Tapton Park

A tee shot of around 200 yards played to the left of the big tree will leave just a short iron to a green that slopes away from the player.

Reachable for the long hitter but risky. A long iron from the tee played down the left of the fairway leaves a short iron to the green with bunkers either side and out of bounds at the rear.

A good par 3. A ditch runs in the front of the green with a bunker and out of bounds short and to the right. The tee shot should be played to the left for safety and two putts makes a good par.

The longer the tee shot, the narrower the fairway. Aim to the left and the slope will take the ball to the centre of the fairway. The second shot with a mid to long iron to a well guarded two tier green must be accurate. The only safe play is short of the green.

Drive down the centre of the fairway. Second shot is downhill and can be played with a variety of clubs, a slight fade is the order of the day here. The third shot into the green should be played to the right and the slope will kick the ball onto the green.

A tee shot of 180 - 200 yds will leave only a short iron to a difficult green. Both tee shot and approach are best played to the left of centre.

The line here is the Crooked Spire, the fairway slopes to the right. The second shot is uphill and will play at least one club longer than its length. The safe play for the second shot is to the left side of the green.

A mid to short iron par 3. Well guarded with bunkers and severe trouble behind and to the right. The only bail out shot is slightly long and to the left.

A driveable par 4 if you can hit a high draw. The safe play is a mid to long iron to the corner leaving a pitch to the green. A definite birdie chance.

A difficult uphill tee shot played straight up the centre. The second shot is tough too, played to a raised green with no real margin for error.

A good par 3. A ball running into the green will kick to the left, so aim right. A tee shot played deliberately short of the green could leave an easy chip and the best chance to make a 3.

Drive up the right side of the fairway. Reachable in two, but needs an accurate second shot. The fairway slopes right to left and the best approach for the third shot is from the right semi rough.

A straight tee shot of 220 - 230 yds is the safest play here, but leaves a shot of similar length to a well guarded green. The safe play for the average player is a second shot landing 50 yds short of the green and slightly left of centre. Leaving a simple pitch and a safe bogey.

Driveable par 4, but a 230 yd carry uphill and over a ditch. A 180 - 200 yd lay up leaves a 50 yd pitch and a good chance of a birdie.

Drive left of centre. Depending on the drive length, the green may be reachable, but a dangerous shot to take on from a hanging lie and played over the corner ( out of bounds ). Safe play is a mid iron to the top of the hill, leaving a downhill short iron to a green that slopes away from the player.

A drive up the left here has loads of room and will leave only a short iron to a well guarded green. There is about 10 yds of room over the back of the green for a safe miss.

A 200 yd tee shot played left of centre is the order of the day here. This will leave a mid to long iron into a difficult target. Aim at the left edge of the green for the safest miss. The large bunker on the right is a magnet for the miss-hit or miss-guided approach.

Driveable with a 250 yd slice. Safe play is a 200 yd shot played up the centre leaving a semi blind short iron into the green. Aim the second shot left of the flag and let the slope work the ball to the hole.
