#18: Ian Hutcheon
Good par 5 hole with trouble down the right for both 1st and 2nd shots. A long narrow green with a small entrance is positioned in front of the Clubhouses.Pro’s tip: “A real risk and reward hole. Played steadily for a 5 does not present too many problems, but trying to hit the green with […]
#17: Provost Stewart
A long par 4 with a narrow tee shot. A ring of bunkers 65yds short of the green demands the choice of going for it, or a lay up. A long sloping green.Pro’s tip: “This is a great golf hole. Easier said than done, but try to avoid the bunkers.”
#16: Wilderness
Short par 4 which proves that length is not needed for a well designed hole. Large bunkers left and right stop long hitters going for the green which is itself well bunkered.Pro’s tip: “A well placed tee shot is essential. Short on line is better than long left”
#15: The Plantation
Many think of this as our signature hole. It requires a good drive to the left half of the ridge. Anything down the right and you are forced to deal with the large tree guarding the front right of the green.Pro’s tip: “If you can’t drive over the ridge then it is best to play […]
#14: The Sandbed
Last of the par 3s. Shortest of the 3, but not necessarily the easiest. The green looks small from the tee because it is so well bunkered.Pro’s tip: “Check the wind direction on the tee,plays longer than looks. This hole lies in a different direction to the 13th.”
#13: The Pyramids
The course starts to head for home. Tough par 4 with a narrow fairway and trouble on both sides. A small awkward green.Pro’s tip: “For the handicap golfer, 5 is a good score. ”
#12: Elsinore
Fairly gentle par 4 with an angle ridge to make the bigger hitters think off the tee. Bunkers and gorse await any 2nd shot hit to the right.Pro’s tip: “Pay attention to judgement of 2nd shot.”
#11: Ashbank
2nd par 3. Tightly bunkered left and right at the green, with gorse bushes awaiting the errant shot on both sides.Pro’s tip: “Take plenty club. It plays longer than it looks.”
#10: The Rashies
Par 4 with one of the most demanding drives. Water to the left,heather mounds to the right. Beware the gathering bunker to right of green.Pro’s tip: “Similar to the 1st hole, it is not necessarily a Driver off the tee”
#9: Long Hole
First par 5. Fairly generous off the tee but avoid the bunker at 250 on the left, the second shot requires a good one with plenty trouble waiting for the 2nd shot. Tightly bunkered at the green.Pro’s tip: “Try to keep both drive and 2nd shot to left half of fairway.”
