| Moor Downs Hole Descriptions
#1 - 331/314 Par 4
This opening hole is slightly downhill and fairly wide open. A few trees on the left will get you into trouble if you miss the fairway. A fairway bunker short and right and a left-greenside bunker protect this very small green.
#2 - 341/322 Par 4
Keep your tee shot down the left side of the fairway and you will have an open shot to the green. Too far right and you will have tree trouble. The second half of this hole is uphill and a slight dogleg right. Avoid the bunkers on either side of the green.
#3 - 179/156 Par 3
Choose the right club, as this par three is all carry over a bunker protecting the front of the green.
#4 - 317/302 Par 4
This sporty par 4 hole is a dogleg right and is wide open if you stay in the middle of the fairway. Try and go for the green by cutting the corner, but if you mis-hit slightly right, you will have tree trouble and a likely double-bogey.
#5 - 329/313 Par 4
This hole with it’s elevated tee shot looks innocent enough but with water and trees on the left the tendency is to aim right and if you do leak it right, you are in jail. If a green were to ever be described as a “postage stamp green”, this would be the one. This amazingly tricky green is difficult to hold with its size and dome shape.
#6 - 379/338 Par 4
A very unique dogleg left, a well placed tee shot is a must. Although fairly open, an errant tee shot could lead to a troublesome second shot over water to a two tiered green. History states that the dirt and mud from this area of the golf course was used in the Moor Bath’s and Hotel in the 1920’s. The mud was believed to have healing powers.
#7 - 129/114 Par 3
The shortest hole on the course is considered the easiest. Don’t worry about the water on the right, it should not come into play. A short iron to a very slippery sloping green should get you your par, but a 3-putt is not out of the realm.
#8 - 288/238 Par 4
This short par four is straight away, but the long hitters have a fairway bunker and water on the left to contend with. Another very small and well protected green awaits you.
#9 - 417/393 Par 4
The longest and most difficult hole on the course. An uphill dogleg right, your tee shot needs to carry water and stay on the left side of the fairway to have any chance of hitting the green on your second shot. Tree trouble awaits you on the right side of this menacing hole.
