course

“Don’t be deceived. It might be a short 9-hole course but it’s a little gem.  It provides a very enjoyable setting for a challenging round of golf.  The key with this course is to keep the ball straight!  The 3rd is a real favourite of mine, around 110 yards from an elevated green, fantastic hole”.

A Challenging track in beautiful surroundings!

If you haven't played Ley Hill then you're in for a treat! Hidden away between Chesham and Hemel Hempstead lies Ley Hill, a pretty little village known for its two pubs opposite the cricket pitch. It also has a delightful golf course which sits amid the oak woodland of Ley Hill common. Every hole is lined by mature trees, and in late spring, the woods are resplendent with bluebells. The course is renowned for its challenging tee shots and small greens. Many of the holes on the back nine are played off alternate tees.

HOLE 16

High Oak

Men: 312yds, par 4, stroke-index 11

You haven’t got far to go now, but how do you play this hole?  A driver with a big draw?  A long iron through the gap?  A short iron to leave yourself a high shot over the tree?  It probably depends on the state of your round, but it’s a classic hole with so many scenario’s.  Your round could live or die on this hole!
