1st & 10th
The Oaks
Tough opening hole, this longish par 3 is protected by a tall oak on the right side of the green and a bunker that cuts in to the shape of the green on the left side. A number of oak trees down the left side will catch any shot that strays left.
2nd & 11th
The Burn
This par 5 is fairly straight but with the tee box tucked in to the right with a spinney of conifers ahead, gives the impression a fade is required off the tee. The approach to the green is fraught with danger; firstly a ditch “The Burn” runs across 20yards before the green. The right side fringe falls away from the green and the left side of the green is protected by two bunkers.
3rd & 12th
McAuley’s Saucer
Straight forward par 4. Clear the ditch 45 yards in front of the tee with a straight shot to avoid the trees on either side of the narrow fairway. Your approach shot needs to be pin point accurate as this raised dome like green “McAuley’s Saucer” will see anything less than accurate fall off all sides. Also two bunkers left and right will catch your ball if you come up short.
4th & 13th
Bowles Boulevard
Par 4 tree lined on both sides to the “The Burn” which is 50 yards from the green, it then opens up to an unprotected green. This hole is named after a green keeper, Arthur Bowles who kept the old course before Allard Way was built which altered the course to the layout we have today.
5th & 14th
The River
This interesting par 5 is so called as the river Sowe runs along the right side all the way to about 40 yards before the green where the Sowe turns to cross the fairway. The “River” Sowe forms the shape of this “S” shaped tricky par 5. No bunkers to protect this raised generous sized green.

6th & 15th
View Field
Named after the View Field Golf society from a GEC factory in Scotland who regularly visited here in the past
Par 4 requiring a slight fade off the tee, too much fade (slice) will have the two fairway bunkers catch your ball or worse still the trees. The long and straight shot is in danger of finding the pond to the left of the fairway. The green has bunkers front right and one to the left with a narrow gap between the two.
7th & 16th
Swans Delight
This seemingly straight forward Par 4 needs an accurate tee shot, with trees on either side forming a narrow passage over a pond 70 to 80 yards in front of the tee. If you manage a good tee shot you can go for the green with the river Sowe running diagonally in front at about 40 to 50 yards out. The false front to the green can catch you out with the other three sides falling away sharply also.
8th & 17th
The Bridges
Called the “The Bridges” as this hole crosses the river Sowe twice. The river intimidates the tee shot, although this is our most generous fairway. If you have hit a good tee shot, you may be tempted to go for the green which sits beyond the river crossing the fairway. The green, again is raised and has a bunker cut into the left side.
9th & 18th
The Road Hole
Named when the hole was formed following the building of Allard Way in the early 1980’s. It’s a tricky Par 3 with trees to be avoided and a green that sits up facing you as it slopes down back to front. With bunkers left, right and another short of the green, accuracy is paramount.
