Hole 1: Par 3
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: A difficult opening hole which requires more club than the yardage suggests. An undulating elongated green allows for this and is the preferred shot if you want to avoid the deep bunker protecting the front right hand side of the green. Beware, too long and you could start your round with a three putt.
Hole 2: Par 5
White
Yellow
Red
Pro’s Tip: As the only Par 5 on the course this is a good opportunity for birdie. Reachable in two for the longer hitters, but from the tee, ensure you aim to the right side of the sloping fairway to leave the perfect approach shot into the green. Position is everything on this green if you want to win the hole.

Hole 3: Par 4
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: Our signature hole is a short yet challenging par 4 with a gradual dog-leg into a small green. Longer hitters will benefit here as anything short will lose momentum as the fairway inclines leaving a blind shot to the green. An accurate approach is required as the green is fraught with danger. Par is a good score here, be greedy and you may pay the price!
Hole 4: Par 4
White
Yellow
Red
Pro's Tip: A relatively simple par 4 awaits with bunkers strategically placed to catch out the longer player off the tee. Course management would question the use of a driver, as an approach shot from the fairway is key to controlling the ball on this sloping elevated green.
Hole 5: Par 3
White
Yellow
Red Tees- 99 Yards
Pro’s Tip: Another Par 3 which plays longer than the yardage. Club selection is vital on this hole as anything short will spin back towards the gulley leaving a tricky chip onto this large, two tiered green. Ideal line is to aim to the right half of the green as the green slopes from right to left.
Hole 6: Par 4
White
Yellow
Red
Pro's Tip: One of the few holes where you can really open your shoulders. Aim up the right side for the best line into the raised green. Beware of the two hidden bunkers near the green.

Hole 7: Par 3
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro’s Tip: A picturesque yet tight par 3 with pine trees towering over the left and right side of this sloping green.
From the tee, aim to the right half of the green and choose plenty of club but, beware, too long will leave a tricky down hill putt to save Par.
|
Hole 8: Par 4
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: A drive over the marker of about 180 yards leaves you the perfect flat lie from the fairway. Anything longer leaves a difficult pitch from a sloping lie into a guarded green.
|
Hole 9: Par 4
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: With the fairway sloping from left to right aim your tee shot left of the marker. The green slopes with the fairway so leave your ball under the hole for an aggressive uphill birdie putt, above the hole and it's goodbye Par.
|
Hole 10: Par 3
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: Great par 3 - use more club to account for the slope. Miss left leaves an easier up and down. Miss right, and two deep bunkers await.
|
Hole 11: Par 4
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: Driveable Par 4 for the longer hitter but anything other than accurate will be collected by the well placed fairway bunker. Approach the green with caution as the front to back slope makes pitching difficult. Try to land the ball short and rely on the bounce to get it close.
|
Hole 12: Par 3
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: A blind par 3 demanding accuracy off the tee. A long iron/hybrid over the trees is the ideal play onto a flat green. The bunker front right is no more so fortune will favour the brave. Par is a good score here.
|
Hole 13: Par 3
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: The elevated tee box gives you the perfect view of the trouble on this hole. From the tee, aim to the right half of the green and try to pitch the green as anything short will be collected by the swilled gulley leaving a tough chip onto the green.
|
Hole 14: Par 4
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: A narrow treelined hole sloping from left to right clearly requires accuracy off the tee. The brave will aim towards the woodlands on the left to allow for the sloping fairway. The green is small but miss right and it could be a lost ball, if not a bogey is inevitable.
|
Hole 15: Par 3
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: A long par 3 playing longer than the yardage suggests due to the uphill gradient. The green is wide but very narrow making landing your tee shot very difficult. More club is preferred however too long leaves an impossible chip from the trees which closely guard the back of the green. Par feels like a respectable score here, bogey is also a respectable score.
|
Hole 16: Par 4
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: Driver not necessary here. Aim left over the ladies tee box to avoid being blocked out by the tree on the right side of the fairway. A large green awaits and if birdie is the plan, aim to the right half of the green to leave the easier uphill putt.
|
Hole 17: Par 3
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: Short par 3 with all the trouble short. Accuracy is key as there is little room for error, missing right is certainly not an option. Overhanging trees, demand concentration from the tee along with a good touch on the deceptive green.
|
Hole 18: Par 4
|
|
White
|
|
Yellow
|
|
Red
|
Pro's Tip: A short par 4 to finish with.The longer players will fancy taking this on however, with 4 bunkers guarding this well protected green, hitting your target is not guaranteed. The green slopes from back to front so a 3 wood from the tee may be preferred leaving the ideal approach to this narrow target.
