Hole Nine
Par 4,Stroke Index 14
“Enjoy the view of Eccup reservoir and the panorama over the holes yet to be played. An accurate tee shot is required skirting the field boundary, as the fairway slopes to the left and balls will run away into the rough in dry conditions. The long green is principally guarded by a bunker and steep slope to the left side, requiring an accurate approach”.
A tricky tee shot with out of bounds on the right and a fairway that slopes off to the left means that a driver is not necessarily the best play. The green slopes right to left and running shots can be fed in from the right-hand side.
