4th Hole – “Mountbarrow”

The first par five is daunting from the men’s competition tee, with the out of bounds looming on the front right, and an avenue of trees to negotiate with the drive. A good drive is rewarded with a wide fairway offering a downhill run. Big hitters can reach the green in two, but only with the right conditions. Again, once on the green, the line tests the most proficient putter.

“This par 5 is a three shot hole for most, but is still a great birdie chance. A drive up and over the hill will leave an iron shot that will feed all the way down into the valley before the green. If attempting the green with your second shot, left of the green is a safe bail out shot as Willington wood on the right poses the threat of a potential lost ball.”
