Hole 1 - 334 Yards - Par 4 - SI 9/10
A challenging Par 4 to begin with with the green sitting on a hill in the distance. A small river runs across the bottom of the fairway here before you approach the hill to the green and many a great tee-shot has landed in it.

Hole 2 - 163 Yards - Par 3 - SI 17/18
A straightforward Par '3' that can leave you wondering why you didn't make par. Mistakes will be punished by the pond between you and the green.

Hole 3 - 364 Yards - Par 4 - SI 3/4
Another straighforward Par 4 with a bunker at the top of the fairway you are driving to. Either 'go for it' to beat the bunker and give you a easy approach shot or drop it short for a more challenging blind approach.

Hole 4 - 310 Yards - Par 4 - SI 7/8
A difficult green to hit here which is protected by trees, bushes and that river running across the fairway again. Aim for the white stone marker straight ahead and if you get your drive anywhere near it, you should have a clear view to pitch onto the green.

Hole 5 - 390 Yards - Par 4 - SI 13/14
A long straight drive down this Par 4 will benefit you immensely if you get a good bounce from the hill leading down to the green. If good enough you could land your tee-shot on the green in 1 but with the recent two new bunkers that have been installed on the front of the green, this technique has now become more difficult!

Hole 6 - 348 Yards - Par 4 - SI 1/2
A long straight drive up to the hill facing you in front will leave you a relatively straightforward approach shot to the green. Careful not to over hit you second shot though or you will leave things quite difficult.

Hole 7 - 189 Yards - Par 3 - SI 5/6
A nice Par 3 up a steep hill. Aim to the right of the green and the slope of the green should pull your shot into it. Don't go too left of the green or else you could face a very difficult second shot.

Hole 8 - 300 Yards - Par 4 - SI 15/16
The best hole on the course claimed by many, mainly because of the view you get from it. Take in the beautiful scenery from the top of the hill before you drive your tee-shot down it and as close to the green as you can. New bunkers at the back of the green will punish wayward approaches onto the green.

Hole 9 - 145 Yards - Par 3 - SI 11/12
Many a round has been won and lost on this tight Par 3 to finish. A small green to aim for and the slope of the green runs back towards the pond. With an addition of a new bunker on the right of this green it will become even more challenging to finish with a par on it.
