Hole 9 – Hamilton

Holly Rise

PRO Tips

From the tee, you’re faced with a severe uphill climb, so club selection and accuracy are key. Aiming to the left will shorten the hole, but be mindful that this brings the rough into play.

For your second shot, you’ll need to play over the mound. The further back you are, the more demanding the shot becomes, with the trees and whins on the right starting to come into play. Pick your line carefully and favour a confident, well-controlled shot.

Your final approach is to a generous-sized green, with a gentle slope running from front to back. Take advantage of the space available and focus on leaving yourself a manageable putt.

Hopefully, with a well-planned approach and a steady finish, you’ll round off the first nine with a well-earned par.
