The
Hole:
A
superb finishing hole, Watcombe Brake climbs to the top of the hill, to a long
straight fairway. A bunker 89 yards out is there to catch the second shots
played to the lay up point, while the well manicured green has a few subtle
slopes to test your putting skills before your card is complete.
Pro's Advice:
Over the hill and home. A good drive to the
right of the post may bring the green within reach and help to yield a closing
birdie, before retiring to the clubhouse for well deserved
refreshment.
Member's
Advice:
Last hole, but there is still the steep slope to negotiate with your
tee shot (and probably your second shot too!), then its a long fairway to the
green with trees beckoning to the right. You are always happy to finish with a
par here.
For the Ladies:
A good par 5 in that it gives you
a good chance of a par or nett par and a realistic chance of a birdie or nett
birdie.The tee shot is all uphill and the marker post is a good line.(Longer
hitters need to be right of the marker). If you get to the top you can see the
green, but few can reach in 2 so be sensible and play a shot to avoid the
bunker on the left or the trees on the right. The green is receptive and large
but beware of your lie with the shot to the green - there is a subtle left to
right slope and this will send the ball right of the target.
