1

An appreciable beginning, this par four plays straight out along the southern border of the course, to a slightly-elevated, slightly-bunkered green.  Not overly difficult, although loose play could result in bogey.

2

One of the better holes on the course, this little par three has a look that is lacking on the course's other holes:  quality.  It plays at an angle to a green set against the angle.  The putting surface is trapped and undulating.  Sadly, we will not run into such a hole again at Brighton.

3

A simple, straightforward par five.  Blast a drive straight away through a slight shute, then have a go at the green.  The green is slightly elevated, so pitches must be played with some dexterity.

4

A short par four with few teeth.  Slight dogleg left with some thin trees for defense.  Definitely a birdie hole.

5

A challenging dogleg left, the key here is to hug the left side, yet to not err too much to the left.  Shots in the left rough will be blocked by trees, while approaches from the right side of the fairway are lengthened.

6

A dogleg right whose 500 yards can be cut appreciable with a daring drive across the knee of the dogleg.  After the drive, the hole is a simple affair, with under-par scores a regularity.

7

A tough par four for its length (usually a mid-iron approach or longer, depending on wind direction.)  The green, like most others, is slightly elevated above the fairway level.

8

A fairly strong par three, playing along the highway.  No protection from the wind here, a run-up can be played into the green, with bunkers on both sides providing protection to the putting surface.

9

The strongest par four on the course, nine plays at the driving range, then turns left toward the clubhouse.  Drives too far to the right will come home with a fairway metal.  The putting surface is flat and wide, providing no difficulties.

10

Another simple par five, hit it, find it, hit it again, make birdie, move on.  Definitely built in a different era, the 500-yard par five is nearly extinct today.

11

Coming right back parallel to #10, this hole offers an opportunity for another birdie putt.  A good drive leaves a short iron to an unprotected green.

12

Yet another undersized hole.  Straight ahead and blow the man down!  Bunkers on the sides of the green provide little resistance.  Trouble ahead, though.

13

The first of two solid par fours, and of a three-hole stretch that defines the round.  As a dogleg left, the usual necessity for left edge tee shots is evident.  The green is set in a hovel amid trees, and has a bit of marshland on either side for protection.

14

This hole plays along a crowned fairway with trouble on either side.  Not overly long, a good drive opens up the hole, while a poor one closes it down.

15

This behemoth simply does not belong on this course.  At 234 yards, easily the longest three-par on the course.  With swampland left, right and behind, this wide-open hole can be a nemesis.

16

Yet another dogleg left par four (not much creativity on architect Harries' part here) that plays into the northwest corner of the course.  A bit tight, not as simple as it appears on the scorecard.

17

A decent-sized par three, the penultimate hole demands a long iron or rescue club to the green.  OB lurks far to the right.

18

A decent par-four finishing hole that somehow was written down as a par five!  Dogleg right, past a drainage dish, to an unprotected green.  A bit of a back-to-front slope gives the final putting surface a bit of challenge.
