Tee right outside club house where you are under the watchful eye of all the experts sitting in the bar. Out of bounds will catch a hook and bunkers to trap a slice, so play for the left of the fairway and then you will have an easy pitch to the green.
1st Redhill -
A long double dog leg, with out of bounds on the left. Two shots straight down the fairway will leave a third to an elevated green set in the hillside. Use the contours for your shot to the green, with one extra club and play in from the right.
3rd Racecourse -
A hole that lives up to its name with a long narrow green. An accurate iron shot needed here. Look for the position of the pin since there is as much as five clubs difference between the front and the back of the green.
2nd The Needle -
4th Fawley View -
A driver down the fairway but a slice will find the fairway bunker. Play the shot to the green slightly left, too far right and the ball will run away into the greenside bunkers.
5th Pikes Hill -
Tiger line is over the bunker, favouring the right hand side of the fairway at this
slight left hand dog leg hole. This will leave a mid-
6th Cadnam Road -
A large green with trees guarding the right hand side and three bunkers to catch the pull. A longer hole than it looks so take an extra club off the tee.
8th Foldgate -
A long par 3 slightly downhill. Keep your tee shot to the left to avoid the bunkers on the right and allow the contour of the fairway to run the ball onto the green. A ditch runs parallel to the fairway on the right.
7th Fox Hill -
This hole is uphill all the way. The tee is situated amongst the trees on the edge of the forest. Ditches protect both sides of the fairway to halfway then bushes all the way to the green.
9th Busketts Way 455 yards Par 5
No heroics here, play it as a Par 5. Two shots up the fairway will leave you with a pitch shot over a water hazard to a double tiered green. Don't be too long with your pitch shot to the green otherwise you will be amongst the trees.
11th Old Clubhouse -
A short hole where the old Clubhouse used to stand. It's all downhill but a hazard to the left. Don’t go through the green as you will end up in the forest, so play short for safety.
10th Tween Bridges -
Long dog leg right. Drive over the water hazard noting out of bounds on the right. Play a second into the mouth of the dog leg to leave you a pitch into the green. Beware of bunker to the right of the green.
12th Rushpole -
Make sure you clear the hazard with your tee shot but beware of out of bounds to the right and the fairway bunkers. You should be left with only a short pitch shot to the green.
15th Red Bridge -
For the long hitter, a big drive over the water hazard will leave only a little run into the green, but for others, there is a large hazard short of the fairway and bunkers to the left and right of the green. A too long second shot will take you through to the bushes.
13th Dunces Arch -
A short hole where you must not hook your tee shot otherwise your ball will be swallowed up by the bushes, just be bold and hit it directly at the tiered green. Two bunkers protect the right side of the green.
14th Lone Birch -
This one plays longer than it looks. A long tee shot is required but it must be straight as bunkers protect the front and right side of the green. A pull or a slice may put you in the trees.
16th Frankie Dello -
The last of the par 3's. Take an extra club to carry the bunker guarding the front of the green but be aware of the bunkers at both sides of the green. The contoured green calls for some concentration when putting.
18th Swann Song -
17th Kismet -
From the raised tee area drive straight down the middle or slightly right. Second shot must carry the cross bunkers, play it to the left and this will leave a pitch to the large green which is guarded by bunkers both left and right.
Good finishing hole. An uphill drive to the right hand side of the fairway will leave a pitch to the green. Beware of the bunker to the right of the green.
