Longest Drive Visually impressive the elevated tee box of the Par 5 10th hole measures 501 yards and gives the longer hitters the opportunity to open their shoulders to carry the sneakily positioned ditch. Carry it and it will give you the chance to get on in two with another well struck shot. Toughest Hole Nicknamed the ‘coffin’ for good reason, the Par 4 13th Hole measures 404 yards and starts with a narrow drive that forces players to make a strategic decision off the tee. Layup safely with an iron shot short of the trouble, but this will leave a blind approach, or take a driver to carry the narrow part of the fairway that will then if successful open up the green. Out of bounds all down the right-hand side acts as a magnet to many shots and certainly gets your attention for the full length of the hole. Narrow coffin shaped green (hence the nickname) means any pitch or approach shot must be accurate. A bogey is often a good score to move onto the next hole with. Signature Hole Elevated Par 3 12th Hole measuring 177 from the back tees. Several tee box options are available to alter the hole length and view. If you aren’t distracted by the magnificent views of the Tyne a well struck shot will get you nicely on to the green and a birdie opportunity awaits.
