The Golf Course

The Golf School is located on the private 9-hole golf course, immediately adjacent to the The Old Farmhouse luxury guest accommodation. The latter is only yards from the golf course - the addicted could manage a few holes before breakfast or after dinner !

Students at The Golf School enjoy unlimited free golf on the course which has

9-holes with a Par of 35. An interesting course which requires thought - don't just reach for your Driver on every tee ! Accurate Iron play is required and your short game must be good if you want to achieve a good score.

Course Description 

1st  On the card a shortish par 4 but the driver is up a slight hill, costing you distance. Distance judgment of the second shot is crucial - through the green is to be avoided!

2nd  The tee shot might be only a 5-Wood but accuracy is vital if you are to avoid the very large ash tree on the right hand side of the fairway. Too close to this and you have no shot to the green!

3rd  A dog-leg to the right calling for an accurate tee shot. Perhaps a medium Iron accurately placed will open up the green for your second shot.

4th  A good drive will cut the corner over the hawthorn hedge. Shorter hitters can navigate their way through the fairway wide gap in this hedge.

5th  A testing drive to find the fairway, followed by a second shot up a slight incline. Walk off here with a 4 (nett or gross) and you’ve played the hole well.

6th A testing par three of 203 yards. A ditch in front of the green means most sensible golfers will lay up and hope to get down in 2. The brave, but foolish, might try to get on in one!

7th An attractive hole dog-legging tot he left. A good drive following the curve of the fairway should set you up for a mid-short Iron shot to a receptive green.

8th A par five which opens with an interesting drive to avoid an overhanging branch some 80 yards down the fairway. OOB down the right hand of the fairway makes you concentrate on your second shot. If this has been successful, your third shot is to a receptive green.

9th A devilish par three which looks simple from the tee but certainly is not. A correctly flighted ball is essential if you are to find this green
