Hole 1: Par 4
This will prove in time to be a very difficult opening
hole. The slope from left to right will have a big effect
on the bounce of the ball and the stance of the player
for the second shot. There will be some very difficult
pin places over or near bunkers. An understanding of
the best place to miss the green will be quite important.
|
Hole 2: Par
4
I really enjoy the look of this hole. You have to put
the tee shot in the only right place for your individual
golf game. It is not an easy hole and in addition a
tricky green. I particularly like the undulations and
the change of elevation as you play. The bunkers to
the left are penal but missing the fairway to the right
will give you different problems.
|
Hole 3: Par 4
A straight away short par 4 but will actually prove
to be quite tricky because of the severity of the bunker
in front of the green. The tee shot should be played
as much to the left as possible avoiding the big fairway
bunker – this will give you a better line and
approach to the green. The further away you play from
this bunker to the right the more difficult the second
shot will be.
|
Hole 4: Par 3
A good par 3 with some links style golf incorporated
into the design. The bunker to the right looks menacing
and it looks as if the left is easier but this will
probably not be true as the bank will prove to be difficult
for recovery. The best place is on the green!
|
Hole 5: Par 4
The more adventurous line from the tee is across the
bunkers to the left hand side of the fairway. This will
give you a better approach and entry into the green.
The further to the right off the tee the more the bunkers
will come into play around the green. The ball should
gather onto the putting surface from the right hand
side, so it should play a little easier than it first
looks. |
Hole 6: Par 5
Two straight hits are all that is required for it is
the third shot and the pin placement that make this
hole memorable. It can be an easy par 5 but the bunkers
are deep and not very forgiving around the green. Play
with some patience for the best result.
|
Hole 7: Par 3
This is a terrific par 3 and a real picture. The tree
in front of the green adds a little spice and may cause
controversy in the future. Because hitting over the
back of the green is so desperate, club selection is
vital. Extremely pretty but treacherous hole.
|
Hole 8: Par 4
Opportunities to build a golf hole in this setting are
rare and I hope we have done it justice. Only a short
par 4 but the result favours the brave. It is a long
tricky green with a couple of difficult pin positions.
The approach may favour some traditional pitch and run-ups
when the wind is blowing.
|
Hole 9: Par 5
A good tee shot will provide you with a choice of either
carrying on up the left or opting to cross over the
lake for the easier approach shot. This will be a demanding
par 5 for the handicap player who will have to select
each shot quite carefully because there are plenty of
problems and hazards to catch mistakes.
|
Hole 10: Par 5
A straight forward hole with all the hazards and opportunities
on display for the golfer. No options here, except to
flight the ball through the air for the approach. Good
shots will be rewarded.
|
Hole 11: Par 3
This is a demanding par 3 with major problems to the
left hand side as the slope will carry the ball away.
A well flighted shot will give a good result but the
green has been opened up to the right hand side and
balls should gather and run onto the green surface from
that side.
|
Hole 12: Par 4
The first of the forest holes and quite an intimidating
one. The bunkers on the corner of the dog-leg should
make it impossible to cut the corner, so a safe route
to the left fairway is required. The second shot is
all carry to the elevated green. This should be one
of the hardest holes on the course. |
Hole 13: Par 4
Another dog-leg to right through the forest and again
to an elevated green. The landing area for the tee shot
is quite generous but it is the deep bunker in front
of the green that everybody will remember.
|
Hole 14: Par 4
The choice here is to play to the left with a tee shot
to the generous fairway or try to carry the cross bunker
which will shorten the hole considerably. The green
is very long and narrow and club selection will be incredibly
important. The lake is picturesque but an intimidating
prospect.
|
Hole 15: Par 3
Another pretty looking par 3 with a fantastic panorama.
There are no alternatives and the golfer just has to
make a good strike to get across the water. There is
a lot more margin for error on the right hand side,
but the most dangerous flag positions are on the left
of the green.
|
Hole 16: Par 4
One of the difficult holes of the golf course which
calls for an accurate and straight drive. There is a
little more room to the left so aiming at the bunker
is probably the line off the tee. The second shot to
the elevated green has problems to the front with a
deep bunker and at the back falling off to a valley.
Any shot played short will roll back down the bank towards
the stream but any shot long enough and a little to
the right will work well as the ball will gather towards
the hole.
|
Hole 17: Par 4
A dog-leg right to left and the best line is to be as
close to the bunker on the left as possible which will
give you the best line to the green. Any tee shots to
the right hand side of the fairway look the safest but
you will have to fly over the bunker located some 70
yards in front of the green.
|
Hole 18: Par 5
The hole is straight away at the breweries funnel and
the logo for the golf club. There is a lot of movement
and slopes which will make it difficult for the second
shot, although the green is well protected with bunkers,
there is a way in from the right hand side. A good birdie
chance for the better player to finish on a high.
