Holes 1-6

Gingling Gate:  

Hole one

Hole 1 is a short par 4 to start, but don’t be fooled by the yardage. There is out of bounds on the right hand side which also runs tight around the back of the green. Along with trees on the left and two well placed fairway bunkers it makes it a tough tee shot.

 

Avoid all of this and you are faced with a mid to short iron shot into a well guarded green that slopes from right to left with a shelf that runs straight through the middle of the green from front to back.

Three Horseshoes: 

Hole two

Hole 2 plays down hill and down the prevailing wind so often plays shorter than the yardage suggests. Despite this the hole easily plays its' Stroke Index 8 from the white tee. 

The boundary of the course, and Out of Bounds, runs the length of the hole down the right side. There is a water hazard in the form of a ditch across the fairway at approx 150 yards, which proves to be the driving length for many golfers. The same ditch turns 90 degrees and continues to run the length of the hole to the green down the right side of the fairway.

The fairway can be fast running and the green is a tricky and undulating surface which is firm and slopes front to back making distance control difficult with approach shots.

Mousetrap: 

Hole three

Hole 3 is a short par 3 that can play very difficult if you don’t pay attention to the wind. The hole is well guarded by three bunkers and a small run-off area back left.


The green itself slopes left to right and back to front with a small shelf three quarters up the green.


Take three and run!

Tunnel:

Hole four

Hole 4 is a mid length par 4 with trees right and left with out of bounds on the right. There is also heavy rough down the right hand side. The fairway has two well placed bunkers one right and one left. 

A good tee shot will leave a long to mid iron into a generous green that has a ditch running across the front and a big bunker on the right. 

The green itself slopes left to right and back to front.

Chimneys:

Hole five

Hole 5 is a long par 4 with trees right and left with out of bounds on the right. This is a tight driving hole with a fairway that slopes left to right. 

There are also two hedgerows in the semi rough 150 yards from the green so a good tee shot is vital if you want a good view of the green. 

The green itself is protected by two well placed bunkers. The left bunker is long and narrow whilst the deep pot bunker on the right will require a good shot to stand any chance of getting up and down. The putting surface slopes front to back which makes club selection tricky.

Dixielanders:

Hole six

Hole 6 is a mid length par 3 which plays slightly uphill usually into the prevailing wind. It is well guarded by bunkers left and right with a narrow entrance to the green.

The green slopes back to front with a small shelf one quarter of the way up the green. Club selection is vital and par is allways a good score.
