Hole Number Twelve - " Cole's Hole" - This is the old First hole of the old nine hole course but played in the opposite direction to a new green adjacent to the new clubhouse, the tee being near the site of the old green. This alteration was originally suggested by Bill Cole, professional and greenkeeper in the late sixties- hence " Cole's Hole". An average straight drive will leave a second shot of about 170 yards, downhill to a green well bunkered on the left. Near the green the ground slopes from the right towards these bunkers, and the clubhouse garden and practise putting green are " out of bounds" to gather in the stray shot on the right.
