Hole 9
Hole 7 Hole 10
No 7 : Par 4 – Mens : 310 m . Ladies : 299 m
The seventh is a lovely short par four , water at 200 metres on both sides of the fairway leaving a narrow landing area . Once negotiated the party isn ’ t over with more water beckoning your ball on the left of the green with a bank on that side sliding towards the wet stuff . To add further insult to injury , the green has a few subtle breaks that may leave you bemused .
Hole 8
No 8 : Par 3 – Mens : 170 m . Ladies : 136 m
Eight is another par three , again uphill all the way so take enough stick . Be careful of the huge bunker on the left hand side . The green slopes right to left and is very quick from back to front . Take note of the pin position to be sure you are below the hole .
No 9 : Par 4 – Mens : 364 m . Ladies : 358 m
The ninth is a lovely par four finish to the front nine ( noting that you are nowhere near the clubhouse after this hole – it ’ s at the end of the tenth ). OOB follows the hole all the way down the left with heavy trees and hazards right . Bending gently left you ’ ll need a longer iron to the green that is pear shaped with the small bit at the front , sided by two Archies . A tier in the middle of the green will provide more fun than a rollercoaster if you are not on the right level .
No 10 : Par 4 – Mens : 323 m . Ladies : 279 m
The tenth is a dog leg to the right . Look for the middle of the fairway with your drive off the tee . Bunkers and trees protect the right hand side . Remember to take an extra club for the hill . Be sure to check the wind direction as the highest green on the course is very exposed with a bunker front left and gullies on the right .
