Hole 4 - Hibbert's Slab 473 yards Par 4
The planner says par 5 but this is a par 4 on the scorecard for the gents - that's why it is stroke index 1 ! A good drive to the right of the fairway bunker (one of only two on the course!) will leave a demanding second shot into a green which slopes from the front and the right hand side.

Hole 5 - Beeches' Rise 377 yards Par 4
Important to keep the tee shot left of the large trees on the right hand side of the fairway. The second shot can be very deceptive as there is a large distance between the bunker and the green - trust your yardage chart ! A raised and sloping green from back-to-front can leave you with a difficult task to two putt.

Hole 6 - Church View 421 yards Par 4
Some say this is Stokes' signature hole - certainly a good one to get your 4 on ! Aim your tee shot at the church in the distance and you'll not go far wrong ! Anything missing the fairway can put you in trouble as there are trees left and right, coupled with tight rough blocking out a clear shot to this very difficult green. Even if you're on the fairway, the second shot can be one of the most demanding on the course and a lot will be down to luck and the bounce you get !! The green is more receptive to a well struck shot than most think but will you risk it !! Once you get on the green, you've then to negotiate the slippery slopes. Get your 4 and move on !
