HOLE: 10 433 yards par 4 (yellow tees) Si 1

A par 5 blind tee shot with only a zebra coloured marker post to believe in for the line makes any player think on the tee. This hole measures 478 yards (white tees) and has a slight dog-leg to the right and is surrounded by gorse, so keep your ball in sight!

HOLE: 9 470 yards par5 (yellow tees) Si 4

A par 5 measuring 476yards (white tees) with a large gorse bank and out of bounds on the right Two perfectly placed fairway bunkers and the 8th fairway to the left makes the tee shot seem a lot trickier than it is, left off the tee is safer and will also open up the gorse surrounded green for the approach.

HOLE 7: 368 yards par 4 (yellow tees) Si 6

A dog-leg par 4 measuring 376yards ( white tees ) with a large cliff face and fairway bunker on the left and large pond and long rough on the right, makes tee shot position vital in order to give a chance to hit the green in regulation. An iron is all that is needed to give good position.

HOLE 1: 265 yds par 4 ( yellow tees ) Si 12

A bunkerless short par 4 of 277 yds may sound easy, but with out of bounds on the left, a hazardous bank on the right, a long iron or fairway wood is required for this opening tee shot. Hitting the fairway is a must to leave a simple approach shot to the green leaving you with a birdie opportunity.

HOLE 2: 157 yds par 3 ( yellow tees ) Si 8

This unbelievably tough par 3 of 180 yards comes far too early in the round for most golfers, once again with out-of-bounds left and a treacherous bank with a drop of 40 feet on the right. The bunker on the left is an ideal line for this knee trembler of a tee shot. GOOD LUCK!

HOLE 5: 385 yards par 4 (yellow tees) Si 10

A par 4 dogleg left, with a gorse bank to the right and long rough on the left. This hole is 391 yards ( white tees) and with the rising fairway and a steep slope down to the green makes for an interesting approach shot. Short is always better.

HOLE 4: 114 yards par 3 (yellow tees) Si 18

Very easy to get distracted by the sea veiw as you prepare for, what looks like, a very simple par 3 of just 114 yards; miss this green at your peril.

HOLE 6: 154 yards par 3 (yellow tees) Si 14

A tricky par 3 measuring 164 yards (white tees) and surrounded by bunkers left and right with large trees at the back of the green.

Hole 3: 433 yards par 4 (yellow tees) Si 2

These first few tee shots into the prevailing wind are a real test to all and this tee shot is no exception. With out-of-bounds left and a hill in front, a flat lie is near impossible. The key to this hole is the second shot; placing it 60 yards short should leave a simple approach.

HOLE: 8 317 yards par4 (yellow tees) Si 12

The 8th hole starts off with an interesting tee shot between two large gorse covered banks, with this hole measuring 337yards ( white tees ) again positioning the drive is key. There is a lot of room left so if you have a driver in your hands look at the left side of the fairway.

HOLE: 18 376 yards par 4 (yellow tees) Si 3

One of the best closing holes in golf, this par 4 finish measures 413 yards (white tees). With out of bounds left and yes, you guessed it, gorse to the right, the fairway slopes downwards helping any accurate tee shot get that little bit closer. Play to carry the path, this will leave for a mid iron approach.

HOLE: 17 315 yards par4 (yellow tees) Si 13

This hole is a par 4 of 343 yards, (white tees) with a blind tee shot to start, hitting to a fairway surrounded by gorse and bracken, this hole has wrecked many cards. Hit it straight if you can.

HOLE: 16 432 yards par4 (yellow tees) Si 5

One of the tougher tee shots on the course, this par 4 measuring 448 yards (white tees) and up hill with out of bounds left and gorse to the right, will make any player take a provisional ball to the tee. GOOD LUCK!

HOLE: 15 388 yards par4 (yellow tees) Si 9

This hole is one of the simpler holes but measuring 416yards (white tees) with out of bounds left and rough to the right, it is not as simple as it seems. A good drive down the left side of the fairway to leave the best angle in.

HOLE: 14 254 yards par4 (yellow tees) Si 15

A short par 4 measuring 268yards, (white tees)slightly up hill with large gorse banks on the left and the right. A mid iron is all that is required to put you in position.

HOLE:13 169 yards par 3 (yellow tees) Si 17

A short par 3 measuring 177yards (white tees) with a green and approach surrounded with thick gorse and green side bunkers to the left and right makes this tee shot a real challenge.

HOLE: 12 442 yards par 4 (yellow tees) Si 7

A reasonable size par 5 measuring 517yards (white tees) with out of bounds left and long rough right off the tee so finding the fairway is your only chance of getting up in two.

HOLE 11: 220 yards par 3 (yellow tees) Si 11

A long par 3 of 226 yards (white tees) says it all! (Hit what you can.)
