St Enodoc - Church

St Enodoc's Church course enjoys a justified reputation as one of the West Country's finest links.

The par 5 1st is one of the easier holes even if you have to thread your way carefully between the sand dunes. Pars are harder to come by on the long par 4 2nd and 3rd holes.

The 6th is a 378-yarder that kinks left at driving distance then climbs up to the green. A hidden fairway bunker may catch out longer players seeking a view of the green but laying up short and right leaves a blind shot over the cavernous "Himalaya" bunker!

The 10th hole is often described as the course's signature hole as it winds its way towards 11th Century St. Enodoc Church. A good drive needs to be followed by an even better second aimed at the church porch to avoid the lateral hazard which runs the length of the hole and creeps ever closer to the left side of the green.

Over the memorable final stretch it is club selection is key on the downhill par 3 15th, while the par 5 16th boasts a rollercoaster fairway and potentially distracting sea views all the way down the right. The hole has been lengthened to 560 yards with a two-tier green surrounded by deep bunkers and has now become a stern test particularly into wind.

To finish well you'll need to conjure up your best strikes to make par on the long par 3 17th and fittingly tough 446 yard 18th.

For visitors, men will be asked to produce a handicap certificate of 24 or less and ladies 28.
