Playing the tee shot as a slight dog-leg right will avoid the trees and gorse. A high carry of 170 yards if you go straight. Still a good 2nd required to gain your Par.

You’ve played this one before so you know what to expect.

We have a old wooden pavillion clubhouse with a bar and function room, mens and ladies changing rooms. We do have social events at the clubhouse including a Presentation night and Summer disco.
We play on a nine hole inland links type course with 9 casual mens tees, 18 competition mens tees and 9 ladies competition tees. Although we have no bunkers or water on the course we do have very small greens, lots of out of bounds and even more gorse, which many shots are played over!
The competition tees are par 68 with a sss 66.
