Occupying a compact 120-acre property on the edge of a large woodland area, the tree-lined fairways extend to almost 6,400 yards from the back tees, playing to a par of 72, with holes arranged as two returning nines.
Water comes into play a couple of times on both the outward half and inward half: there are lakes to the right of both the par four 3rd and par four 17th, while par three holes at the 8th and 11th are routed round two sides of the same pond.
Other holes of note include the very narrow, slightly left doglegging par four 5th (rated stroke index 1); the right bending par five 13th (with a couple of bunkers in front of the green); and the par five 18th which also veers right and narrows towards the home green.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
