The opening 5 Holes run alongside the River Wyre so be aware; a slice spells a watery grave when the tide is in. One of the finest views in the Fylde area can be seen from the 3rd tee. To the north is Morecambe Bay set against the background of the Lake District Mountains. On a very clear day to the Southwest, the high Mountains of Wales are also visible. One of the courses most infamous holes is the 11th hole 123yd par 3. At first glance this should pose few problems, however with water in front of and to the right of the green, out of bounds on both sides and to the rear of the green ‘mishaps’ often occur! When the wind is blowing this hole can vary from a sand iron to a 5 iron, the hole has ruined more promising good scores than any other hole.
