A good tee shot will leave you on

top of the slope before the water,

bigger hitters can take it on at their

peril. The green is two tier and can

be deceiving but has OB long.

Members Advise

A faders delight as the slight

dogleg turns in the landing area.

Avoiding the bunkers on

approach is essential.

Members Advise 

Similar to the second but a much

tighter approach is needed and

the bunkers catch anything shy

though a ditch awaits those over hit.

Members Advise

Short but deceiving par 3 to a green that

some are convinced is the  flattest on the

course. Short is better than long here.

Members Advise

Usually into the wind the water

shouldn’t trouble any but catches

more than it’s share of second

shots. Keep to a three shot

strategy and you should have

a putt for par.

Members Advise

A deceptively long hole that asks

good questions of your longer

clubs on approach but too much

and you’ll have to ask the

neighbour for your ball back.

Members Advise

A very deceptive index 18. There are very few

“easy” pins here but pars are achievable

if you can find the dance floor.

Members Advise

With OB on the left and water in

the landing zone of most this

can be tricky but it’s risk/reward

to finish the front 9 and add

a birdie.

Members Advise

Best choice is an iron off the

tee for most, it will give you a

clear shot at the green and a

makeable two putt. With

water in play for all will you

dare take a chance?

Members Advise

A long dogleg left usually needs

a long metal wood approach to

a tricky green where most leave

happy with a bogey. 

Members Advise

Drivable for the bigger hitters but

with its own risks of a watery finish

beyond. A good play here is to find

the fairway and land to the front

of the green.

Members Advise

A Bombers delight, a huge fairway

to hit but too far either side means

trees come into play. Find the

fairway with your second as the

trees narrow and you’ll have a great

sight of the green as you try to

capitalise. A tricky green with a

hidden ridge on the left side.

Members Advise

A good drive that needs to find

the right side of the fairway, your

second may be blind but a great

chance to roll one onto the green

if you can make the distance.

All downhill to the green which

continues to fall away from you.

Members Advise

A long par 3, make sure you have

enough club and aim for the heart

of the heavily sloping green which

would rather you chip again.

Past the pin means a likely 3 putt.

Members Advise

Very picturesque hole with

Tara Hill as the backdrop.

Accuracy is key here as we

draw to a close. A long green

which is well protected by

slopes away to all sides.

Members Advise

Length can be a help but too close

to that tree and you’ll need to have

Seve’s hands, 35 yards from the front

of a dramatically sloped green,

will you go over it or around?

Members Advise

A strong finishing hole that will

need full commitment to whatever

shot you choose. A bailout shot

up the left is commonly seen.

A great finish to a great round

(hopefully).
