Course advice from our Professional

1st hole - par 4: A short but narrow opening hole, keep your tee-shot up the right hand side of the fairway.

2nd hole - par 5: A blind tee-shot requires you to aim at the marker post and keep your approach shots to the green up the right hand side. There is a very deceptively sloping green.

3rd hole - par 4: You must be very accurate with your approach shot to the small, well-guarded green.

4th hole - par 3: A smooth swing to produce an accurate tee-shot is required. Miss the green and you’re in trouble!

5th hole - par 4: This beautifully sculptured hole favours a drive down the left hand side to get a good look at the pin.

6th hole - par 4: Don’t let the water put you off! Lay-up short of the fairway bunker and avoid the out of bounds on the left with your approach shot to the green.

7th hole - par 3: One of the toughest par 3’s around. A well-struck long club is required to reach the green but avoid the water to the right.

8th hole – par 5: A very testing par 5. Be patient and take extra club up the very steep climb.

9th hole – par 4: With out of bounds down the left and a sloping fairway, two very accurate long shots are required to reach the green. You’re playing well if you make par here!

10th hole – par 3: SIGNATURE HOLE - A much talked about hole in the area. This deceptively deep green means precise clubbing is essential. Hidden contours require you to favour your tee shot to the left hand side of the green.

11th hole – par 4: A gentle sloping fairway requires a tee shot up the right hand side. You need to be very accurate into this long and thin green.

12th hole – par 4: Another accurate tee shot is needed, leaving you an approach shot that must be struck well to carry the road.

13th hole – par 3: Precision with a short club is vital. This is another very deceptively tricky green to putt on.

14th hole – par 5: A picturesque par 5. Play a fade off the tee and you’ll be in position ‘A’. A lay up short of the bunkers leaves an extremely testing short approach shot into the narrow green.

15th hole - par 3: Take enough club to carry the water but avoid the out of bounds to the right.

16th hole – par 4: Accuracy off the tee and good club selection is the answer to this great par 4. It is very easy to under club on your approach shot.

17th hole ‘- par 4: Another testing tee shot. The gentle sloping fairway favours a drive up the right hand side. This green is a narrow target, which basically means precision is a must!

18th hole – par 5: A draw is the best shape to play off this tee. Big hitters can reach the green in 2. The safe play is to lay up leaving you a wedge into the green.
