THE PROFESSIONAL’S TIPS TO PLAYING PENNARD
1ST FOUNDER: A strong opening hole. Your tee shot needs to be straight between two hillocks. The green is neatly tucked in a hollow so make sure you select the correct club for your approach shot.
2nd CEFN BRYN: A gentle par 3 – make sure you miss the cheeky bunker front left of the green.
3rd PRESIDENT: A dogleg left par 4 – your line off the tee is the farmhouse on the hill. Hit the fairway and you will have a short to medium iron for your second shot.
4th ILSTON: On the marker with your tee shot. If you are long enough you may get home in two. The green does run away from you so make sure your yardage is correct with your approach shot.
5th PENMAEN: A great par 3 - miss the green and you will struggle to make your par.
6th ADMIRAL: An uphill tee shot on the marker and you are in a good position to find the green which nestles in a hollow surrounded by sand dunes.
7th CASTLE: A magnificent par 4. An inviting tee shot to a tumbling fairway and will require all your skill to hold a plateau green which runs away from you. Concentrate on your game as the views may distract you.
8th CHURCH: Another tee shot which takes in the scenery – slight dogleg left marker is a good line to avoid two fairway bunkers left of the marker post.
9th SOUTHGATE: A good two shot par 4 (par 5 for ladies). Keep your drive on the marker to leave yourself a long to mid iron for your second shot.
10th THREE CLIFFS: Depending on the direct of the wind, a good tee shot into the gap and you may get home in two if you lay up. Your shot to the green is one of the most difficult on the course – if short the ball comes back to you long and a couple of bunkers await – good luck.
11th TOWER: Club selection is the key – the green is only 13 yards wide so don’t be short.
12th PENNARD PILL: A short par 4 but don’t miss the green on the right.
13th COLONEL: You will need to strike your Sunday best shot to find this green don’t be short.
14th BRAIDS: Over the marker with your tee short to avoid fairway bunker on the left will leave you with an uphill second shot to an undulating green.
15th BOSCOS DEN: A challenging tee shot so club selection is key to this three tiered green.
16th GREAT TOR: Our signature hole, usually into the prevailing wind. If you hit your tee shot past the marker post you may have a chance to get home in two and even if you do a par will be a good score.
17th HELWICKS: A double dogleg par 5. A risk and reward tee shot over the marker post will leave a second shot to a green guarded by gorse. Fail to hit the fairway and accept a three shot par 5.
18th HIGHWAY: Probably the most difficult fairway to hit on the golf links. A slight fade will have the best chance of holding the fairway to leave you with a medium to short iron to a large undulating green.
