As part of our winter programme the area at the rear of the 5th green is being reshaped and expanded.
The front portion of the green is unplayable for most of the year and this area is being lifted and re-laid at the rear of the green, which will allow additional pin positions and thus spread the traffic on the green to reduce wear.
The 5th hole will be closed from Wednesday, 19th January while this work is taking place. This work is very weather dependent but we expect to have the revised hole back in play at some stage in April.
As a replacement, we will play a temporary hole to the chipping green from a teeing area adjacent to the Proshop ( 85 metres to the centre of the green ) . This hole should be played first and scores should be entered on scorecards as the 5th hole, using the index applicable to the 5th hole. Golfers should then proceed to the 1st hole on the scorecard as usual and continue their round.
Please note that the putting green in the walled garden and the chipping green in Pig’s Hollow will be open as normal, further details are available in the ProShop.
