Pines

The front nine, with its wide fairways and gentle slopes, offers you the opportunity to score well. The back nine, with its tree-lined fairways, requires thought and accuracy to maintain a good score.

Signature Hole – Pines 18th

A long sweeping par 5 that doglegs to the left–will you risk a long shot over the pine trees?

A wide fairway which slopes left to right as you approach the green. An approach from the left of the fairway should keep you away from the greenside bunker to the right.

A straightforward downhill par three, dropping 30 feet from tee to green. Watch out for the shallow grass gully at the front of the green and the tricky bunker at the back.

A tricky par four. The ditch at 261yards (from the white) and the bunkers before this, means that placement off the tee is essential. Approach shots hit to the right should run down.

Although not lengthy this is not an easy par four. The hole rises 24 feet over its length. Either lay-up before the trees for a safe chip shot or go for it with a wood but beware of the three lakes to the right.

A picturesque downhill par three dropping 38 feet from tee to green. With the position of the lake the safe shot is left of the pin. However too long and the bunker at the back is waiting.

A fairly wide par five but beware of out of bounds down the right hand side of the hole. Watch out for the ditch at about 200 yards (from the yellow marker). The green is well protected by bunkers.

A pleasant wide fairway. Hugging the right of the fairway will open up the green for your approach shot.

Keep your drive down the left side and the ball will naturally release towards the centre of the fairway. Beware of the two pot bunkers to the right of the green and the one at the back.

Keep your drive to the right of the fairway and away from the lakes. The approach shot needs to take account of the pin position for the day – putting can be awkward with three levels of green.

A long par 4 with out of bound to the left. However, left of centre on the fairway makes for an easier approach shot.

Played into the prevailing wind. Two very good shots are required to reach the green in two. Be aware of out of bounds to the left and the large sand trap guarding the front of the green.

An interesting par 5 with out of bounds along the left. Hugging the right of the fairway with your second shot will open up the green for your approach shot.

This is a good par 3 to take on the pin position. Be aware if the pin is to the right hand side fo the green as there are three pot bunkers ready to catch you out.

With no chance of cutting the dogleg, two good shots are needed to take you to the turn 418 yds from the white tee. Leaving a shot of between 100-140 yds to the green.

A short par 4 with a widening fairway, should give you confidence off the tee. Although a good size green, it is guarded by two bunkers in front, and any approach shot too long could well end up out of bounds.

Although one of our shortest par 3s, there is no room for any wayward tee shots. This hole is guarded down both sides by large pine trees and is a great test of accuracy.

A wide welcoming fairway will build confidence from the tee. As the fairway narrows towards the green the approach shot is paramount. Anything wayward will be punished by OB to the right and trees and pond to the left.

This par 5 requires two very good shots to get close to the green. Keeping your drive to the right should help your second shot. The percentage play is to lay-up short of the green to allow you a nice chip shot into a very well protected green.
