Course

At 5,942 yards, par 70 and SSS 69 for 18 holes the course will provide a good test even for better golfers.

1st Hole – Starting at the par 5 first the hole is tree lined most of the way with the green siting at the top of the rising fairway.

2nd Hole – The second hole is a fairly short and straight par 4 although the green is not visible from the medal tee. The undulating fairway slopes from left to right which can lead to a tricky second shot.

3rd Hole – The third hole is a short par 3 with the green protected by four bunkers. Miss to the left and you’ll have a trickly chip back up to the green.

4th Hole – The longish fourth hole has plenty of hazards. A straight drive down an undulating tree lined fairway there is a dip and then a wall to be overcome. The sloping green sits up very high from the fairway and is guarded by bunkers left and right and beyond the green is some very uninviting rough!

5th Hole – The fifth hole is a short dogleg left par 4 with a two-tiered green guarded by bunkers either side.

6th Hole – The sixth hole is a long par 4 dogleg right around the course’s famous pigeon Do’cote. The fairway is tree lined on the left while any shot hitting the green left of centre is likely to roll off to the left.

7th Hole – The seventh hole is a straight forward par 4 which crosses the first fairway. Again, it has a sloping green and hit too long and you’ll find more trouble.

8th Hole – The eight hole is a long par 3. A burn to the right along with two bunkers and another on the left requires a straight shot. There is a large mound on the front left of the green, which also has dip running across the front of it.

9th Hole – The final hole, the ninth is a longish par 4. You drive over a burn that runs the length of the right hand fairway beyond the burn is the boundary fence. The fairway is separated on the left from the first fairway by trees. The green has a large dip in front of it and out of bounds at the back. 

The greens are usually fast and while many of them look flat there are plenty of slopes which can take you by surprise. The great thing about a 9-hole course is that if you get to play each hole twice and hopefully, you’ll have learned from any mistakes first time around.

So why not come down and give the course a try, you’ll be surprised at not only how good it is but also how testing it is to play.
