Named "Friary," this stunning par 3 is played past the ruins of the 15th-century Franciscan friary with the River Maigue flowing alongside.

The hole combines natural beauty with historical significance.

A sweeping par 5 that plays along the River Maigue with the water in play on the right throughout.

The green is perched above the river with the estate woodland providing a beautiful backdrop.

A demanding par 4 that plays through ancient woodland with the River Maigue visible through the trees.

A beautiful par 3 with the Gothic manor house visible in the distance, creating a spectacular backdrop.
