Required: Accuracy. Courage.
With out of bounds on one side and the clubhouse on the other, 'Course' is a challenging opening hole.
A sharp dog leg to the right demands a well positioned drive, leaving a second shot to a green protected by a swale and out of bounds.

6th hole - 'New'
Did you know: 'New' was built in 1965, using turf taken from a bowling green situated in front of the clubhouse - and the area where the bowling green once stood is now a car park.
Today, 'New' is a tricky par 3 surrounded by deep bunkers.
