Hole Description<br />
It was one of the key objectives of the <strong>Restoration</strong> Committee that the original<br />
line of the par 3 13th should be investigated and restored if at all possible. <strong>The</strong><br />
wonderful, historic photographs of the hole provided real inspiration for this. When<br />
the 12th hole was extended the second time, the tees for the 13th were moved to a<br />
position at 90 degrees to the original line and it did not take long for the woodland<br />
to smother out all signs of the old platforms. It was felt that the walk back to the<br />
original tees would be too long and back into the play of the 12th but a safe route<br />
has been found through the trees and well worth a few extra yards of walking. <strong>The</strong><br />
view from the tee, down to the green, across the reservoir and its beautiful stone<br />
bridge is one of the finest on the course. Having said that, the newer hole has real<br />
beauty to it as well so it was decided that two holes should be produced from one.<br />
<strong>The</strong> green has been set up to accept shots from both angles to provide real variety.<br />
