Course Review
Nice little 9 hole wooded course.
The tee plates were being altered when we played this course, (something
to do with the indexes being changed), so not knowing which hole was the
1st we actually played the course in this order.
5th, 6th, 7th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th.
Highlights of the course were, the 1st which gives you a good chance to start
with a birdie, it is reachable in one for the power hitters & even the average
distance golfer will be left with just a chip and run onto the green.
The 3rd hole is very short but has an elevated tee so
it is difficult to judge the distance.
The 4th an uphill par 3 over 200 yards, deserves a mention just because Rick
hit his tee shot to within 6 feet of the pin.
The 5th as mentioned below.
The 7th requires an accurate shot along a wooded fairway that could leave you
with just a short pitch onto the green to set up your birdie putt.
We played in the winter but the greens, fairways & tees
all looked well kept and some of the greens have very interesting undulations
on them.
The clubhouse staff were very friendly and so were the few members we bumped
into on our way round.
Overall we had a very pleasant day of golf, apart from getting lost on the course
that is.
Favourite Hole
Hole
5/14: Nice par 4 slight dogleg.
You can't see the green from the tee as it is downhill, but if you aim at the
tree in the fairway you will be in the perfect position for an approach shot.
Stray too far left and the overhanging trees will obstruct your approach, too
far right and that tree in the fairway will now be an obstacle. The approach
shot looks great, but be careful of club choice, remember it's downhill to the
green.
