A wonderful view of the beautiful Derwent Valley (Valley of
Oaks); this extends up to the heights of the Durham Fells in the far
Distance.

Tee is at the bottom of hill. Stop to take in the views. |
Looking towards the green - single poplar tree is the target |
Golfer's Tip
A difficult hole with a high stroke index - a long par 4 with a tee shot
up a hill, and out of bounds on the left. A good tee shot is essential.
Once you have conquered the hill, your next shot needs to be accurately
directed down an avenue of trees. This is quite wide, but the ball will always
run from right to left and so this has to be taken into account. The green
has bunkers to the front and left to catch approach shots which are slightly
off line and could otherwise disappear down the hill!
