The Course
Hole One (1)
A generous fairway welcomes your first shot of the day, keep your drive up on the right side of the fairway and let it feed down into the centre. Your second shot, although with a mid-iron, is a visually deceptive one, it appears shorter than it actually plays. It takes a brave player to land the ball on the back shelf of the green. Even when you are on the green it is not a guaranteed two-putt.
Hole Two (2)
An excellent par 3 easing you into your round nicely. Requiring a tee shot to a green surrounded by bunkers although the green is a generous width. Favour the short side of the green as trouble lurks long.
Hole Three (3)
This hole provides you with an opportunity to get one back on the course as a short par 5. However accuracy is at a premium with a fairway bunker to the right. Out of Bounds runs up the left side of the hole and trees will catch you out on the right. Once on the fairway you will be able to lay up to your perfect wedge distance or for the longer hitters an opportunity to go for the green in two. Once on the green this difficult green makes for tough test to take full advantage of your birdy chance.
Hole Four (4)
A long straight drive up the right side of the fairway will leave you in perfect position to attack this small green. Beware though that anything short will be eaten up by the green side bunker and par from there would be a good score.
Hole Five (5)
Hopefully you are now prepared to tackle the tricky 5th tee shot!! A classic risk/reward shot, and one, which if taken on must be committed to. The longer hitter, if they so choose, can hit the tee shot across the trees leaving a short pitch onto into the green, but for the player who has to take the longer route a carefully placed tee shot is required to avoid the trees on the left and the out of bounds on the right. This leaves a second shot of around 200 yards, which has to be threaded between the trees to leave a simple pitch up to the green.
Hole Six (6)
The 6th hole requires an accurate tee shot up the left side which will bounce round to the right. The bigger hitters must be aware of the fairway bunker in the middle of the fairway, and if found will prevent you from hitting this reachable par 5 in two. The second shot must be aimed up the left side as anything right will leave you in heavy rough. The green is also guarded by numerous bunkers.
Hole Seven (7)
This picturesque par 3 looks out over the Surrey hills but don’t let that take your mind away from your game, as this is a very long and difficult hole that requires a solidly struck long iron or wood but accuracy is vital if you are to find the putting surface. Too long however is where the trouble lies with out-of-bounds lurking!
Hole Eight (8)
A straight forward hole and a chance to relax after recent holes. Good straight hitting and a well judged pitch should leave you with a good birdie chance. Just remeber to land the pitch however a little short of the hole as the green does tend to run from front to back!
Hole Nine (9)
This is a good par 5 up the hill with out of bounds all up the left of this hole. Bunkers guard the right side and a bail out tee shot can punish the weak. The line for the second shot is just to the left of the right hand fairway bunker on the hill. This will leave you a simple pitch to a relatively flat green
Hole Ten (10)
The 10th hole will look pretty simple on the tee but be aware of the fairway trap and heavy rough on the left side as this gathers up many golf balls, The second shot is slightly downhill so be careful with your club selection. This green has many undulations and a two putt will be a job well done!!
Hole Eleven (11)
The 11th hole is a good par 5 and for the long hitters the line is over the trees on the right side, this will allow you to reach in two but be aware of the water that lurks to the right of the green, a sloppy second shot can so easily find a watery grave!!
Hole Twelve (12)
The 12th hole is not as tranquil as it appears, although set in a quiet part of the course, the pond is there to collect the errant tee shot and not only for beauty. Beware though, an over safe shot played too far to the right from the tee will be caught by one of the bunkers. Now you have a really frightening shot out with the the green running away from you and water waiting to gather your ball. Par is a good score on this hole!!
Hole Thirteen (13)
Although the 13th hole is very short it has the most severe slopes of any green on the course so after the positional tee shot, you must find the same level as the flag on your second shot or a dreaded 3 putt is all too easy.
Hole Fourteen (14)
Another fantastic-looking golf hole, this par 3 is straight downhill and club selection is vital as a too-long tee shot will leave a tricky pitch back
Hole Fifteen (15)
This requires a good straight tee shot that will automatically bounce to the left, the bunker is also well placed and may stop the longer hitter in his tracks. The second shot is slightly round to the right and very much uphill. For the average golfer this is a three shot par 5 onto a green that is heavily guarded with bunkers waiting to eat up those loose third shots!!
Hole Sixteen (16)
The 16th can be played in two ways, the long and brave take the tee shot over the crest of the hill and leave themselves a tricky downhill lie for their second shot. But the majority will leave a blind second shot, hitting over the hill and down towards the green so a well picked out line is needed to ensure that your ball does not run into any trouble.
Hole Seventeen (17)
Another Par 3, the 17th hole is one of the best holes on the course. Tall trees flank the hole, which creates a natural theatre, but it makes club selection difficult because of the swirling wind. Selecting the right club is crucial because this small green has out-of-bounds on the left and a water hazard on the right, get out of there with a par and most players would be proud.
Hole Eighteen (18)
The 18th is a testing par 4 hitting up towards the church tower. A good solid tee shot just left of the bunkers will leave you a mid to short iron into a green that is weel protected. A lack of concentration with the second shot can also end up wet if you lose the ball to the right of the green.
