The twelfth from the right of the fairway, the herd under the park oaks
12
Deer Park
Par 5 · 602 yards from the blue · Index 10
The longest hole on the card, and the one visitors are still talking about at lunch.
The fairway runs through what was the deer park, and the herd is usually somewhere off to the left. They were here first and they have right of way.
From the tee, favour the right half. The two big oaks on the left catch more drives than they deserve, and from behind them there is no way forward.
The second shot is the decision. Stay right of the last oak and you have a short iron to a long green that tilts gently toward you. Go left of it and you are pitching over the tree line.
From the tee
Right half of the fairway, away from the oaks
The second
Right of the last oak, about 140 yards out
On the green
Long and gentle; most putts break toward the park
