Hole 1 - Chapel Hill

 

Men's Par 5
 509Yds
SI 10

Ladies' Par 5
 488Yds

Plenty of room for a driver off the tee. Well guarded green, but potential birdie for long hitters.

 

Hole 2 - The Rat

 

Men's Par 3
159Yds
SI 16

Ladies' Par 3
139Yds

SI 15

 

Beware of the wind, it tunnels in against you, which usually means an extra club.



Hole 3 - Lost Elms

 

Men's Par 4
379Yds
SI 4

Ladies' Par 4
331Yds

SI 3

 

Tough uphill tee shot to avoid bunker. A long 2nd shot, plenty of room to bail out to the right of green if you're not feeling brave!

 

Hole 4 - Finborough Drop

 

Men's Par 3
 250Yds
SI 12

Ladies' Par 4
272Yds

SI 17

 

All the trouble is behind the green, anything short will run down near to the target.



Hole 5 - Sam's Cottage

 

Men's Par 4
 403Yds
SI 2

Ladies' Par 4
353Yds

SI  5

 

This hole is tight! Favour an iron from the tee. The green is well protected, so accuracy is required.

 

Hole 6 - Pines

 

Men's Par  4
314Yds
SI 18

Ladies' Par 4
 291Yds
SI 13

 

Avoid the fairway traps and the four guarding the green. Beware of the pine trees, many good golfers have lost out to them!



Hole 7 - Theatre

 

Men's Par 4
 392Yds
SI 8

Ladies' Par 4
363Yds
SI 1

 

A long drive gets you to the flat ground. Trust the yardage and take enough club to this well guarded green.

 

Hole 8 - Chestnut Corner

 

Men's Par 4
378Yds
SI 6

Ladies' Par 4
 329Yds

Men's Par 3
190Yds
SI 14

Ladies' Par 3
168Yds
SI 14

Hole 10 - Burnt Oak

 

Men's Par 4
 387Yds
SI 7

Ladies' Par 4
343Yds
SI 8

 

Trees right make this slight dog-leg play its full length. Club selection is vital on approach to this narrow target.

 

Hole 11 - Rookery

 

Men's Par 3
 150Yds
SI 15

Ladies' Par 3
135Yds
SI 18

 

Shortest hole on the course. Green slopes back to front making the ball stop quickly. Don't be long-trees at the back!



Hole 12 - The Oaks

 

Men's Par 4
 362Yds
SI 1

Ladies' Par 4
322Yds
SI 2

 

Difficult drive. Think about a long iron off the tee. Accuracy required for the narrow undulating green.

 

Hole 13 - Chestnuts

 

Par 5
Men's 543Yds
SI 9

Ladies' Par 5
474Yds

SI 10

 

Downhill dog-leg right, requires a drive left of centre. Percentage second shot is to lay-up short for a full chip to large, open green.



Hole 14 - Devil's Hill

 

Par 4
Men's 396Yds
SI 3

Ladies' Par 4
314Yds

SI 6

 

Uphill drive and avoid fairway bunkers. Long second shot to a two-tiered green. Beware, the bunker just short.

 

Hole 15 - Ice House

 

Par 4
Men's 373Yds
SI 11

Ladies' Par 4
345Yds

SI 14

 

A drive down the left leaves a mid-iron to this large green. Avoid the two bunkers and the green will hold a full shot in.



Hole 16 - Up and Over

 

Par 4
Men's 326Yds
SI 13

Ladies' Par 4
311Yds

SI 12

 

Fairway slopes from left to right forcing most shots into the right rough. This will leave you a blind approach. Trust  the yardage and aim for the middle of the green. Beware O.O.B. long and left!

 

Hole 17 - Alders

 

Par 4
Men's 437Yds
SI 5

Ladies' Par 4
356Yds

SI 4

 

Possibly the toughest hole on the course. A tight drive to the left of fairway will give you a flat lie and a full view of the green. Avoid the water  left and the bunker short of the green. Take plenty of club!



Hole 18 - Home

 

Par 3
Men's 159Yds
SI 17

Ladies' Par 3
132Yds

SI 16

 

Although this hole is only 159 yards, it needs full attention! The slopes on the left take your ball into deep rough. A tree and two bunkers guard the right.
