THE GOLF COURSE

Golf Course that will change the way you ever played golf.

Front 9 Holes

Hole 1:

The first hole isn’t the longest par four on the golf course but is a quite demanding tee shot with trees on the left and water on the right a smart play would be to take a long iron or hybrid down the left side as it will feed down to the right leaving you with a short iron or wedge in to a green protected by three bunkers.

Hole 2:

The second hole is a dogleg right par five the tee shot is not as demanding but positioning yourself in the fairway is key if you want to take the small pond and trees as well as two bunkers protecting the green to reach the green in two a good play would be to lay up short of the water to leave yourself a short club to attack the green.

Hole 3:

This is a straight away par 4 with two fairway bunkers on either side of the fairway two options are available here you can layup short of the bunkers or take them on leaving a short club in too a green with a pond protecting the front left side of the green and two bunkers on either side of the green.

Hole 4:

This is our longest par 5 it is straight forward; the tee shot is not so demanding but is key to keep on the fairway as the rough to the right is thick and, on the left, there is a fairway bunker. The golf course green is protected by two bunkers on either side. This is most definitely a three shot par 5.

Hole 5:

The signature hole at Southdowns CC golf course a short but really tough par three. A small green protected by a water hazard all along the right and front of the green with thick rough to the left of the green.

Hole 6:

This is fairly easier par 4 playing at a distance of 305 meters from the club tees there are many options off the tee as this hole allows for an aggressive type of play as there is not much trouble to avoid off the tee but there is out of bounce on the left hand said as well as three willow trees on the left side. The green is also like many protected with two bunkers on either side.

Hole 7:

The start of what is a tough finish to the front 9 of the golf course. This is a dogleg right par 4 the tee shot is a very demanding as you need to cross a river with trees all along the righthand side and out of bounce to the fair left.

Position yourself well to cross it again when attacking the green which is protect by two bunkers a good play is a long iron off the box then leaving yourself with a short to mid iron in to the green which is sloping from back to front.

Hole 8:

The stroke 1 not only the longest par 4 playing at 415 meters but one of the most demanding tee shots as there is a hazard all along the left-hand side as well as trees all along the right-hand side of the fairway. A good shot shape off this tee box is a fade as the hole is a dogleg left. There is also a pond protecting the front right of the green.

Hole 9:

A dogleg left par 4 playing 335 par four a draw shot is key to missing the trees on the right and left of the fairway there is a pond 240m from the tee box protecting the right-hand side of the fairway. The green is protected by three bunkers on in front and two at the back of the green.

Back 9 Holes

Hole 10:

The tenth hole is the first of three par 3s on the back 9 is it the shortest par three on the golf course playing at 127m. This golf course green slopes from back to front. Things to avoid are the water hazard between the tee box and green the bunker on the left of the green and out of bounce on the right- hand side.

Hole 11:

This is a short par four which is harder than it looks. There is a lot of trouble off the tee as there is out of bounce on the right and tree hazard all along the left. The green as a big slop in the middle of it as well as two pot bunkers protecting the front of the green. Your go to club would be ideal off the tee.

Hole 12:

Stroke 18 the shortest par 4 playing 280m dogleg left. A 165 shot is needed off the tee to avoid the stream running across the fairway. There is a hazard to the left and out of bounce on the right the long hitters can take the green on but it’s a risk and reward situation there are two bunkers buckers and a tree hazard on the right protecting the green.

Hole 13:

A dogleg left par 5 with a lot of trouble, to start with you need to avoid the two fairway bunkers on the right. Then avoid the water which is 100m short of the green and then try avoid the two bunkers guarding the green.

Hole 14:

This is a par 3 playing 170m with a stroke rating of 6 it is the toughest par 3 on the course as it has one of the smallest greens on the course and it as three bunkers protecting it. Making three feels like a birdie.

Hole 15:

The 15th is one of south downs very well set up par 4 as it demands a lot from the player. You need to avoid the fairway bunker as well as the water hazard on the left the green is very well protected as well with two bunkers on the right-hand side and a water hazard protecting the left side of the green.

Hole 16:

This is a straight forward par 5 which is easy to score on as it is the shortest par five. A good tee shot is required to score well the green is very attackable as there is only one bunker protecting it.

Hole 17:

The last par 3 on the golf course it plays a bit of dogleg left playing 164m. It is also a small target to hit with two buckers guarding it. A draw is the best shot shape for this hole off the tee box.

Hole 18:

The finishing hole at Southdowns golf course it’s a demanding last tee shot with out of bounce on the right and a long line of trees on the left there is a bunker at 240m on the right-side.
