Hole 1-6   Hole 7-12    Hole 13-18


Hole 1   Junction   503 metres   Par 5
A wide inviting first fairway but the player who places his tee shot well to the right is rewarded with an open second through the left hand dogleg, leaving a short pitch to a deep green guarded by a short steep slope on the right and behind.
Tee shots left of centre leave the player shut out from the dogleg meaning a precise, lay-up second is required.

Hole 2   Fry Pan   318 metres   Par 4
The natural left to right contour of the hole, along with a dominant pine on the right of the fairway indicate that this hole sets up for a drive up the left centre of the fairway.
From here its a straight forward short iron to a relatively flat putting surface.
The "bony" nature of the rough on either side of this hole ensures that players hitting the fairway are justly rewarded.

Hole 3   The Hump   140 metres   Par 3
A classic short hole that changes character dramatically when the wind gets up from any direction.
In calm conditions it requires a short to medium iron from the elevated tee to a wide green protected by a large bunker at the front left.
In breezy conditions the club selection must be precise to hold the green which sits at a deceptive angle to the line of the fairway.
Tee shots landing short may well run all the way back to the bunker.

Hole 4   Long Ridge   522 metres   Par 5
Aptly named, this is a meaty par 5 requiring a lengthy carry from the tee, preferably into the centre right of the fairway, avoiding a deep fairway bunker and patchy, rough on the left.
The second is played blind from an uphill lie to set up a pitch across a small gully to a shallow, wide green that slopes severely from back to front.

The premium on the second shot is to leave a full shot in from the opposite side of the fairway to the hole placement.
A deep bunker on the front right corner of the green adds to the intimidating view.
A short 3rd shot will roll all the way back into the gully in front of the green and one placed above the hole can leave the player a frighteningly quick downhill putt.

Hole 5   Calamity   187 metres   Par 3
Into a south easterly this is a daunting tee shot and the nor-wester with its strong cross wind from left to right is not much easier.
This a long iron, sometimes a wood, to a long green with a strong slope from back to front and steep shoulders to the left and right to carry errant strokes away from the putting surface.
Three is always a good score here.

Hole 6   Molyneux   360 metres   Par 4
A long carry from the tee to a left-hand dogleg sets up a medium iron into this strong par 4.
A tee shot down the left side needs to be solidly struck to carry far enough to give a clear run into the green, which is angled slightly right to left across the line of the fairway.
A "waste area" short left and a steep slope along the left side of the green indicate the safe play with the second shot is toward the right side of the putting surface.
