At 6,100 yards, the course is not long, yet it presents a stiff challenge to golfers of all abilities. Narrow tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers put a premium on accuracy

WELCOME TO OUR COURSE

Eighteen very testing holes of golf…

Very few amateur golfers match their handicap when they visit. Even professional players find the going tough here.

For many years the course record for the current layout was 66 – only four under par. This has only recently been broken and now stands at an impressive 62.

Hole-by-Hole guide to the course

1st Hole

A long iron or hybrid off the tee to leave a short iron into the green. Accuracy with the tee shot is key.

3rd Hole

A good drive is needed to put the green in range of your second. Fairway bunkers lie right and left to catch a slightly off-centre drive

2025-08-03T10:42:29+00:00

4th Hole

An elevated, well guarded, green means you need to fly this at the pin. Can play anything from a 7 iron to a hybrid but a good mid-iron for most

2025-08-03T10:42:29+00:00

5th Hole

Very narrow start to the drive when teeing off the back but the green is still reachable for most with a hybrid and iron

2025-08-03T10:42:29+00:00

6th Hole

Tricky to get close to white flag set on the right of the green due to a large bunker taking anything a little short and a bank of vey long rough if you roll through

2025-08-03T10:42:29+00:00

7th Hole

Start out right with a bit of draw is the best shaped shot off this tee. Big array of bunkers out right can really penalise a long drive

2025-08-03T10:42:29+00:00

8th Hole

Hole eight is the shortest par 3 on the course with a lake to take any topped shots. Hit a mid-iron to a green guarded by a drop-away to left and bunkers to the right

2025-08-03T10:42:29+00:00

9th Hole

Grip n rip a driver off the tee but give it some draw to avoid the bunkers at the top of the fairway. Keep your second high and right as the left hand green side bunker has a tractor beam!

13th Hole

The thirteenth is a dogleg from left to right. Two perfectly placed bunkers on the left threaten the drives of the long hitters

2025-08-03T10:42:29+00:00

14th Hole

The fourteenth is perhaps the most picturesque of the par 3s. An elevated green is guarded by bunkers to the front, left and right

2025-08-03T10:42:29+00:00

17th Hole

The seventeenth, for many, is Richmond’s signature hole. It's a right angled dogleg from left to right and the landing zone for tee shots is heavily bunkered

2025-08-03T10:42:29+00:00

18th Hole

The final tee affords a view of the clubhouse, but not much sight of the fairway, you have a blind drive over the ridge
