accuracy
off

Many
of

fairways

greens
have
a
slope

camber
-
sometimes
quite
pronounced
-
and
starting
the
ball up
the
"right
side"
is
often
critical
to
playing
the
hole
in
par.
This
course
is
on
the
edge
of
the
Chilterns
so
as
you
can
imagine
it
is
anything
but
flat.
Some
of
the
holes
offer
some
great
views
but
walking
the
course
can
get
a
little
tiring
for
some.

greens
were

on
them,
the
same
could
be
said
about
the
fairway's
some
of
our
drives
just
did

to
stop.
The
wind
is
definitely
a
factor
on
this

with
it

you
on

you
could
quite
easily over
shoot
