Hole
1 |
A testing
dog-leg from an elevated tee. Well-guarded green with out of bounds
left and water in front. |
Hole
2 |
A long Par
3 uphill - make sure you take enough club. Bunker left and right. |
Hole
3 |
Short Par
4 with a narrow entrance to testing green - water at rear. |
Hole
4 |
A very picturesque
Par 3 - water a dominant feature. |
Hole
5 |
A very tight
Par 5 - premium on an accurate drive. Don't take any risks. |
Hole
6 |
A pretty
Par 4 along the Deben River - keep right of the tee. |
Hole
7 |
A dog-leg
right with water protecting the green in front - don't go left. |
Hole
8 |
A challenging par 3,slightly uphill. The golfer must negotiate through a variety of hazards. A stream in front of the tee box combines with a pond short of the green. However taking too much club brings the woods into play at the back of the green. |
Hole
9 |
A right to left tee
shot gives you the only chance of hitting the fairway on this dog-leg.
There are established trees all down the left and right of the hole.
A pond short of the green invariably causes the golfer to be long
leaving a tricky chip shot back. |
Hole
10 |
A deceptive
Par 3 as the hedgerow down the left is closer to the green than it
looks. |
Hole
11 |
From an elevated tee
the golfer has to decide how much of the left to right dog-leg he
can cut off. Trees and rough down the right can ruin a good score. |
Hole
12 |
A short
Par 3 but guarded by deep bunkers both short and long of the elevated
green. |
Hole
13 |
Par 4 with out of bounds
on the right and deep rough left. A string of bunkers down the middle
of the fairway waiting to catch tee s |
Hole
14 |
A tricky
Par 3 with the oldest alder tree in the country coming into play off
the tee. |
Hole
15 |
Another picturesque
Par 4 alongside the River Deben and out of bounds on the right of
this dog-leg. |
Hole
16 |
The pond 50 yards short
of the green catches many tee shots. Emphasis on accuracy off the
tee may result in a birdie or par. |
Hole
17 |
Long Par 5 with the
premium on an accurate tee shot aimed at the marker post in the centre
of the fairway. |
Hole
18 |
Although not long this
hole features the most protected green on the course. Water comes
into play both left and long of the green out of bounds. Left down
the fairway can also ruin a good score. |
