Hole By Hole

Description:

Named after a depression in the middle of the fairway, 240 yards from the tee, to where the great lady player, Cecil Leitch, was reputed to drive regularly. The fairway looks intimidating, with thick heather and gorse up the left, and rough sandy ground up the right. Hitting the fairway is important to have a good chance of making the green; a line up the left is a bonus. The second shot is over a low plateau that hides the pin, skirting a sand hill on the right, before gathering down to a blind saucer-shaped green.

Description:

A short par 4 from an elevated tee, dog-legging right. There is plenty of space up the left but a brave line up the right, over a ridge of sand, will leave a short pitch and the chance of a three. The green is in a dell with steep sides of heather, gorse and broom preventing friendly bounces, and pot bunkers guarding left and right.

Description:

Dog-leg left. The drive is through a saddle between two sand hills, from where the fairway curves down and left, before it rises again to a plateau green on the side of a hill. The correct line from the tee is up the left, skirting some horrible rough sandy ground, with the reward of a short pitch into the face of a sloping green. The safer line up the right from the tee, risks a longer iron from an uneven lie, and brings into play the small bunker to the right of the green. A safe shot to the back of the green has to be followed by a tricky down hill putt.
