Hawtree

Hole Description

Our second, and final, par 5 is an uphill dog-leg to the right, with gorse up both sides. Hitting the reasonably generous fairway from the tee is imperative. The drive needs to be well placed to navigate the dog-leg with bunkers left and right. The green can be reached in two shots if the wind is favourable and you’re a long hitter. Watch out for the fairway bunker at around 100yds short of the green on the left. The 12th green was completely replaced and reshaped shortly after the millennium, and two bunkers now guard it at the front right, which helps to define the front edge of the green on the uphill approach. The front left is still protected by a small tree. Infinitely variable in pace and line, this is one of the most testing greens.
