Hole 1

The opening hole to this lovely heath land course is one of its toughest. Long and straight with bunkers strategically placed. The existing drive bunker is now too short for the longer hitters so an additional bunker has been added on the right at approx. 290 yards from the medal tee. Tree and gorse plantings were added in Winter 2006, to the to the right of the approach. The opening tee shot should ideally be aimed at the Northampton lift tower that can be seen on the horizon.

Hole 2

This is one of only 2 par fives on the course. A new back tee has been added to increase the length of the hole to 554 yards whilst also bringing the fairway cut area back nearer to the tee The angle of the new tee also creates a more demanding tee shot playing more to the right and bringing the copse more into play. This par 5 has gorse both sides of the fairway, when in blossom it is a beautiful sight but with its sharp thorns is something to be avoided. The hole has only two bunkers to protect it. The gorse and trees right and left of this fairway, however, will test the straight hitting of any player.

Hole 3

The first par 3, is close to the bridle path that runs through the course. Please give way to horses being exercised and walkers as they pass through the course. The hole is protected on both sides by bunkers and any ball landing short will usually bounce right towards the two deep right hand bunkers which, although they stop the ball disappearing into the deep rough, are still best avoided.
