A downhill par 3 to start. Your choice is to land it short and hope for a favourable bounce or to be brave and pitch it all the way.
A straight par 4. The tee shot is key, with out of bounds all up the right the tendancy is to favour the left of the fairway. Beware though, too far left and you bring the pond into play when going for the green.
A long par 3 which can be as much as a driver when the wind is blowing. The green is elevated and the best approach is from the right hand side.
Trees and rough all up the right, out of bounds all up the left and uphill to boot. Again the tee shot is key. Keeping the ball straight off the tee is paramount. However, it doesn’t end there, the green is surrounded by bunkers, so anything wayward, and a good start can be ruined.
Stroke index 1. Usually into the wind and a good par four. The drive needs to be up the left hand side of the fairway as everything goes right with the slope towards the trees. The second shot is equally difficult as the green is slightly elevated with anything right leaving you a nasty chip to try and save par.
A par 4 with out of bounds all down the right. Newly planted shrubs on the left hand side of the fairway makes this hole tighter still, which off the back white tee measures 425yds. The green is protected left by bunkers and anything right can leave an awkward little chip shot. Being long, however, is worse still with deep rough behind the green backed up by the out of bounds boundary wall.
A straight par 4 and not too long. However, with out of bounds both right and all the way up to the green on the left, this short par four doesn’t offer up as many birdies as you would imagine. The green is protected right by a solitary bunker which given the out of bounds to the left sees many a golfer trying to save par from it!
This par four is shorter still and offers a good birdie chance to those playing well. A well-hit drive may reach the green but remember the out of bounds continues all the way down the left and trees await those going right. The fairway slopes hard from left to right and a draw short is preferable, possibly leaving the driver in the bag. Hitting the green here is key as anything right will keep going down the slope leaving an awkward chip.
A tricky par 3 to end your first nine. Pitching the green is your best bet but this requires an accurate shot. Trying to land it short and running on can be difficult because of the slopes around the greens. Bunkers are position nicely to attract anything right or short left.
Having played the front nine you now have the knowledge to go and burn it up on the back nine, or do you? The back nine is played to the same greens as the front nine but with completely different tees and angles of approach, the back nine doesn’t offer the easy run home you may think!!
