The first of many short but challenging par 4s. Slightly downhill from the side of the clubhouse. A ditch separates the 1st and 18th fairways, plus there’s a lateral ditch in front of the green. There are mid left and front right bunkers on a subtly undulating green.

Back up the incline with the Sandsend Road to your left, but plenty of room out right. Your second will have to consider a winding ditch about 70 yards short of a mounded, kidneyshaped, back-to-front sloping green, with front left and centre-right traps.

A slight dogleg still parallel to the road, with a fairway bunker on the elbow. After a gentle rise the approach runs away from you with a mounded green also sloping from front to back.

Classic views of the Sandsend cliffs from the 4th tee. It would need a pull hook to bring the left side OB into play, but overshooting could also find trouble. The green slopes back right to front left with pin position crucial.

Real character to this hole. An intimidating looking drive, carrying the scrub which descends to the beach, but there’s plenty of room right. The fairway dips slightly into a back-to-front sloping green with sand back left and front right.

A longer par 4 where again you need to stay right. The tiered MacKenzie-style green features a front left trap set below the green, but a devilish mid right bunker which will challenge your skills if you’re in there.

The signature hole, index 1 and once played, not forgotten. The carry across the ravine is about 120 yards, which you then cross by a narrow footbridge. Across on the fairway it’s a sweeping, uphill left to righter, into a back-right to front-left sloping green with the White House beer garden dwellers for an audience.

A tight-looking drive, but the fairway opens up wide to the right and a steep bank will throw wide balls back to the short grass. A lateral fairway bunker deters from trying to drive the green, which slopes away from your approach.

Across the road and this is a tough hole when first encountered. A short, sharp dogleg right to an elevated green, but you must stay left of the marker post because anything right falls away into deep trouble. It’s a pretty approach into a green complex with sand catching anything short left.

A medium par 3 with two big bunkers protecting the front of a green with some pronounced undulations providing food for thought.

Stroke index 2 and an excellent challenge. Your drive is up and over a ridge at 190 yards, at which point the fairway is just 12 yards wide. Your approach to an elevated green is across a gully with a ditch in the bottom. There are bunkers to avoid, but mounding for help at right and rear of a slightly crowned green.

A downhill, sweeping left-to righter,but stay left. A downhill approach over a big front left trap to a mounded green with three distinct levels, dropping from back left to a false front on the right.

Again, downhill and driveable in theory, but there’s out of bounds left and a lateral ditch awaiting anyone going straight for the green.

Last of the holes on the inland side of the road. It’s one of the new holes and a ‘fair’ par 3, but everything drops away left if you don’t get your tee shot up sufficiently.

Short downhill but there’s a reason it’s stroke 12. Another ditch at the front for protection, but the real danger is a green that slopes front right to back left. If you find the front bunker above the green, good luck holding the putting surface.

Back up to the top of the course from an elevated tee, a winding right to left hole which plays long. Once more, a sloping right-to-left green will provide a good test.

Heading for home, down the 17th where you need to stay right side. A pond sits 50 yards short of a sunken green where the smartest play is to run your ball in short from the left.

Back over the ravine up the closing par 5. Stay right side of the marker post because trouble awaits if you try to cut too much off. Your approach is into a long, narrow green – just 5 yards at the entrance – with bunkers front left and the entire length of the right side. The ditch separating the 1st/18th could be a problem for shots pulled left.
