Holes
Hole 1  

 

The Road

On the right hand side, out of bounds stretches from the tee to the green. A drive short of the cross bunker leaves a short iron onto a raised green with a long bunker on left.

 
 

 

The Burn

Bunkers on the left and right of the fairway are placed to catch the wayward drive. The fairway then dips and rises towards a well bunkered green.

Chalkley Woods

A good drive out of the trees to the centre or left of the fairway places the ball in an ideal position. A second shot short of the cross bunker, 35 yards short of the green, will leave an easy shot into the green. But, beware of the out of bounds over the back.

Copse Corner

Although a short hole, it is well bunkered around the green. It has out of bounds on the right, a watery copse to carry, and trees on the left.

The Ridges

The ideal drive will take you between two ponds, and to the left of the bunker on the right hand side of the fairway. This opens up the green, with the possible exception of a single oak on the right hand side, coming into play.

Sandy Way

A tee shot over a valley, with water and trees on the right hand side and trees to the left. Too short and you'll catch one of the three bunkers. Too long and you're in the woods!

 

 
 
 

Old Oak

Trees line the right and left hand side of the fairway. Ideally the drive needs to be on the middle / right, as the fairway has a slight 'dog leg' left. The second shot placed short of, or through the two bunkers on either side of the fairway leaves an ideal approach to the green.

 
 

 

Chimneys

Bi-sect the bunkers on each side of the fairway, and you're fine. Three bunkers, one on the right and two on the left make the already tricky green more challenging. In addition, trees adorn the left and back of the green.

Mere

Some would say this is Bromborough's signature hole. The perfect drive is over a pond and a little to the right of centre. Anything to the left can shut out the approach to the green. The next shot is over a ravine. The green falls off steeply to the right.

Hassall's Gulley

Tee shot over the ravine onto the green, which slopes down from the back to the front. If you are left, right, too big or too short your second shot will be very tricky - unless you are very lucky!

Ruin

A dog leg right and another tight drive - there are trees and ditches to both the left and the right of the fairway. Beware also of the pond and hollow to the right. Avoid the trees on your left on your second shot and you're home and dry for your next shot to the green.

Moel Famau

The tiger line on this hole is over the left bunker of the three on the right. The more cautious player should play to the left of these bunkers. At 230 yards there is a bunker in the left rough which catches some of the longer drives. A well positioned drive leaves you with a shot into a Mc Kenzie green.

 

 
 
 

 

Ravenscroft

Easy enough with a well positioned tee shot, but to the right there are trees and a drainage ditch, and to the left a hedge.

 
 


Seagull's Watch

Driving line needs to be just right of the left hand bunker at 230 yards .It is a slight dog leg left, and trees either side of the fairway can obstruct your shot to the green. The entrance to the green is narrow and bunkers either side are waiting to gather your ball.

Poplars

This is a dog leg right. With large trees blocking anything to the right, the drive must be centre or left of the fairway. At around 260 yards the fairway dips into a ravine, with a drainage ditch on either side. From just short of the ravine you will be looking up a rising fairway to a large uphill green.

Raby Lodge

Slightly up hill to another well bunkered green. However, even on the green your problems may have just started, as, with so many contours, it can be a real test of nerve.

Valley Drive

The drive needs to be far enough left to miss a right hand bunker and, for the longer drivers, not too far left so as to catch the left hand bunker. Once again the hole crosses the ravine with another ditch on the right. Apart from a large cross bunker, the hedge and trees on the left can be the main trouble. The green slopes upwards from front to back.

Hard Approach

Probably the most difficult finishing hole in the County. The drive must be neither right nor left or trouble awaits amongst the many trees. If you are fortunate enough to be on the fairway, you are faced with a green that angles away to the right. A deep bunker skirts the entire length of the right hand side of the green As if that were not enough, out of bounds looms only ten yards to the right, in the form of the practice putting green.
