Club Overview

Signature Holes

Hole #15 - 212 yards par 3

Regardless of the hole position tee shots should be aimed on the bunker back left and allow the slope to feed the ball into the centre of the green. The trees will often block out the wind from the left so take plenty of club and remember don’t chase the sucker right hole.
