'QUANTOCKS'
Par 4, 422 Yards, SI 3
Named after the range of hills which are clearly visible to the south west across Bridgwater Bay. The Quantocks were England’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, being designated in 1956. This hole was previously played as the third hole before the first was changed. The hole was shorter before Colt moved the green back onto the plateau where it is today and opened for play in 1923.
Pro Tip
“Drive between the two large sand hills to a rolling fairway. This will set up a second shot to a long narrow green cut into a plateau with bunkers left and a steep bank to the right. If you short side yourself here it will be a very difficult up and down. If you miss the green, short is the easiest place to save par.”
