4	375	10
4	339	10

HOLE ONE | BRIDLEWAY

PAR 4, YARDS 389, STROKE INDEX 10

1 of 18

HOLE ONE | BRIDLEWAY

Fairly gentle opening par 4, apart from being the first hole and first tee shot of the round! A small copse of trees on the left awaits an errant tee shot, with a fairway bunker also on the left, to a green protected by bunkers left and right.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	389	10
4	375	10
4	339	10

PRO TIP

A tee shot as close as you dare to the bunker on the left of the fairway will leave a straightforward approach to the green but anything left of the bunker may find the copse. An approach shot that is too long will leave a challenging chip as the land slopes away at the back of the green.

HOLE 2 | CORONATION COPSE

PAR 4, YARDS 448, STROKE INDEX 4

2 of 18

HOLE 2 | CORONATION COPSE

A par 4 that's a good test for the tee shot, to a fairway that slopes left to right much more than you will expect and a copse of trees to avoid from the tee. The green has a bunker to the right which is best avoided.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	448	4
4	428	4
5	398	4

PRO TIP

The lone tree on the left of the fairway is the ideal line from the tee, although big hitters may wish to play over the copse with a draw. Avoid the out of bounds on the left of the fairway protecting the greenkeeper compound. Aim to the left side of the green for the best approach, but beware of the right hand greenside bunker for anything pushed to the right.

4	411	14
5	393	14

HOLE 3 | RUNWAY

PAR 5, YARDS 495, STROKE INDEX 14

3 of 18

HOLE 3 | RUNWAY

Another left to right par 4 (par 5 from the White Competition Tee) with a well placed bunker to the left of the fairway. Anything too far left or right risks being gobbled up by the rough and bushes. As with the second hole, a bunker awaits any approach shot too far right of the green, which is also protected by a bunker short and left of the green.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
5	495	14
4	411	14
5	393	14

PRO TIP

The fairway bunker on the left is the best line from the tee and the tee shot will likely finish on the right side of the fairway. Keep your approach to the green on the left hand side to allow for the contours, avoiding the fairway bunker short of the green and again a bunker on the right awaits a pushed approach shot.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	422	8
4	402	8
4	362	8

HOLE FOUR | THE BRAE

PAR 4, YARDS 422, STROKE INDEX 8

4 of 18

HOLE FOUR | THE BRAE

A testing downhill par 4 with accuracy from the tee a must, with a choice of fairway either on the higher or lower level. A fairway bunker is well placed to collect the tee shot on the lower level, playing to a green protected by a bunker front left.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	422	8
4	402	8
4	362	8

PRO TIP

Decisions, decisions. A tee shot played to the right of the upper fairway will leave a fairly straightforward approach to the green. Alternatively, a tee shot to the lower fairway, avoiding the fairway bunker and making sure to carry to the flat fairway, will leave an approach over the front bunker but either way the ball will feed from right to left when approaching the green.

5 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	152	18
3	135	18
3	126	18

HOLE FIVE | TABLE TOP

PAR 3, YARDS 152, STROKE INDEX 18

5 of 18

HOLE FIVE | TABLE TOP

A par 3 with a plateau green and protected by a bunker at the front right of the green, selecting the right club is key.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	152	18
3	135	18
3	126	18

PRO TIP

Depending on the wind direction, which could be two clubs difference, this hole plays a bit longer than it looks. It is possible to play over the right hand bunker and let the contours bring the ball onto the green or take dead aim at the flag. Anything too far left of the green will run down towards the sixth tee box.

6 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
5	512	16
5	496	16
5	483	16

HOLE SIX | ORCHID MOUND

PAR 5, YARDS 512, STROKE INDEX 16

6 of 18

HOLE SIX | ORCHID MOUND

A seemingly friendly par 5 but beware, this hole can jump up and bite you in a heartbeat! A fairway bunker on the left of the fairway, playing to a green protected by bunkers front left and right.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
5	512	16
5	496	16
5	483	16

PRO TIP

Ideally, play your tee shot to the right side of the fairway to allow for the ball to swing right to left and avoid the fairway bunker on the left. An approach to the right side of the green is advised to avoid the greenside bunker front right but beware of the greenside bunker on the right.

7 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
5	532	2
5	513	2
5	412	2

HOLE SEVEN | SKYLARKS

PAR 5, YARDS 532, STROKE INDEX 2

7 of 18

HOLE SEVEN | SKYLARKS

A challenging par 5, where once again an accurate tee shot is required. A bunker awaits on the left side of the fairway, playing to an elevated green with a cross bunker in front and a a bunker to the left of the green.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
5	532	2
5	513	2
5	412	2

PRO TIP

Again, aim your tee shot to the right side of the fairway to allow for the right to left contours and avoid the fairway bunker on the left. Keep your approach to the green to the right to avoid the cross bunker short of the green and bunker to the left. Make sure not to go too far right though, as out of bounds is lurking for an errant approach.

8 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	380	6
4	363	6
4	301	6

HOLE EIGHT | ASHDEN BANK

PAR 4, YARDS 380, STROKE INDEX 6

8 of 18

HOLE EIGHT | ASHDEN BANK

A tricky par 4, playing from an elevated tee to an elevated green. A bunker on the right from the tee awaits and a steep bank needs to be negotiated on the approach to a narrow green.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	380	6
4	363	6
4	301	6

PRO TIP

Keep your tee shot to the left side of the fairway to avoid the bunker on the right. Again, the wind direction will affect the approach and will usually play a bit longer than the yardage suggests, but anything too long will leave a tricky recovery shot downhill to the sharply breaking green.

9 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	188	12
3	166	12
3	135	12

HOLE NINE | THE KEEP

PAR 3, YARDS 188, STROKE INDEX 12

9 of 18

HOLE NINE | THE KEEP

A par 3 that's well protected by bunkers both front and right, along with ground sloping right to left.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	188	12
3	166	12
3	135	12

PRO TIP

The right-hand bunker is the ideal line with a touch of draw, anything short should feed into the long green. Wind direction will affect the tee shot and check the pin position to get the right club selection.

10 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	386	11
4	369	11
4	317	11

HOLE 10 | BADGERS TRAILS

PAR 4, YARDS 386, STROKE INDEX 11

10 of 18

HOLE 10 | BADGERS TRAILS

Starting the back 9 with a par 4 from an elevated tee and a fairway that slopes severely from right to left. A cross bunker in front of the green is ready to catch an approach to a green with greenside bunkers left and right.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	386	11
4	369	11
4	317	11

PRO TIP

Keep your tee shot to the right side of the fairway to allow for the right-to-left slope. Ensure that you have enough club to carry the cross bunker in front of the green but be aware of the out of bounds behind the green and the greenside bunkers to the left and right.

11 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
5	550	5
5	524	5
5	513	5

HOLE ELEVEN | LONG VALLEY

PAR 5, YARDS 550, STROKE INDEX 5

11 of 18

HOLE ELEVEN | LONG VALLEY

A long straight par 5, with a fairway bunker on the left from the tee, playing to an elevated green with bunkers to the left.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
5	550	5
5	524	5
5	513	5

PRO TIP

A tee shot to the right will feed left and a tee shot to the left will feed right and either option could bring the left-hand fairway bunker into play. The approach to the green will feed right to left with the left-hand bunkers waiting for anything slightly too far left.

12 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	440	1
4	425	1
5	400	1

HOLE TWELVE | CASTLE PROSPECT

PAR 4, YARDS 440, STROKE INDEX 1

12 of 18

HOLE TWELVE | CASTLE PROSPECT

A demading par 4, justifying the stroke index, invariably playing into the wind but just as challenging when played downwind, with a difference of two to three clubs. A fairway sloping right to left, with a fairway bunker from the tee on the right and a well protected green with bunkers left and right.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	440	1
4	425	1
5	400	1

PRO TIP

A tee shot towards the right-hand fairway bunker is the ideal line but be aware of the wind direction and speed. Any approach to the green will feed right-to-left with a bunker either side to collect anything that's other than perfect.

13 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	187	13
3	179	13
3	144	13

HOLE THIRTEEN | SPIRITS VIEWS

PAR 3, YARDS 187, STROKE INDEX 13

13 of 18

HOLE THIRTEEN | SPIRITS VIEWS

Difficult par 3, that demands an accurate tee shot to a green protected by bunkers left and right, where the wind is a factor in selecting the right club.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	187	13
3	179	13
3	144	13

PRO TIP

Ensure that you take enough club to carry the bunkers at the front left and right of the green. It is also possible to run a tee shot in from the left-hand side using the contours.

14 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	332	15
4	318	15
4	297	15

HOLE FOURTEEN | DINGLY DELL

PAR 4, YARDS 332, STROKE INDEX 15

14 of 18

HOLE FOURTEEN | DINGLY DELL

A short par 4 with some pitfalls to be negotiated from the tee. There are trees the entire length of the left side of the fairway, which slopes left to right, to a green protected by a deep bunker front right.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	332	15
4	318	15
4	297	15

PRO TIP

Favour the left side of the fairway from the tee, anything too far right will run off of the fairway and could leave you in Dingly Dell or blocked out for the approach to the green which should be kept to the left to avoid the tricky greenside bunker front left.

15 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	384	3
4	331	3
4	313	3

HOLE FIFTEEN | CHESTNUT TURN

PAR 4, YARDS 384, STROKE INDEX 3

15 of 18

HOLE FIFTEEN | CHESTNUT TURN

Another short par 4 with trees to be avoided from the tee. For your approach shot, look out for the trees again, as well as the bunkers on the left.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	384	3
4	331	3
4	313	3

PRO TIP

A tee shot left of the tree will leave a straightforward approach shot to the green, but anything too far left could catch the fairway bunker and leave an approach over the greenside bunker. Alternatively, play over the tree directly towards the green but beware of the two trees protecting the approach with your second shot. Definitely a risk and reward hole.

16 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	379	7
4	365	7
4	349	7

HOLE SIXTEEN | BEECH ROW

PAR 4, YARDS 379, STROKE INDEX 7

16 of 18

HOLE SIXTEEN | BEECH ROW

A straight par 4 with a fairway bunker to the right of the fairway from the tee and trees lining the entire right side of the hole to a small green.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	379	7
4	365	7
4	349	7

PRO TIP

The lone tree on the left of the fairway is the ideal line from the tee, avoiding the fairway bunker on the right. Be aware of the out of bounds to the left of the green when playing the approach shot and trees to the right of the green.

17 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	139	17
3	133	17
3	124	17

HOLE SEVENTEEN | BURNT OAK

PAR 3, YARDS 139, STROKE INDEX 17

17 of 18

HOLE SEVENTEEN | BURNT OAK

Another par 3 where the wind direction can make a difference to club selection, but it is sometimes difficult to feel it on the sheltered tee. Anything that is too long will be a tricky recovery.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	139	17
3	133	17
3	124	17

PRO TIP

Once you have chosen your club, take dead aim at the flag but beware firm bounces right to left, or through the green.

18 of 18

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	410	9
4	388	9
4	295	9

HOLE EIGHTEEN | DISTANT HOPE

PAR 4, YARDS 410, STROKE INDEX 9

18 of 18

HOLE EIGHTEEN | DISTANT HOPE

A challenging par 4 requiring a solid tee shot through a funnel of trees, with out of bounds all the way down the right hand side, to a protected green in front of the clubhouse. There are also bunkers left and right with a penalty area short of the green to catch an approach shot.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	410	9
4	388	9
4	295	9

PRO TIP

A daunting tee shot to finish, keep to the left to avoid the out of bounds on the right but be aware of the lone tree and copse to the left. The approach will usually play longer than the yardage suggests, playing slightly uphill. Take enough club to carry the penalty area in front of the green and avoid the bunkers on the left and right. There is also out of bounds behind the green for an overhit approach.

HOLE ONE

PAR 4, YARDS 326, STROKE INDEX 3

A tricky par 4 with a fairway sloping right to left to a small green with a bunker on the left.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	326	3
4	336	3
4	336	3

PRO TIP

Keep your tee shot to the right, to allow for the contours, as anything too far left will leave you blocked out from reaching the green with your approach. Play to the right of the green as the ground feeds right to left.

4	354	4

HOLE TWO

PAR -14, YARDS 371, STROKE INDEX 4

2 of 9

HOLE TWO

A par 4 right to left dog leg, requiring a tee shot around the corner or a conservative straight tee shot but be careful not to run out of fairway, playing to a small green.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
-14	371	4
4	354	4
4	354	4

PRO TIP

Risk and reward exemplefied! If you feel brave, take on the carry over the corner although anything mishit will leave you in trouble, or facing three off of the tee. Alternatively, a flick to the bottom of the hill will leave a straightforward approach to the green.

4	388	1
4	382	1
4	382	1

HOLE THREE

PAR 4, YARDS 388, STROKE INDEX 1

3 of 9

HOLE THREE

A challenging par 4 requiring an accurate tee shot to avoid the trees left and right of a narrow fairway that slopes left to right. A bunker left of the green is awaiting a misplaced approach shot.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	388	1
4	382	1
4	382	1

PRO TIP

Favour the left side of the fairway from the tee to allow for the left to right bounce but be careful not to pull the tee shot too far left into the trees, or push anything too far right as trees await there too. Probably the tightest tee shot of all our 27 holes. The approach to the green will feed slightly right to left but trouble is lurking behind the green for an overhit approach.

3	145	7
3	142	7
3	142	7

HOLE FOUR

PAR 3, YARDS 145, STROKE INDEX 7

4 of 9

HOLE FOUR

A pretty par 3, played over a valley to a plateau green, with interesting breaks and a bunker waiting to collect a short tee shot.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	145	7
3	142	7
3	142	7

PRO TIP

Wind direction and severity will seriously affect the club selection from the tee. Favour the right side of the green to avoid the bunker in front and the ball will feed in from the right.

4	324	6
4	278	6

HOLE FIVE

PAR 4, YARDS 324, STROKE INDEX 6

5 of 9

HOLE FIVE

A short par 4, played from an elevated tee where it is possible to reach the green with a good tee shot on a left to right hole with a fairway sloping right to left.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	324	6
4	278	6
4	278	6

PRO TIP

Aim for the left side of the fairway, which will leave a straightforward approach to the green. A power fade sent down the left may reach the green with a favourable bounce.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	195	8
3	151	8
3	151	8

HOLE SIX

PAR 3, YARDS 195, STROKE INDEX 8

HOLE SIX

A quirky par 3 with ground feeding sharply left to right and a green breaking sharply to the right.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	195	8
3	151	8
3	151	8

PRO TIP

The ideal tee shot is a high draw into the green, which can be difficult to hold. Another option is to aim well left for the ball to feed down to the green but anything left on the slope will leave a treacherous chip in.

7 of 9

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	311	5

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
4	300	2
4	297	2
4	297	2

PRO TIP

As with the 7th hole, keep your tee shot to the right side of the fairway to allow for the contours and favour the right side of the green for your approach shot.

PAR	YARDS	STROKE
3	143	9
3	140	9

3	140	9

PRO TIP

Club selection is key, check the wind direction and be aware of the bunker on the right side of the green.
