No 1    The Drive    Par 3   

white yards: 197 yards
yellow yards: 192 yards
red yards: 178 yards

A tough opening hole, the longest par 3 on the course. Your tee shot should be right of centre to avoid the mature tree guarding the left of the green.

No 2 The Lye Green    Par 4

white yards: 289 yards
yellow yards: 284 yards
red yards: 253 yards

A par 4 that requires a plan from the tee - either lay up short of the pond (150 yards) or risk the carry of over 180 yards. A large oak on the right narrows this fairway.

No 3 Amen Corner    Par 3        

white yards: 335 yards
yellow yards: 328 yards
red yards: 324 yards

This stunning hole has been extended. Only a pinpoint accurate tee shot will enable a routine approach.

No 4 The Furlong    Par 4        

white yards: 357 yards
yellow yards: 351 yards
red yards: 303 yards

Out of bounds down the left side requires an accurate tee shot. A pond right of the green means care must be          exercised with the approach shot.

No 5 The Dart Board    Par 3         

white yards: 129 yards
yellow yards: 97 yards
red yards: 87 yards

A wonderful short hole to test your nerve, the signature hole at the Ardencote, once played, never forgotten. A three here is a great score.

No 6 The Water Tower    Par 3         

white yards: 230 yards
yellow yards: 188 yards
red yards: 182 yards

Overhanging branches make this a testing tee shot from the back tee, which then makes the hole a par 4. Mature trees on the left feature from the forward tees.

No 7 The Switch Back    Par 3         

white yards: 166 yards
yellow yards: 162 yards
red yards: 155 yards

Going for the top tier of this green is a brave shot as trouble is not far away through the back.

No 8     The Perch    Par 3       

white yards: 138 yards
yellow yards: 121 yards
red yards: 106 yards

Another hole where water features from all the tees. Carry over water to a well protected green.

No 9    The Snake Pit    Par 3                  

white yards: 190 yards 
yellow yards: 186 yards
red yards: 182 yards

Out of bounds left and mature trees right require an accurate shot on this tough finishing hole.
