Hole 2

Hole 1

Hole Description

With out of bounds running down the right, the ideal drive favours the left half of the fairway, though caution is required as bunkers and broom guard that side. A well-placed tee shot leaves a mid- to short-iron approach to a two-tiered green. Accuracy is essential, as the green is raised along the sides and at the back, with run-off areas that can leave a demanding recovery.

Hole 2

Hole Description

This hole presents a deceptively inviting tee shot, but avoid letting the ball drift right, where gorse and the racetrack run the full length of the hole, note that the racetrack is not out of bounds. Longer hitters may reach the green in two, though out of bounds lurks just beyond the fence behind the green. For most players, the hole sets up with a third shot from inside 130 yards, where a well-played pitch can provide an excellent birdie opportunity.

Hole 3

Hole Description

An accurate tee shot is essential on this hole. Longer hitters may choose to challenge the fairway bunker, while most players are better served aiming just left of it. The mid- to short-iron approach is played to a well-protected green, guarded by two bunkers on either side. Care is required to avoid running the ball through the green, as out of bounds lies close behind and to the right. Birdies are rare here, and a par is a very respectable score.

Hole 4

Hole Description

This is a tricky par 3 that demands a well-flighted tee shot to carry the broom and gorse. Anything struck too short may find the large grassy hollow short of the green. A miss to the left offers the safer option, while the right side leaves a challenging recovery from the rough or the racetrack, with a bunker also guarding the front right of the green. Par is an excellent score here.

Hole 5

Hole Description

A classic risk-and-reward hole. Longer hitters may be tempted to attack the green, but with the racetrack running along the right, gorse to the left, and bunkers in play, the tee shot must be straight. The green is reachable in two with a long iron or fairway wood played short of the bunkers, though undulations in the landing area rarely provide a level lie. A more conservative strategy can still set up a realistic birdie opportunity.

Hole 6

Hole Description

Once again, the racetrack hugs the right side of the hole, while three fairway bunkers guard the left half, with broom waiting beyond. A straight tee shot is required. The approach is a mid- to short-iron played to a two-tiered green, where accuracy is paramount. Miss left and a deep bunker awaits; miss right and you’ll face thick rough. Staying below the hole on this green is strongly advised.

Hole 7

Hole Description

From a slightly elevated tee, this hole is lined by broom and gorse on both sides, with a bunker guarding either edge of the corner approximately 150 yards from the green. The ideal drive favours the left half of the fairway, setting up a direct approach while avoiding the grass bunker short right. The green slopes away on all sides, so accuracy is key—miss left and a bunker awaits, while an overly aggressive approach can run into deep rough, leaving a difficult up-and-down.

Hole 8

Hole Description

Often playing longer than its 435 yards due to the prevailing wind, this demanding hole rewards a strong tee shot. Cutting the corner from the left brings broom into play, and the more you attempt to shorten the hole, the greater the carry required, take on too much and a provisional ball may be needed. A blocked or sliced drive will find the racetrack on the right. The approach demands precision, with bunkers guarding the left side of the green and the racetrack tight to the right. For many players, this Stroke Index 1 hole will require three well-planned shots.

Hole 9

Hole Description

A reachable par 5, this hole tempts longer hitters to challenge the racetrack that crosses the fairway, and again just in front of the green. Those attempting to reach in two must carry a high, well-struck second shot. The green is protected by trees and bunkers on both sides, with out of bounds lurking behind. A more conservative strategy often offers better birdie opportunities, but keep below the hole, as the green slopes sharply from back to front.

Hole 10

Hole Description

From the highest tee on the course, this hole invites a big, confident drive, but accuracy is essential, as trees line both sides and a fairway bunker waits to catch any wayward shots. The mid- to long-iron approach demands precision, with bunkers guarding the front left and front right of the green. Subtle slopes from front to back and tricky green speeds can easily catch players off guard.

Hole 11

Hole Description

The left half of the fairway is the preferred line off the tee, steering clear of the large Silver Birch beside the 17th green, while the right side is guarded by three fairway bunkers. The green itself is well protected, with three bunkers stretching from front left to back right, but a precise approach to this raised green can be richly rewarded with a birdie. This hole stands as one of the finest examples of James Braid’s architectural touch on the course.

Hole 12

Hole Description

For players who enjoy shaping the ball, a fade around the corner is the ideal line, but be careful not to overplay it, or the ball may vanish into the broom and gorse on the right. Precision is essential on the approach, as any chip from around the green will likely come from hollows below the putting surface, making up-and-downs a real challenge.

Hole 13

Hole Description

The green is hidden from view at the tee, nestled in a natural bowl, so careful attention to yardage and the wind is essential. Broom and gorse flank the hole, ready to catch any errant tee shot. The green slopes significantly from back to front, so keeping your approach below the hole will leave a far more manageable birdie putt.

Hole 14

Hole Description

A well-struck tee shot is essential to carry the old quarry; anything short will leave a challenging pitch up a steep bank to the green. Thick broom lines the left, and a venerable oak guards the front-left of the green. A solid drive sets up a very makeable birdie putt on this relatively flat putting surface.

Hole 15

Hole Description

Accuracy off the tee is crucial on this hole, as out of bounds runs along the right side for the majority of its length. A pulled shot left must also navigate clear of the old quarry penalty area. For medium and long hitters, the racetrack crosses the fairway at driving distance, adding challenge to the second shot. The green, small and flat, sits beneath a magnificent sycamore. From distance, a running approach may be required, while longer hitters will need a high, well-struck shot to hold the putting surface.

Hole 16

Hole Description

The fairway on this hole is wide, though broom encroaching from the left can make it appear narrower from the tee. Trust your line and take advantage of the opportunity for a big drive, favouring the left half of the fairway. This sets up a mid- to long-iron approach to a green well protected by bunkers on both sides.

Hole 17

Hole Description

This is the only par 3 on the course with an unobstructed view of the green, but it is also the longest, requiring most players to hit a long club to a well-protected target. Two bunkers guard each side of the green, ready to catch any errant tee shot, while the silver birch to the left can repel anything pulled in that direction.

Hole 18

Hole Description

A gently left‑turning, flat hole, the tee shot appears inviting, but favor the fairway near the mature birch on the left, as the bunker and bushes to the right can easily catch wayward drives. Playing just past the right‑side bunker leaves a direct line along the length of the green, which slopes subtly from front to back. Long hitters may choose to carry the tree for a simpler approach, but broom and gorse lie beyond to the left. Careful judgment is also needed on the approach to clear the road running in front of the green.
