An
opening par 3 that takes some thinking about.
A daunting tee shot with high trees
lining the fairway. Your tee shot must be straight to stay out of
trouble.

To
follow the tough start the 2nd is a long par 4 that takes two good
strikes.
A slight dog leg to the right, the tree
and bunker will catch out the longer hitters. |

Running
along the bank of the River Mersey the 3rd hole requires length and
accuracy to reach in regulation.
A hook is no shot to play down this hole.
The shot to the green plays longer than
it looks with the 10m high bank in front. |

To
complete the difficult opening is this tricky par 3.
OB all up the left and a ditch on the
left. There is no obvious bail out area!
Straight or bust! |

The first hole over the motorway provides the first opportunity to relax.
A open area for a relaxed drive, but
don't be tempted with that driver.
Watch out for the out of bounds left on
the shot to the green! |

If
you don't like bunkers, look away now!
Bunker short, left, right and trees long
guard this short par 3. |

Another
hole to worry the hookers. Keep your drive straight up the left of
the fairway and as long as possible.
The shot to the green takes some bottle
with OB all up the left - many bail out on the right, will you? |

STROKE
1!
Take the biggest club you have on the 75
yard walk back to the tee.
If your drive is good you can see the
green with your second the next question is can you reach?
Take into account the trees and deep
rough on the left and rough on the right - go'on go for it! |

If
you have just birdied the 8th this should be easy!
A straight par 5 that is reachable in two
for the bigger hitters.
But, OB on the left and two ponds left
and right of the fairway can make this a card wrecking hole! |

TRADITIONAL IRONS
ONLY!
The blind drive with an iron is
tricky, but you should aim middle left of the fairway, too far right and
you're in trouble.
Another iron to the green watching the
OB right of the green. |

Not
for the faint hearted!
A big club to a split level green with
trouble left and right.
The tee shot is narrow and the only shot
is straight! |

The
longest hole on the course needs three accurate shots to the green.
The fairway slopes right on the drive so
aim up the left.
Watch for the bunkers on your second
shot.
The bigger hitters need a draw to get
there in two. |

Watch
for the trees right of fairway as the tee pushes you this way.
Suits a gentle draw if you have
one!
Two Deep Bunkers guard a short shot to
the green. |

It's
not stroke 2 for nothing!
A big drive will leave you with a medium
iron to the green.
But water near right - no chance long and
a bunker and trees left may make you think of one putting! |

Get
that drive up fast because hitting that tree will probably cost you a shot!
If you can get to the top of the hill
from the drive you'll have a big advantage with your shot over the next
tree to the green. |

If
you can hit a draw then you can take on the corner with a driver.
If not you can hit to the corner leaving
a short iron to the green.
Don't be long - there's no way back! |

Decisions,
Decisions!
The ditch is a 190 yard carry!
Yes you can get lucky and run through it
but not often!
The best tee shot is up the left of the fairway
to
open up the green. |

Ah,
almost there, a simple shot to a unguarded green - but is your brain in the
clubhouse?
You'll need to keep concentration when
hitting to the narrow green. |
