PAR 4, YARDS 368, STROKE INDEX 6
This par 4 opening hole has a slight dog leg right to a protected green. From the tee you are welcomed with a nice open fairway that then pitches with a tree either side to narrow your route through. Down the right of the fairway is a wooden area that blocks your view of the green. Hitting to the left of the fairway will give you the best approach to the green. This will open up the green which is guarded by three bunkers at the front of the green.

PAR 3, YARDS 159, STROKE INDEX 16
Hole two is the easiest par 3 on the course. It's a deceptive hole that requires more club than you would usually take. Playing from an elevated tee down to a wide green that slopes back to front. The hole opens up once past the hedgerow that runs the width of the hole and use the natural slope as this runs down hill towards the green that is particially hidden from your view on the tee. There are two medium sized bunkers to the left of the green and a wide run off area to the right. If you play this too long, you are in danger of losing your ball as there is a big drop at the back of the green to a dense wooded area. A wide flat welcoming green gives a big target to hit.

PAR 4, YARDS 344, STROKE INDEX 10
From the tee you are playing to a blind green, use the trees as your reference points, as these will guide you to the ideal position. A bank of trees on the left and a thick tree line sat back from the fairway on the right are your only obstacles on this hole. Aim down the left-hand side as the fairway slightly slopes left to right, this will give you a good approach to the green.
Around the green, there are three bunkers to navigate, two either side of the front fringe and one at the back. Be cautious not to over hit the green as this will run down into trees and long rough or leave you with a niggly bunker shot.

PAR 5, YARDS 477, STROKE INDEX 14
The first of five par 5s. You can afford to take a risk with a long drive, the downhill fairway will give you a good roll and open your options for your second shot. A generous fairway to aim for will favour a little draw shot to find the centre of the fairway. Long hitters can get there in two shots for a chance at an eagle, but anything short and left will find a watery grave, while anything right will find the sand. The conservative shot will be to lay up before the stream for a short chip onto the green. A two tier green with a single bunker to the right will make you concentrate to the end.

This second par 3 is the longest at 200 yards and a straight uphill shot is a challenging hole. The stream in front of the teeing should not be in contention. Don’t be shy and take plenty of club and make sure you get it up the hill and avoid the two bunkers blocking the straight run to the green.

PAR 5, YARDS 508, STROKE INDEX 8
Second of the par 5s, this hole is a dog leg right and a split fairway and plays longer than the yardage suggests, so make sure you don't leave it short as it will be difficult to recover. From the tee, use the lone oak tree as your guide, use the wide fairway as it favours hitting up the left to open up the second shot. Avoid hitting right from the tee as a single bunker lies in wait, you will be tucked in behind a thicket of trees that will hinder your second shot.
Beyond the oak tree, it's a straight run to the green. The fairway features a few set back trees that shouldn't obstruct your approach shot to a raised green cornered by three bunkers. The green is one of the toughest on the course. Leave your approach shot short and left of the flag for an uphill putt if you can. If you go long, you will be in thick rough and trees.

Statistically the easiest hole on the course, this par 5 still needs to be shown respect when playing. Not much to contend with if kept on the fairway, you can make the green in two but avoid the large front bunker in front of the green.

This is the hardest hole on the front nine. This uphill par 4 plays all of its yardage. Two trees that can be in contention from the tee. The tricky two tier green is a small target for the length of the hole. Another shallow green that sites diagonally left to right with the teir sitting in the middle of the green.

A great par 5 with a sweeping dogleg welcomes you to the back nine holes. A good tee shot past the tall trees that line the left of the fairway is required - this hole has a lot of trees to contend with if you stray from the fairway. Make sure to avoid the pond on the left on your second shot to leave a good pitch to the green.

A short par 3 with a straight run into the three tier green awaits your tee shot. If the flag is on the back tier try not to get too greedy as the bunker that's long and to the right of the green will grab your ball leaving you with a tricky bunker shot.

This split fairway hole has a lot of hazards to contend with. The brook running through the hole could be in contention for the longer drivers. Don't play the green short and avoid the bunker that's short and to the right of the green. The two bunkers to the left of the green shouldn't be in play. The green is, however, fairly flat once you get there.

This is the toughest hole on the course and difficult to get a good second shot. The second part of the fairway is blocked by a large gathering of trees and a brook running through the hole. The second half of the fairway features a large tree in the middle and more overhanging trees on the right. If you make it past the trees you will have a good shot into the green.

A nice par 3 that requires a solid strike to clear the water hazard, long rough and bunker that sits at the front of the green. There is a small fairway around the green but this is guarded by trees. Play for the green as the it slopes from back to front and will help hold the ball.

A fairly straight forward par 4 hole to a good sized green. Play this straight at the green to avoid the large bunker half way down the thin fairway. This will give you a good run into the green for a relatively scoreable par 4.

From the tee, this long par 5 has a slight dogleg left and is a three shot hole for most people. Make sure your tee shot makes the fairway to set up for a good second shot. Avoid the swell in the middle of the fairway to give a clean shot to a well guarded green, which is protected by two bunkers on either side.

Arguably the hardest par 3 on the course. The green is set on an angle away from the tee, the more attacking you play to the right the further you will need to play your shot to avoid the water. Make sure to clear the water to make the green, there is a bunker at the back of the green to catch any shots that go long on the hole.

The final hole is a par 4 that requires the player to think about their shot selection to avoid the hazards. Use the tree as the target for your tee shot - ideally you want your shot to be just pass the left side of the tree to give the most open line to the hole. Don't let the water hazard distract you from your second shot. A uphill shot over water to the green that's guarded by two small bunkers. Take a extra club to make the wide green.
