Hole 1, 358 yards, par 4

A gentle 358-yard par 4 to ease you in to your round. A drive finding the fairway will leave you with a shot to the green which is slightly elevated to the rear. Distance control with your approach is important if the pin is located behind the right-hand greenside bunker! 12 |

Hole 2, 351 yards, par 4

The preferred angle to approach this green is middle right in the fairway. The green is upward sloping and tiered to the rear. If attacking a pin position at the back, be careful.

Hole 3, 376 yards, par 4

A fairway sloping from right to left requires an accurate tee shot to avoid the strategically positioned bunker on the left. Your approach shot requires accuracy and control as the green is surrounded by Out of Bounds on the right and a bank to the left.

Hole 4, 474 yards, par 4/5

At 474 yards this was, in earlier years, the maximum length for a par 4 (par 5 for ladies). The fairway, as you approach the hole, slopes gently left to right. With your second shot you must avoid the fairway bunker on the left. The two-tiered green can be very tricky, especially if the flag is on the top tier.

Hole 5, 324 yards, par 4

At 324 yards, this could present a reasonable birdie opportunity for all players. Keep your drive left of centre to give you the best opportunity to get into this two-tiered green. For the longer hitter use of the driver could www.maidenheadgolf.co.uk
