19th Hole

Par 5

Stroke Index: Ladies 6/5, Men 6/5

No fewer than ten bunkers are brought into play on this 90 degree dogleg hole. Seven of them are located right where you need to place your drive. Longer hitters sometimes cut the corner so as to set up a long second to the superbly sited green with the lake as a backdrop. The one thing you must do though is hit your drive far enough to get a view of the fairway.

Tees and Yards

  • Black: 496 yards

  • Purple: 526 yards

  • White: 580 yards

  • Green: 601 yards

A scenic view of a golf course with green fairways, a pond, sand traps, and trees under a blue sky with fluffy clouds.

Pro Advice

From the tee, any shot leaked right will be caught by the mounds and the bunkers so make sure you go just left of them. From there a long second will set up a short pitch for your third and birdie chance.

20th Hole

Par 4

Stroke Index: Ladies 8/7, Men 2/1

A daunting drive over the corner of the lake is the first challenge on what is one of the most testing holes at Cumberwell. From there you will need a long and accurate second to the rolling green protected on the right by some severe bunkers.

Tees and Yards

  • Black: 317 yards

  • Purple: 391 yards

  • White: 409 yards

  • Green: 451 yards

A golf course with a sand trap bunker in the foreground, lush green grass, and trees in the background under a cloudy sky.

Pro Advice

This hole is a very testing par four. A long drive uphill is needed to make the green reachable in two. Avoid bunkers on the right and favour the left hand side to open up the green. When hitting for the green you need to be on the correct tier or you could be faced with a very difficult putt.

21st Hole

Par 4

Stroke Index: Ladies 4/3, Men 16/15

A great little par four, full of options. You can take the ultra cautious route and just poke a little iron off the tee. However, that will leave you a longer second over the cavernous greenside bunker with the possibility of getting blocked out by the trees. The smart and aggressive play is to drill a long iron or three wood at the poplar trees in the distance and get as close to the pond as you dare. This will give you an easy pitch in and a chance to grab a much needed birdie.

Tees and Yards

  • Black: 297 yards

  • Purple: 331 yards

  • White: 321 yards

  • Green: 330 yards

A scenic outdoor view of a pond with two ducks swimming, surrounded by tall grass, trees, a grassy hill, and a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Pro Advice

The top players have been known to drive the green here, but best forget that option for now. Avoid the left hand side of the fairway. It might be an easy bale out but will leave you a sloping, downhill lie from the thick rough with a pond to carry. Not recommended.

22nd Hole

Par 4

Stroke Index: Ladies 16/15, Men 14/13

Another top quality driving hole. Take on the left hand side and cut the corner. The slope of the mounds will bring it back to the fairway but don't pull it left or you will end up in an old hedge. A simple pitch in will seem easy, but the green slopes severely from the back to the front and also to the right.

Tees and Yards

  • Black: 296 yards

  • Purple: 309 yards

  • White: 326 yards

  • Green: 371 yards

A lush golf course with green grass and trees, under a blue sky with scattered white clouds.

Pro Advice

From the green tees this is a daunting drive. However, you can't hang back if you want a view of the green. Again this green can be very fast so try and leave an uphill putt.

23rd Hole

Par 4

Stroke Index: Ladies 14/13, Men 4/3

The large poplar tree in the distance is a good aiming point but you need to be long and straight to hit the sloping fairway. Three hidden bunkers protect anything that goes right in an attempt to cut the corner too much. Beware the wetlands area to the left of the fairway.

Tees and Yards

  • Black: 313 yards

  • Purple: 377 yards

  • White: 432 yards

  • Green: 437 yards

A golf course with a sand trap in the foreground, lush green grass, trees in the background, and a cloudy sky overhead.

Pro Advice

One of the hardest drives on the course. The bunkers on the right must be avoided, but also the lake on the left. An ideal position is left side of the fairway so as to open up the sloping green. Look at where the pin is and try to leave an uphill putt.

24th Hole

Par 3

Stroke Index: Ladies 18/17, Men 18/17

With vast multiple tees, this hole can be anything from a wedge to a three iron. Played over a picturesque lake with a brook to the left, this hole is very photogenic. However, you won't be admiring the vista if you come up short.

Tees and Yards

  • Black: 114 yards

  • Purple: 135 yards

  • White: 156 yards

  • Green: 181 yards

A golf course with a sand trap in the foreground, a putting green with a flag, and a pond surrounded by trees under a partly cloudy sky.

Pro Advice

On this tricky par three it is important to hit the correct part of the green. With three tiers, accuracy is a must if you are to avoid a nasty putt. The more imaginative golfers can use the slopes of the green and the little bank on the right to feed the ball in close.

25th Hole

Par 4

Stroke Index: Ladies 2/1, Men 8/7

Yet another excellent driving hole. The temptation is to cut the corner from the tee but with three hidden bunkers and some evil clumps of gorse, this isn't always the best option.

Tees and Yards

  • Black: 377 yards

  • Purple: 390 yards

  • White: 416 yards

  • Green: 435 yards

A golf course with green grass and sand bunkers, surrounded by trees and a cloudy sky.

Pro Advice

This drive favours a draw. Make sure you are on the left of the bunker on the right and you will have a view of the green. If you are long enough you can have a go at the green which is pretty flat. Otherwise, lay up short of the fairway bunker and it will leave a straightforward pitch.

26th Hole

Par 3

Stroke Index: Ladies 10/9, Men 10/9

What can you say about the 26th hole? One of the finest risk and reward holes you will ever find. If the pin is tucked anywhere near the left side you will need to hit close to the lake for a good chance of a birdie or even a par. Bale out right and you could have a monster putt. From the back tees this hole is formidable where anything less than perfect will find a watery grave.

Tees and Yards

  • Black: 127 yards

  • Purple: 171 yards

  • White: 196 yards

  • Green: 217 yards

Scenic view of a golf course with lush green grass, trees, a body of water, and cloudy sky.

Pro Advice

This is a memorable hole and there is only one way to play it. Aim at the green and commit yourself to your best and most positive swing. There is no getting away from it, this shot demands your best. Walking off the green with a par or even a birdie is a great feeling.

27th Hole

Par 5

Stroke Index: Ladies 12/11, Men 12/11

On paper this last hole should be quite an easy short par five. However, uphill into the wind and a tight drive between four bunkers means that this is far from a pushover. The second shot again played uphill is to a huge, well protected green.

Tees and Yards

  • Red: 420 yards

  • Purple: 440 yards

  • White: 458 yards

  • Green: 466 yards

A golf course with a sand bunker in the foreground, lush green grass, trees, a building in the distance, and a partly cloudy sky.

Pro Advice

Power your drive away, drill a three wood, hole the putt and get in the bar to celebrate. That's the theory anyway!
