Hole By Hole

Description:

Requires a medium to long iron to a smallish plateau green, well trapped with twin bunkers to both left and right.

Description:

The drive carries a sandy, heathery waste, fringed with gorse and formerly known as The Duffer's Bunker, that looks more fearsome than it actually is. Beyond it, a grassy plateau to the left offers a good view of the distant green, which can be reached with the help of a following wind. A drive up the right may catch a friendly downward slope, but will leave a tighter second to the sunken green, tucked slightly to the right-hand side. A solitary bunker guards the front left.

Description:

Named after the late Viscount Whitelaw, who enjoyed many years, golf at Silloth, this good-length par 4 from the new elevated tee to a re-shaped fairway requires a good drive to avoid fairway bunkers to the right and heather and gorse to the left. The long narrow green is guarded by bunkers on either side, and is overlooked by a critical audience safely ensconced in the Nineteenth Hole.
