Par 5, Yards 478, Stroke Index 8
Hole Description

“Play slightly left of the marker post off the tee, as this will give the best view for the second shot. The approach is guarded by a fairway and two greenside bunkers, requiring a decision to either go for the green, or lay up short and pitch or chip on. The long green generally slopes from back to front”.

Pro's Tip

Big hitters can reach the green in 2 but it requires a drive down the left-hand side to avoid being blocked out by the trees. The fairway bunker is well positioned to catch a careless second shot and the long green makes judging the distance on your approach tricky.”

  • About the Course

    Sand Moor is a Moorland-Heathland course and was designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie in 1926 - who sat on the very first Greens Committee at the club - and famously went on to design Augusta National.

    Changes to the course took place in the late 1960's with advice from Henry Cotton and it is currently being updated by Ken Moodie, to help the course stay abreast of modern day equipment whilst remaining loyal to the original concept. The Sand Moor Golf Course is an 18 hole Championship course, measuring 6,360 yards, consisting of three Par 5's, eleven Par 4's and four Par 3 holes.
