What to Expect

Hole 1

Serpentine

Par 4

232 yds · SI 18

Your opening challenge — OOB on both sides focuses the mind immediately. A gentle introduction to the course's demanding nature.

Hole 3

Potter Fell

Par 3

176 yds · SI 12

A deceptive par 3 — the hidden pin and three-club wind variance make club selection the real challenge.

Hole 4

La'al Wood

Par 4

436 yds · SI 2

Two blind shots and an elevated green make this one of the toughest par 4s on the card. Local knowledge is invaluable here.

Hole 7

Benson Knott

Par 3

221 yds · SI 8

The toughest par 3 on the course. Downhill, exposed to the wind, and punishing for the wayward shot. Par here is a genuine achievement.

Hole 8

Whinfell

Par 5

496 yds · SI 6

The front nine's par 5 climbs uphill throughout. A frontal bunker guards the green — respect it on your third, and you'll earn a birdie chance.

Hole 12

Hellsfell

Par 5

506 yds · SI 11

A dog-leg left with a pond and OOB to navigate. The longest hole on the course — patience and course management are rewarded over ambition.

Scenic Tee

Hole 13

Cunswick

Par 4

399 yds · SI 3

One of the most scenic tee boxes in the country. Breathtaking views across the Lakeland fells — take a moment before you swing.

Hardest · SI 1

Hole 14

Coffin Wood

Par 4

414 yds · SI 1

Stroke index 1 for a reason. OOB on both sides narrows the fairway considerably. Take your medicine and find the short grass — anything else is expensive.

Signature Hole

Hole 17

Battleships

Par 3

129 yds · SI 17

The postcard hole. A raised green surrounded by natural rocky outcrops — short in distance, but tricky in execution. Memorably named and memorably played.
