A short downhill par 3 will play slightly longer than the yardage, playing to a small rear elevated green that can cause a tricky recovery shot if you miss left or long as it will roll down the bank into the rough.

A pleasant par 3, teeing from an elevated tee you will need to carry difficult rough and a small ditch that runs across the fairway. Playing into a large tear shaped green that is uncaptured by a bank.

A downhill par 3, if you come up short you will benefit from the downhill slope as it will kick on. If you are playing from the whites, it’s a long par 3 and opens the margin of error.

Hole 1 at Birley Wood Golf Course - A straight, downhill par 4 to start with, a statically placed bunker in the centre of the fairway at 240 yards down the fairway can hamper most golfers if they go with the driver.
