected… A well placed tee shot is key!

PAR YARDS STROKE
4 385 1
4 370 1
4 352 2
PRO TIP
There's considerable space after the fairway bunker but too far left can reduce your view of the green.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 17
HOLE SEVENTEEN

A tree lined par 3 that often can be difficult to club due to being protected from the wind on the tee. Half of the green sits in a raised bowl to the right and behind but with a run off left leading to thick rough and woodland, this isn't the place to miss.

PAR YARDS STROKE
3 157 15
3 144 15
3 127 16
PRO TIP
A miss to the right bank of this green will often see the ball come round onto the green. Missing left is fraught with danger.

Downshire Golf Complex Hole 18
HOLE EIGHTEEN

A feel good par 5 to finish with, with a ditch that runs across entirity the fairway. Not overly long and with no hidden hazards or penalty areas, This hole rewards a straight shot to a generous fairway. Bunkers protect the green left and right and as the green slopes slightly back to front it is receptive to a well struck approach shot.

PAR YARDS STROKE
5 486 11
5 458 11
5 434 10
PRO TIP
A reachable par 5 for the longer hitters. The positioning of the tee often leads to golfers going into the tree line left.
