This can be a tough opening hole, made more difficult if the prevailing south westerly wind is blowing. The second shot to a hidden green often needs a wood or long iron aimed slightly left of the target.

Drive to the left of the fairway to avoid the out of bounds on the right. A straightforward second shot, needing to avoid the bunkers front right and left.

Turning back towards the clubhouse, beware of the fairway bunker on the right that is not visible from the tee. The long two-tier green is guarded by gorse and bunkers right and left.

A straight par four from a slightly raised tee but beware of the cavernous bunker short left of the green.

A challenging drive up the hill, good placement is required for dog-leg right approach to the green. Only the bravest try cutting the corner, flirting with trees and out of bounds

This first par three is slightly up hill and demands a well struck shot. Anything falling off to the right will require a delicate chip to rescue a par

There is plenty of room for the drive out to the right of the gorse and the marker post. Long hitters can reach the green with their second shot providing they avoid the bunkers front and left and the smaller one hidden back right.

A deceptive uphill par three with an elevated two-tier green, well guarded by bunkers left and right

The tee is set at the highest point of the course. Ideally a line just inside left of the marker post. Again, depending on wind conditions, the flat green can be reached in two. Anything long will require a delicate touch to get down in a chip and putt

A straightforward short par 3 with the green sloping from back to front, guarded by the solitary bunker front right.

Overlooking the estuary, the ideal drive needs to be just left of the marker post, as the hole dog-legs to the left. Beware of the hidden bunker front left of the green and don’t be long with your second shot.

This cracking hole runs parallel with the 3rd then dog legs up to the right. Avoid the hidden bunker to the left of the fairway. An uphill second shot demands accuracy, for there are particular dangers for anything hit left.

Following the blind tee shot over the marker post, this is a straight par five to a two-tier green guarded on the right by two bunkers. Left or long of this green will leave a testing up and down.

A tough driving hole, particularly into the prevailing wind, with gorse on the left and out of bounds to the right. A straight forward green providing you miss the bunkers to the right.

A good looking par four, the first of an outstanding quartet of closing holes. A drive onto the fairway leaves a straightforward second to a well protected undulating two-tier green

This is a picture postcard par three. The elevated tee looks down on the Bay and the bowl like, well bunkered, undulating putting surface. A very difficult hole when the flag is on the small shelf at the back of the green

A classic uphill short par four. Whilst the hole is within reach with a long straight drive there are plenty of problems left and right. A large L shaped, three tiered green will often provide a three putt opportunity.

This par five is a quality links finishing hole. An accurate tee shot is called for as the fairway narrows at the driving distance. The large green beside the clubhouse can be reached in two but there are plenty of problems on either side of the fairway as well as two fairway bunkers some twenty yards short of the target
