The 2nd Hole
The biggest change to the 3 holes reconstructed this winter. The 2nd has had a new pond built in place of an old cross bunker at the front of the green. The bunker to the right of the hole has been lifted and reshaped so it is visable from the fairway and we have extended the green out to the right and rear of the original green to add interest and give us further pin positions. The sleeper wall has been installed to add interest around the pond and a fountain to aerate the water.
New 4th Hole
The 4th has had 2 new bunkers installed with a rubber crumb base as well as a further 100 metres of additional drainage around the green surround. The Bunkers have been raised and completely reshaped to be able to see them from further down the fairway. The green surrounds have had many 100's of tonnes tipped and shaped to add definition to the hole.
New 5th Hole
New 5th Hole
5th Hole Prior to opening on Good Friday. 3 new bunkers with a rubber crumb base, over 400metres of drainage added and a green extension
New Banking to ease maintenance and health and safety concerns as well as creating added interest and a fairer result for the golfer who misses the green slightly.
