Signature Holes

Hole #6 - 421 yards par 4

The first occasion you play at Hoylake you could be forgiven for wondering where to drive, as you are faced with an out of biounds hedge in fron of you, but more pertubing is the fact it is some 190n yards away. So - breathe in, get your driver out and go for it.

Hole #14 - 552 yards par 5

The 14th is the start of Hoylakes much admired stretch of finishing holes. Beware of Farrar's Folly, a grassy hollow at the fron right of the green.
